So last week, a couple days before the D3 announcement (when everyone was so concerned with the splash screens), I remember reading a thread where some guy was talking about how he's good friends with a Blizzard employee, blah blah blah. I, as I'm sure everyone else who saw it, was quick to dismiss the guy as a fake for obvious reasons. However, HE WAS RIGHT. He said his friend told him about the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor. He really did have leaked info..... this was DAYS before the announcement.
I looked for a while to try and find the thread but had no luck :(
Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about? I do remember him saying something about buying his friend dinner to get him to talk. Maybe this guy knows some more information that hasn't been "released" yet.
Ill split the cost of buying this guy dinner if he talks.... :D
You can bill me for a couple rounds of beers for the bloke once he's found.

It's there somewhere in the depths of the d3 forum. Maybe his friend told him other stuff too

Some members from Diabloii.net also seemed to know for certain 2 days in advance.

I doubt it, that was posted yesterday and isn't very believable. The old drunk employee cliche, come on.

Hey, that's how I met my girlfrie... erm... :P (Just kidding, I didn't actually meet her while she was drunk).
That's the only thread I could think of, I didn't even look at the posting date *smacks forehead*

I think the guy who you are thinking of is the guy called "blizzsecrets" who made the thread called "time is short". I believe his thread was deleted and I don't recall him saying there was a witch doctor class. I also believe he said the game was going to be a mmo so I definately think it was someones idea of a prank. I don't recall any other people giving "spoilers."

Nope this dude was dead on.
It wasn't any of the guys you all have mentioned. He actually talked about the Witch Doctor and Barbarian prior to announcement and gave a little insight as to what they were (no one really believed him). It was maybe the Wednesday or Thursday before WWI. I've looked forever for the thread. No luck.
hmm meh I just linked sometihng that I Thought was what you were looking for
