Alright, go to www.battle.net
If you can't see it, it has Pictures of Warcraft 3 characters, Starcraft Characters, and a Diablo2 Character, all with the date 10 7 05, which is todays date. In addition, all the battle.net forums have been cleared or been replaced with a page that says "Server is busy." The only thing reps are saying is "It's a surprise." or rather..
[12:45:32 PM] <ChuckS.Support@Blizzard> 456diablo@USWest: The secrets of the standard remain a mystery at this time.
[12:49:15 PM] <ChuckS.Support@Blizzard> ADD-Xgod069@USWest: information about the Standard is still a mystery.
[12:51:35 PM] <ChuckS.Support@Blizzard> ADD-Xgod069@USWest: None that we may divulge at this time.
[12:54:06 PM] <ChuckS.Support@Blizzard> ADD-Xgod069@USWest: I am not aware of a revelation that is coming soon.
Whatever it is, its being called "The Standard." The reps won't even tell you if they are just pulling our legs.. Hopefully not..

The connection with Battle.net has failed.
EDIT- It works now... The title page is pretty cool, but i dont know whats going on.
And by the way, did you notice the wireframed planet (Is that the Battle.net logo?) in all of their eyes?

Maybe its different from when you saw it, but what I'm seeing is a warcraft icon for the page then 10 . 7 . 05 as the page name then it shows a binary (probably an actual message) string of numbers with coloration to form an image of a ghost and the word "WAI!!!" as far as I can make out.

Eh, that's really weird. I don't really understand it though though of course it means something. I don't see any Warcraft III people or anything, just the binary image.

I get a shaded binary drawing with the words: NO WAI!!!!! printed on its front. A few minutes ago the site was blank.

Yeah I see it now. What it looks like to me is a more futuristic GUI design for the site. *cough SC2 cough*
Yeah you can almost be guaranteed thats a SC theme going on there. The only of the 3 games that goes with the theme (left navbar) is Starcraft.

Never saw the binary one... Anyway, i found the binary was invalid, and i guess they were just bored and felt like making a random binary picture!
