What does it mean when Blizzard teases us so? Well, it could mean many things. This very type of teaser has been used for several other announcements in the past, so your guess is as good as ours. If we had to wager an educated guess, we would say that a closed beta start date and release date is about to be announced for Wrath of the Lich King coinciding with the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational. Although we'd also love to think that Blizzard was close to announcing their next MMO, but that probably won't happen for a very long time.
Then again, as far as we know Blizzard has never teased us about a release date. So if you want to start making your wild guesses now, that piece of information is a good place to start. If it's not WotLK-related, our second guess would be an announcement that Diablo 3 is being "thawed out" for everyone in the near future. Yeah, we know it's a (lame) stretch -- but that's half the fun of it!
Update: After some poking around, we've discovered something interesting. Out of all the Blizzard websites, diablo.com is the only one that points our browsers to this splash page. Simple coincidence or subtle hint? We'll let you guys be the judge.
Update 2: Apparently diablo.com has pointed to blizzard.com for a while now. It looks like simple coincidence is much more likely in this scenario.

Can't think of anything starcraft 2 related, but its also a possibility.

There's a symbol in the middle left of the picture. I havn't played a blizzard game since starcraft was new, so I don't recognize it.

Well the CSS file contains names like "tundra" and "icefield" and one of the commented out images is this (I have no idea what it is):

Most likely WotLK related. Looks like ice. With Wrath and Starcraft 2 on the horizon, I can't see them having a third project to announce yet and having three games to be on the horizon.

www.warcraft2.com also forwards thru to www.blizzard.com
My guess is that the blizzard websites that serve no more purpose link to there. Sorry, peeps: like my friend said, the link with all that ice at the end means "Blizzard will make Diablo 3 when hell freezes over". =(
Hellgate London was sort of Diablo 3, but man did that disappoint.

Interesting page.
It might be Diablo III. That will be a downer. I already knew they were making it. Not much of an announcement...
