They just registered for "CORE-ONLINE" and "COREONLINE".

I was hoping for a possible Online Mech/Front Mission game (e.g. Armored Core Online), but it appears that "Core Online" is just a gaming service portal.
IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, the provision of online computer game services; online computer game services provided by means of an internet portal; information and advisory services relating theretoThis new registration is actually related to an older September filing called CORE:

They purchased the "CORE" trademark from another company a really long time ago too:

They don't appear to own most of the "CoreOnline" and "Core-Online" domains, so I don't think they have any serious or immediate use for this new trademark.
Diablo 3 "Crack" Update
There's been a few new updates on the Diablo 3 Emulator front, it's still in a basic sandbox state though. I figured that since things were so quiet, I might as well start tracking the project and providing updates here for those that were interested.
Here are all of the links to get you started:

Prison Kings
EA has just filed a couple new Trademarks for a game called "Prison Kings". It appears to be a mobile game.
