Jay Wilson addressed the issue of Shrines at a press conference at Blizzcon, in October 2008. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcon-press-conference-with-jay-wilson/]
::'''Question:'''Will there be shrines in Diablo 3?'''<br>
::'''Jay Wilson:''' We have not decided about it. We have ideas for shrines. The things is that only two shrines were actually interesting to the player: {{iw|shrines Experience Shrines}} and {{iw|shrines Monster Shrines}}. Other shrines where like “nah”. We want to bring some system in with this functionality. This is where the combo exp bonus comes from. It’s not replacing shrines, but it’s playing in to it.

The question came up again six months later, in April 2009. Jay's answer indicates that the team hasn't done any work on the issue since last October. The questions were submitted by fans, and relayed to Jay by Blizzard Community Manager, Bornakk.[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies/P10/]
::'''Bornakk:'''Will shrines be making a return to the world of Sanctuary in Diablo 3?
