Yeah figured this would happen soon enough after they bought the domain rights to diablo3.com and started hiring people for a secret project. Diablo series too much of a good thing for them to not develop

Re: Diablo 3 announced couple hours ago!

Cool! I remember playing Diablo 1 on my 486dx4 back in the day. Overclocked to 100MHz with 40mb Ram and 0.85GB hard drive. Oooh yeah.

Was a very cool game. In fact I almost downloaded it the other day. Never played 2 though. Good?

Diablo 2 LOD is awesome, esp for a very old game. Best played online, US West server is the main one and has over 50,000 people on usualy

Good way to make money too, i build custom characters and find unique items then sell them on Ebay

Well as with most things in life, I know the right people... one of my best friends is a project manager there

But I've also done 9 years of J2EE development/solution architecture for big corporates like Vodafone, Telecom, Lloyds Bank, WestPac, Lumley Insurance, Southern Cross Finance, and a few others

7 will go into storage, or ill try export it to do the cannonball run

Treasure!
Violence and destruction is just a means to get uber rare items, that you use to kill more demons and get better uber rare items....
or you can be sad and buy them off ebay

I cant wait! there goes my spare time......

Re: Diablo 3 announced couple hours ago!

I just pulled Diabo II LOD out of the box, and the graphics suck!! 800X600 or something.

I clocked Diablo I a long time ago...is it worth it? Diablo II LOD? Ill play it so I know whats goin on with D3, IF its worth it.

Re: Diablo 3 announced couple hours ago!

I've never been one to get into playing these sorts of games online, but used to love playing Diablo2 at LANs "Back in the day"

Will definitely give Diablo3 a stab.

I'm really looking forward to Spore this year though..

Re: Diablo 3 announced couple hours ago!

Hell yes!

This is going to be massive.

I recently cracked out my old DII because the ladder just reset three weeks ago.

The thing is with DII is that alot of the 1337 people still play, because as far as PVP goes, DII is really hard to beat.


The graphics are soo basic, but they are still bearable to play.

Bearing in mind DII was made in like 1996/1997 or something.

If you still play, add my account on there *GCRE ladder/useast

Yeah the graphics are lame compared to todays but for an old game to still be cranking it must be pretty popular
