diablo 3 announcement resurrects diablo 2
hearing the announcement that diablo 3 is in the works completely threw the gaming world for a loop. this has been a very well kept secret by blizzard in that their first announcement of the game also showcased a 19 minute gameplay video which showed a game that already looked well polished and feature complete. after watching the video three times in a row, i decided to resurrect my copy of diablo 2 to get my mind back in the diablo universe in preparation.
after installing diablo 2 and the lord of destruction expansion pack, i created a new battle.net account, made a sorceress character, and immediately looked for a rush (where a high level character completes quests for you allowing you to get rushed through the game rapidly). while playing i posed the question to my fellow diablo players; “who here is just getting back into diablo 2 after hearing about diablo 3?” everyone in the game replied “me!” the same could be said for players in nearly every game i joined.
fast forward from the announcement to now and i find myself with a level 87 sorceress and about five mule characters full of items, runes and gems. it’s great fun for a game that is 8 years old. have you just gotten back into diablo 2 after hearing about diablo 3? leave a comment and let us know.
