Diablo 1 To Be ReCreated in Diablo 3

Blizzard announced that the original Diablo is being recreated in Diablo 3. The update, which will be a free event, will feature almost everything you love about that great old game, from 16 levels and four main bosses to a special graphics filter that will make the graphics "pixelated and grainy," and even character movement that's locked to eight directions.

"There will be many secrets to discover as well. If you love Diablo, this anniversary event will be very nostalgic," chief development officer Frank Pearce said during his presentation. Pearce also revealed, not entirely surprisingly, that the Necromancer class is coming to Diablo 3. The new class is a "reimagining" of the Diablo 2 Necromancer, but will will wield at least some of the same abilities, like Bone Spear and Corpse Explosion.

Players will be able to enter the Dungeon via a teleporter in The Old Ruins of Tristram. The Anniversary Dungeon will be included in "The Darkening of Tristram" patch for free. It will be on PTR next week, and live in January. Do note that this will be a limited time event, occurring for the month of January every year.

This would have been awesome beyond expression if it weren't for the fact that it's some cheesy limited time event.

But then how you make people to go back to your awful game or other have to buy it just to play a seasonal event. :bang:

would of preferred D2 tbh but hey I will take this.

D3 is totally dead atm, its so boring now. The seasons are boring and just a total grind fest. Why would I want to start all over again every three months so all my hard work I did for the past three months is now just moved over to normal mode where I will never ever use it.

D3 needs a new expansion and a big one, or a big overhaul. Or better still a completely new game.

Just remake D2 in D3 graphics and LEAVE IT HOW IT WAS!!!

maybe someone will make patch so it can be played anytime
i believe the data is on the client not server side
so its all about "portal" that get flagged on specific timing so player can jump to it

if someone can patch make the patch always available
then people can play anytime... sound simple but if there "always online status check" it going to be hard

but again it depends on the community, people will try harder if there big demands, not so much if only handful player want it
