A Decade of Diablo II
From the depths of hell the sounds of celebration and merriment are to be heard today. Not because another group of adventurers has vanquished the Lord of Destruction but because today the game celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Released on June 29th 2000, Diablo II instantly became a firm favourite of many RPG fanatic like myself. Its unending Demon slaughter combined with classic RPG design ideal, built on top of the well-built world of the first title, it would have been hard for it to fail.
Yet undoubtedly nobody, not even Blizzard themselves, could have expected that players would still be logging on to their Battle.net service for the game on a daily basis. The game also still receives update patches & regularly makes its way back into the PC games sales charts.
I personally have lost count about of the number of times I’ve reinstalled the game, compelled to play through it all again with a different class or build.
So let us raise a flagon of our best brew to Diablo, his Minions & all the great adventures we’ve had over the years killing them.
