![]() Sorry for all of the Diablo questions, I would like to say I love Torchlight! Both 1 and 2! Can’t wait for it! When can we expect the Torchlight MMORPG? Will it be pay to play or free like Guild Wars 2? What are your personal favorite characters from the Diablo universe and why? If you could re-unite the entire original Blizzard North Team (David Brevik, Bill Roper) to work on a Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 Movie, would you? (Please!!) If so, which director would you want to work on a Diablo movie? Any actor choices in mind for the main cast!? PS: Do you foresee working on the Diablo 3 Expansion, after such negative feedback Blizzard has received on their Diablo 3, do you think they will consider working with you two for the Expansion? Would you even want to? Did you ever get asked by Blizzard to consult or 1099 for the D3 project? If not, how big of a mistake do you think this was? I really cannot fathom their thought process, trying to create something without the heart (Max) and Brain (Erich, sorry Max) behind the entire concept of Diablo. Also, what would you have done differently?Īs a hiring authority myself I have a great understanding of IT contracting and I have often wondered if the bad blood between you and Blizzard has prevented them from at least allowing you two to consult on the Diablo 3 project, to lend your expertise as creators and founders of the world of Diablo. How do you feel about Diablo 3? I mean both of you really tell me the truth here. ![]() I know I am very partial to Diablo 2, but anyone who has played D1/D2 and then goes to play Diablo 3 can easily tell that this does not have the same passion and heart in it as you and your team had when creating the world of Diablo. Question Two: I believe the current team at Blizzard has not just failed, but butchered what you guys created in their version of “Diablo” 3. “One of the key reasons for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III which did not meet the expectations of Vivendi” –Question 1, Do you agree with the previous reasoning behind the B.North split? If not, what is your reason, the real reason? How good is the relationship between Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, David Brevik and Bill Roper in 2012? Does the original Condor team still talk and have a good relationship? I believe these names to be the greatest combination of minds in gaming. There is a very good reason thousands of people still continue to play your games, they have transcended time and I believe the re-playability of Diablo will never be matched. Your game has really meant a lot to me, giving me lifelong friends which I met back in 1996-97 over and have remained best friends over these long years. (Huge fan here!) (Insert "we're not worthy" clip from Waynes World) You guys and your B.North team really set the standard of which really only torchlight has come close to touching, even 16 years later. I believe I speak for everyone who has had the opportunity to play either D1 or D2 when I say that these two games revolutionized how PC RPG gaming should be done. As an avid fan of Diablo since 1996 and an active player of both Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 since their release, I really just wanted to thank you both for such an amazing contribution to the gaming world. I have a few questions I have wanted to ask you two for years, I also have a few things I have wanted to tell you for many years as well. ![]() Clearly I have been waiting for this chance! Diablo 2 is my favorite game of all time and I still play it pretty much every day :)
