At ten o'clock our time D3, a game that's been in development for many, many years finally gets its launch date. Abostang and I will be there at the launch online and start our quest to defeat evil. I'm off work tomorrow but I also have quite a few errands to run during the day. After that I'll get a few hours in before returning to work Wednesday and resume our normal working schedule.
Diablo was one of the very first online games you could enjoy on the free service Battlenet. It was designed to match people up with other people and adventure together, a real breakthrough at the time when most people had a 33.6 modem or less. The 56K was on the horizon but costly when you could find it locally.
Anything faster was a dream.
It was a true milestone in the history of gaming and lots of companies took notice as people started to populate the randomly generated dungeons. Diablo was unique and now D3 has made sales history by being the most pre-ordered game of all time.
In the world of the gamer this is big and I'm starting it tonight!
