Why do you feel the need to enforce your opinions on others so much? Did you get bullied a lot in school or something?

Don't be such a hypocrite.

I express my opinions about things.
What you did there was stating something that had absolutely nothing to do with the argument, and everything to do with your opinion.

Art style is somthing that you like or not. There is no better or worse art style. Graphic is really hard to be better for a game that is 7 years old.

No, no it wasn't. Are you hurt from hearing the truth? The original Diablo team were better for making Diablo than the WoW team.

Because the "original" minds behind Diablo and Dialbo 2 made such classics as Hellgate: London & Mythos.

Just a little piece of fact for you: The Diablo 3 team is a completely separate team from World of Warcraft (which as a game borrowed a lot of ideas from Diablo anyways)

and so on, and so on... basically ALL the big decision makers for D3 were directly from WOW... and many of the others were influenced by WOW, and I have no doubt that they were specifically instructed to make it as such.

Diablo 1 and 2 were made by blizzard north and had nothing to do with WoW, but as zeto said; d3 has been made by a large portion of the WoW team.

Blizzard North STARTED work on Diablo 3, but since Blizzard North is pretty much disbanded that is no longer the case. The work that Blizzard North did seems to have been totally scrapped and re-done by the California based Blizzard studios.

They "started" work on it in 2003. Since it was not worked on my Erich Schaefer or even Tim Schaefer, i doubt any of it has been kept or even referenced by Blizzard.
