While the second is subject to personal opinions, the first is not. Numbers don't lie. Between the Warcraft RTS series, Starcraft RTS series, Diablo and World of Warcraft - Blizzard has been a dominant force all over the gaming scene.

Even DoTA has a bigger funbase/playerbase than entire companies would dream/envy of having - right now.

Wow was fun for a little while, then they dumbed it down so every 8 year old could understand it, and Pandas......really? I know they were in Warcraft 3, but really? With all the lore out there for that game, and Mists Of Pandora is what they pick? So so happy to be coming back to Classic EQ, a Real MMO.

I want my grim dark, bossfarming, hammerdin, smitepally torch soloing, cutthroat mentality diablo 2 back.
They have a weapon in d3 called " stab stab " XD LOL SO RANDOM XDDDD.
The biggest "joke" weapon in diablo 2 was Wirts leg, the fucking prosthetic leg of a dead child.

blizzard, you have changed.

Actually DotA's (paying/registered/active) fanbase is low compared to what Riot/League of Legends has.

I'm afraid your statement is rooted in ignorance, sir.

WoW success is similiar to McDonalds success. They both deliver a fast, convenient and cheap product which is fantastic for the instant satisfaction crowd. A sports analogy would be WoW = mini golf, EQ = real golf. I doubt any Blizzard game will deviate from that course.

Yeah, Cow Level sure was dark. Trading statues around was super dark. At no point in time were any of the NPCs humorous at all.

Diablo (any Blizzard game, really) has always had humor sprinkled in.

Even Diablo 1 was chock full of humor - an entire quest revolved around demons stealing a tavern sign because they thought it was magical. You meet a cowardly goat-man in a dungeon who is there solely for comic relief.

Feel the grim darkness!

Or maybe you mean really old-school Blizzard, like back in the Lost Vikings days. No part of that game was comedic, you're right.

I always come back to EQ whether it was live or P99 for about the past year. Nothing satisfies my MMO hunger like EQ does. No game is made like EQ was. I am seriously debating not even playing D3. One of my good friends has been a hardcore Diablo player for years and years and he's not buying the game. That means I probably won't buy it because he would know better than me whats up with Diablo. They are making it too much like WoW and not enough like D2. Either way. P99 will be where I am for a while and the only game I even am thinking remotely about is Guild Wars 2 which we will have to see how well that does. I'm looking forward to the World versus World 3 sided pvp matches honestly.

Until then I'll be leveling my Cleric here and into eternity.
