If the moon exists apparently, what does that say about the world itself, that it's flat or that there must be another continent? Why would all the angels and demons not unify the two continents? I don't quite know what to make of this.
"Incognito from Hellsing" syndrome. Incognito in the anime series of Hellsing is what happens when a show full of bad ass characters runs out of bad asses.
This direct coping of the moon is what happened when the Diablo series ran out of bad ass stuff.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Well it could be a extremely small planet compared to Earth... or something... I dunno lol.
Looking at the world map it would seem like there is another continent, but who knows.
dude, this is the diablo universe. In other words, this is our planet, but in another dimension, where things are slightly a bit different, and more scary
I guess this is the best explanation .)
But yeah kinda slack from them to just copy paste our moon
I see it as highly unlikely that complex plants and humanoids would appear on a pangea stage world. Though the world was created by demons and angels so I dunno.

The fanfic I'm writing assumes the scale of everything you see on that new Sanctuary map is pretty large. Mountain ranges are maybe...at least 12 miles wide? Of course I don't know what the average width of a mountain range is. Here, the Wasatch Front it about 240 miles long, but I don't know really what the average width of it is in miles.
Well MT Arreat on the D2 map was just one little mountain bump, so... I'm guessing the land mass is probably around the size of all North America or so.
Rather unfortunate oversight, but considering the game play viewpoint, it should not break immersion a great deal. That said...

Wow... they did kind of take the moon DIRECTLY from google and throw it in there just rotated.
Our moon rotated:
Diablo moon:
Pretty hilarious looks exactly like the first image off of google.
There appears to be something amiss o friends, since the above image does not perfectly match the ones purportedly from Google images, and certainly not the first image. In fact, even if it did, considering the unchanging orientation of our beloved Moon, and the ease at which one is able to take a snapshot of it once a month..... why that proves our Blizzard to be... patient. Yes.
I am astounded at the accusation of piracy fellow friends! Blizzard does not need to prove itself, but if they are to be cleared of any uncertainty, a certain unbiased individual will need to inspect the material first hand, and in its entirety...
*gasp* the same dirt...it's a conspiracy! I think it'd be freakin awesome of this was on earth. And real except for the fact that i normally die like at least four times before I can get to lvl 80. If diablo unleashes his minions, expect to see me charging through underground sewer systems and subways dual-weilding hatchets. Or cowering in the corner of my bomb shelter.
I've kind of always thought of Sanctuary as another story telling of Earth's history. So doesn't really bother me.
Exactly, it never gives any examples of where Sanctuary is in the universe, for all we know this is a different religion on the earth, or maybe the continent and islands of Sanctuary were once a part of Earth in that the plates are constantly moving and this may have been before Pangia or after.
Maybe Sanctuary is what the Earth was called during the time of Noah and Enoch and all of them. Often times with religions, there is a time described when humans had direct contact to angels, demons and things like this.
The history of Sanctuary is vague enough that it can be described as another history of Earth, or as one pointed out about the diablo universe it could be a history of earth from a parallel dimension. :thumbsup:

It gives you that feel, like you're fighting to save the world, a corrupted earth.
And it helps make the game alot more engaging since ypu can already relate to it alot.

they breathe air - so do we. they drink water, have cows, chickens, scorpions. THEY TALK ENGLISH!
COME ON!!!!?>????
Is there the man on the moon's face? The US flag planted on it? Is it made of cheese and being consumed by numerous little Ritz cracker couples?
All in all, I don't think it would bother me, even though the Diablo world is obviously not supposed to be Earth.
EDIT: Just saw Daemaro's post and realize it does in fact resemble our moon.

We do only see one side of the moon so any picture you take is gonna look just like any other picture taken of it.
I wonder if they have the same SUN!
Over confidence is the rot.
