Does it bother anyone else that in the cinematic trailer when it shows the moon, its obviously the Earth's moon?
In a way I feel like it's just a little minor detail I shouldn't even care about. But in other ways I feel it's significant enough to care. It just seems strange that they would firmly establish this world, and then have well, you know, the moon.
Lots of planets have moons. Infact some have several, and some have one, while others none at all.
I didn't notice it until you brought it up, but just because there is a single moon, I would not draw an immediate parallel to our's.
Moons have their uses. They affect the tides.

-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 that is a problem. May not be intentionally, but may have been.
If i am placing asteroid holes in a moon for a fantasy world I created, there is a high probably that I can put them in similar positions to the ones on our moon, even if that was not my intention. Not even in the slightest.

I guess that part of me that doesn't feel it's a big deal concedes that there are also chickens and cows in Sanctuary. But that latter part of me I mentioned concedes that it's not like I would expect them to make fictional domesticated animals.
Also, Sanctuary so obviously has Earth's trees, Earth's grass, Earth's animals, and humans to boot. What are the chances the same species would evolve on another planet?
Ahem. Sorry, I know what you're saying, but was compelled to play devil's advocate. All of that is even less likely than having a geographically similar moon.
Edit: Bah, I apologise for repeating the point. I wrote this post before post #4, but then stepped away for several minutes before submitting it.

That's part of the point I was making though. I don't mind there are human-esque creatures (well, let's be honestly, they're basically humans) or Earth farm animals. But I would think being located somewhere different in space on a different planet would justify an original moon. Or moons.
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
While a different moon would help differentiate Sanctuary from Earth, I don't think it has ever been that kind of fantasy. Azeroth is openly extraterrestrial, but it strikes me that Sanctuary is more the type of fantasy that uses an alternate Earth and assumes that one mythology or another is at least loosely true.

I do understand what you're saying. And I think the for most part, players would associate Earth with Sanctuary more than a WoW would associate Earth with Azeroth.

Yeah man it bothered me big time... I called in sick to work today after reading your post because I was so bothered by the moon showing a remarkable likeness to our own moon in the cinematic trailer... I was curled up in the fetal position all day sobbing like a baby sreaming WHY WHY WHY ???

Awesome post:thumbsup:
Do I sense the banhammer nearing?
Now more seriously, Sanctuary has always struck me as similar to Earth. The moon only adds to that and thus doesn't exactly bother me, more like makes me feel more "at home". Which is why I support a certain group. (Please refrain from making unnecessary comments about this)
Maybe sanctuary is going to turn out to be Earth! or since the moon is exactly the same just angled different... it will be near our moon... or something. :confused:

What's unfortunate I think is that I made it pretty clear in my first post that I wasn't that much bothered by it. It was more of a prompt to discuss why the Earth moon was in Sanctuary.
However, what really upsets me is I was trying to use my sarcasm detector to detect your lever of sarcasm and it was so off the charts that you broke it. You owe me a new sarcasm detector.
Oh, and uh, you also get banned for trolling and flaming.

Pretty hilarious looks exactly like the first image off of google.
