I am new to this forum and have been watching it and various other Diablo III sites for a while now. I have decided to make my entry now.
I have been thinking over the last couple of hours, and I have decided that i would create a "history" of what Diablo III has become so far from its initial rumors and hopes to all the controversy on the "art aspect" of the game. This will be an ongoing project which means that every time an update or something in the media rises about the game i will add it to this "history". I plan to continue this until the final release of the game, and then finally publish it as a PDF file (hopefully being quite a large amount of info at that stage)
In this history i plan to have links to all aspects including:
-links to threads
-links to interviews with media
-links to info on the game (from the site)
-and much more
This is a very initial idea, hopefully it works, I will start to brainstorm after I finish writing this post and I will spend today writing up the process so far up to todays date and post it in this thread
What I will include At the moment:
-all the signs that Diablo III was coming (Domain being bought, job ads, the "teaser" image, the hydra project)
-WWI release of the game
-Info on the game so far and "What we know"
-Interviews after the games release
- Controversy and big news ( petition of art work direction)
If anyone has any more i could potentially add it would be helpful. Also could people direct me to the signs that Diablo III was coming (links and signs). This area is a bit sketchy.
Thankyou, i look forward to feedback and writing this work.
This is my brainstorming, I've come up with these websites. I will use what are in these websites to create a summed up version of events.
If anyone else has any links they want me to use feel free to post. I split this into four catagories
