Well, Adon is kinda confused about who did what. The guys who did Guild Wars were the one behind battle.net mostly, with a hand in Starcraft and Diablo.
But yeah, can't wait for D3 to be released and be a big hit. Some guys can't stop trolling and being doomsayers... or they just can't think for themself and take a look at what the game provide ^^;
Actually all 3 of the members were senior programmers.
"Mike O'Brien is one of the three co-founders and current president of ArenaNet and the leader of the Design and Content teams for Guild Wars.[1]Previously, he worked as a company director and a lead programmer at Blizzard Entertainment where he developed the 3D rendering engine of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and led the development of Battle.net. He also worked on Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, Diablo and StarCraft, where he, among other things, designed and created the MPQ archives used in all Blizzard games after Diablo"
"Patrick Wyatt is a game programmer and one of the three co-founders of ArenaNet.[1] He is the leader of the Network and Technology teams and a programmer for Guild Wars. Before the founding of ArenaNet, he was working in Blizzard Entertainment where he was the Vice President of Research and Development and a senior programmer. Wyatt was the leader of Battle.net gaming network's programming and a major contributor on the multiplayer parts of Blizzard's popular games including StarCraft, Diablo and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness.[1] Having been in Blizzard for more than eight years, his work also includes earlier Blizzard games like Lost Vikings and Rock N' Roll Racing."
- This guy worked mostly on the battle.net yes, are you trying to imply that Bnet didn't have an impact on Diablo and that Jay Wilson doesn't do anything with Bnet?
"Jeff Strain is a game programmer and one of the three founders of ArenaNet. He served ArenaNet and NCsoft as the leader of the Art and Production teams and President of Product Development respectively. He was previously the lead programmer of Blizzard'sMMORPGWorld of Warcraft; he also created the StarCraft campaign editor and worked on Diablo and Warcraft III. He is credited as a programmer and executive producer for Guild Wars."
- Looks like he did a little more then just Bnet....
Now here is Jays resume:
1998 - King's Quest: Mask of Eternity - Quality Assurance
1998 - Blood II: The Chosen - Game Concept and Lead Designer
2003 - Impossible Creatures - Lead Designer and Story
2003 - Homeworld 2 - Additional Design Support
2004 - Warhammer 40k Dawn of War - Design and Story
2007 - Company of Heroes - Senior Designer
A decent cast of games, nothing that sticks out as great however. I know company of heroes is loved and played and so is Warhammer but they pale to SC I feel. My point being is he doesn't have any Blizzard calibur games under his belt, where as those 3 above have Diablo, SC, WC, and GW.
