And what would differentiate it from a mod? That's the thing that's bugging me :\

Mods are technically modifications. Expansions add on to the game. The two are very closely related when used today, I suppose.

Quote from "Shatterer" »

So it's an expansion because they got money for it?

I don't get what you're asking, :|.

I can make a D1 expansion if I want. It won't be authorized. But I can call it an expo.

Quote from "Shatterer" »

So it was an expansion because it was authorized by Blizzard? Makes sense, somehow.

Not entirely true. It was an official expansion because it was authorized by Blizzard, :P. There's another somewhat popular expansion called Unearthed Arsenal, which came later and was not authorized.

Thanks for the clear up. I knew that Vivendi owned both. I thought Vivendi authorized Sierra to make the game and Blizzard did not give the permission for it.

Yar, they sure did~

Quote from "HungryHippo7" »

But it was made by Sierra and not Blizzard.

That's correct... However, see below:

Quote from "Hans" »

As far as I know Blizzard did not authorize it.

That's the only reason it was so popular, it was the only authorized expansion pack. Back in the day, Vivendi Universal Interactive used to own Blizzard and Sierra. Sierra created Hellfire and Blizzard authorized it. It was the first and last time Blizzard worked with Sierra on a game, and allowed any other company to create an authorized expansion to the game because of how bad it was, :P.

Well, not that it was bad, but it contained bugs and was missing a lot of features that were supposed to be implemented, but did not make the release date.

Anyway, if you still don't believe me, check out the CD case. Top-left corner says, "The only authorized DIABLO Expansion Pack". That was the clearest pic I could find on google. I'll upload a pic of my CD if you need more proof, :P.

Hellfire was a non authorized expansion of Diablo 1.

On the contrary, Hellfire was the only authorized expansion for D1.

Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »

When it comes down to it, Hellfire is no more canon than fan fiction. In fact, in some cases I'd probably call the latter more in tune with what is official.

But you've included the books into the Lore page? :P.

Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »

Yes, but I neither have images nor pages for them atm. I guess I can out up the names.

Likewise we have close to no lore on Hellfire either, although that is, when created, going to belong to the D1 section, not the Lore section.

That's not a problem. Though how come the D1 section instead of the Lore section? It's HellFire lore.

Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »

Not as a class, since it isn't a class. Don't know where else to put it though.

Truth. Maybe characters or something?

New pages look awesome as well, ;).

Should we include the Barbarian, Bard, and Monk in D1? I'm thinking we should... We should also include HellFire lore, imo. Sure it's not canon or whatever, but it's still an official expansion pack. We should support it.

... And... I'd like to have the Archivist somewhere on the D3 page also. Should we add him in the classes? Or nah?

Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »

That still leaves us with the problem of getting an image for all mods collectively.


Mhm. Except for Leah and Can there's not a whole lot to put there right now though

Truth, but in time we'll get more characters, :P.

Quote from "PhrozenDragon" »

Yup. Haven't had the time to finish them yet though.

No worries, I was just asking for clarification, ^_^.

Pages look amazing, Kris, :). Just one thing: D3 section to the Lore page maybe?

What other main pages are we doing? Diablo I, Diablo III, and Media?
