What a ridiculous article. It's worse than amateur, infact I'd not be surprised if the "rumour" infact began with this hopeless article.

It's true that many of the Torchlight staff worked on diablo 3 in its early stages, and it goes without saying that the best elements of Torchlight will exist in Diablo III (for example, the "followers" in D3 will almost certainly work in a similar way to the Torchlight pet), but this was never any kind of secret that the remaining D3 team were oblivious to.

Torchlight has rushed the game out because it needs the early revenue to put out physical copies of the game and to make the MMO possible, and to make sure they don't have to compete with D3.

D3 was already going to be in the works for at least another year, and they're not going to start again just because of torchlight.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Because you're talking about the game that the ads are advertising (that the original topic was talking about). Oh ... wait ....

Also, Archie, it's completely unfair to call this game a copy of Diablo 3. This development team had a game already created before Flagship got closed down - called Mythos - that was outstanding. They made Torchlight in 11 months with a 30 man team and are going to make an MMO based off it (single player was just there to introduce people to the world).

First and foremost - Torchlight is an outstanding game and anyone who hasn't bought it yet needs to go out and buy it! As stated before the devs of this game are the devs from Diablo II, and the composer is from the Diablo series too (music is outstanding).

However, it's a complete joke to have a big ass advertisement take up the entire damn background of the main page. This is exactly the bullcrap that makes people hate the new changes and be wary of the new administration. This is a Diablo fansite and now we have some big ass advertisement for a competing game (even if it is awesome) taking up the whole background. You can cry site costs all you want, but the fact remians this site was here a LONG time before huge ass ads for other games took over the background. So what are you going to tell me next, that the past admins farted out fairy dust to pay for the site costs?

Someone's analogy of a large corporation taking over a small company is perfect.

Go to the front page.

Big ass advertisement for Torchlight.

Sweet call on having a Torchlight advertisement take up the whole background of the site. That's a great ass move right there! Outstanding!

Please tell me there's not an ADVERTISEMENT FOR ANOTHER GAME ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE SITE.

Lol - hey, seriously, there was a huge spider in my bathroom last night. It had a little bitty body bit its legs were like 2" long when he was walking (legs not straightened out.) I am pretty sure I smushed it, but he could have escaped. I still have the creeps, my shirt feels like it is crawling.lol

My skin is gonna be raw by the time I get off work. I keep scratching at those damn phantom spiders.

A "Daddy Longleg"? They're harmless, lol. They can't even bite you.

Still feels like this site is getting taken over by a giant corporation.

That's actually a really good analogy. I was wondering what I could compare it to, and that's perfect. Community fan site overtaken by a Network that covers several games; complete with the generic cookie-cutter skin that suits their other game sites.

All we now is some South Park referencing:



Also, goodbye Silver.

Doppelganger was an ass clown.

Is Doppelganger still around? If not ... that's fantastic.

Hmm ... good explanation, Doran. Makes me feel a bit better about it.

I miss mockery.The list said he was "removed". I don't think it was voluntary.

Yes, but I'm also assuming it was him that gave (probably sold?) the site to Curse. Don't quote me on that or anything but I'm just inferring that from the post. If he hadn't done that he never would've gotten removed and everything would've stayed the same. That's what I meant, I don't get why he handed it over or whatever to them in the first place. Now we have a cookie cutter design that falls in with their other sites and upper level leadership that wasn't even around during the sites creation or high time in activity. It's not really an insult to the new owners because I'm sure they're all good people, but it's just weird, different, and not "homely" like it was. (and in case anyone's wondering based on my join date, I had a different account on here that was registered in 06)

I've never see so many people whining over something so stupid.
Oh no, you're going to have a matchmaking system! Woe is the computer gaming world.

Reading that reminded me why I don't come here anymore, no personal offense to anyone. Too different. And idk wtf mockery was thinking handing the site over to someone else.

To anyone who thinks this site is real: KYS. :confused:

Haha, jk. But seriously. It says "SONY PICTURES" at the bottom. It's just a viral marketing campaign. C'mon people.
