Blizzard (Diablo2) Interview

Auf Qt3 ist der zweite Teil des BlizzardInterviews (engl) online gegangen. Es geht eigentlich nur um D2.
Hier ein bisschen:

Quarter to Three: How's the Diablo 2 expansion coming along?

Bill Roper: Really well. It’s on schedule even. We have weekly, worldwide teleconference calls to update others on our progress with our projects. We just had one and we said, "Were in this weird place right now. We're on schedule." It got a good laugh.

As to the expansion, it’s neat. At Blizzard we all have played Diablo 2 so much so it would be understandable if people weren’t that enthused about playing it, but the expansion has people excited again. People are out in the hallways going, "Come look at this cool unique item I just got!" Just this past Monday we opened the expansion up for everyone at Blizzard to play for the first time. We ordered pizza and people played all evening. We even converted veteran Battle.net characters so people could play with their familiar characters. We’ve gotten some great feedback.
