You might be wondering why we talk about this on a MMORPG Portal. Well Diablo I and Diablo II had also online play, trough battlezone.net, a service owned by Blizzard, where players could gather and play the game online with friends, so due to the quality and popularity of this game where most of the players played it online, we could take it like as an online rpg, but still remains to be seen if we add it in our list on our site.

Storyline
“It has been twenty years since the events of Diablo II. Of those who faced the Lords of Hatred, Terror, and Destruction in the battle over the fate of Sanctuary, there are few still living who can bear to remember the horrors that the Prime Evils wrought upon the world. And of those who did not witness the terrible events firsthand, most believe the stories to be little more than myth. But something evil is stirring once again in Tristram, and it may already have claimed its first victim: Deckard Cain. ”
Being old rpg players, we remember well Diablo I and Diablo II, for their great story, superb presentation, and fast paced, fun game play, and we can’t wait for Diablo 3, to play again for the story, and cooperative and online play, a mode where Blizzard might have bigger plans than we know at this moment.
