Diablo III Originally Planned To Be An MMO - Max Shaefer Hints At Early Blizzard Design


Max Shaefer from Runic Games explained that Diablo III was being designed to be like an MMO during his time back in Blizzard North(the team that made Diablo and Diablo II). He said “We were going the MMO route. We wanted to support many more players in the game. When I left the company in 2003 the project was still very early on; far from the point where we could have revealed anything about it publicly, since so much would still have changed”. Max obviously now has formed Runic Games and are hard at work finishing Torchlight II which is not going to be an MMO(although it will support 4 player coop). They were supposed to be working on a Torchlight MMO but that has been put on hold temporarily(they aren’t a huge team). Torchlight II is due out on July and they recently put up info about some of the monsters you’ll find in Torchlight II.
