but its been damn slow lately.

For someone who's never played Diablo series before, do you guys know if this will be a standalone game that would introduce itself to those that haven't played it, or would previous ownership be required?

This will be a stand alone game, not an expansion. If that was what you were asking.

**Ambassador** · 10-18-2008

No, I guess I should have elaborated. I meant story-wise - would I have to have played the previous versions to understand wtf is going on? Do we know any of that info just yet?

I see. The storyline of Diablo 3 sets 20 years after Diablo 2. But there is no big story plot twists in Diablo series, so you should be fine playing Diablo 3. You can always look up the plots from the previous games.

**Ambassador** · 10-18-2008

That's a good point. I'm sure there's plenty of places to look. Now I'll just have to occupy my time until 2058 when the game comes out!

It isn't necessary at all. Blizzard go to great lengths to explain past events, especially those taking place in previous games

If you want to hear the events of Diablo 1 and 2 in a great amount of detail:
http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/lore/journal.xml

Diablo 1 and 2 summed up in point form:

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/timeline.xml

1264

The eastern lord Leoric comes to Tristram, declares himself its king, and converts the old, long-unused Horadric monastery to a Zakarum cathedral. His advisor, Archbishop Lazarus, secretly releases Diablo from imprisonment.
King Leoric descends into madness as he valiantly struggles to resist Diablo's possession.

1265

Increasingly deranged, King Leoric begins imprisoning all who question his authority and executing them as traitors. He declares war on the kingdom of Westmarch.
Diablo kidnaps and possesses King Leoric's only son, Prince Albrecht.
Lachdanan, captain of King Leoric's army, returns from the disastrous war with Westmarch and is forced to kill Leoric. The fallen monarch curses Lachdanan and his followers with his dying breath. Not long afterward, Lachdanan and the king's guards are attacked by Leoric, resurrected as the Skeleton King, as they attempt to bury him.
Archbishop Lazarus leads a group of villagers into the cathedral and abandons them to a bloodthirsty butcher demon. People begin fleeing Tristram in droves.
A lone hero arrives in Tristram and defeats the bloated, fetid butcher demon.
The hero kills Archbishop Lazarus and defeats the Skeleton King.
Diablo is defeated by the hero, who then tries to contain Diablo within himself. Despite the hero's noble intentions, his valiant spirit quickly succumbs to Diablo's corruption. He becomes the Dark Wanderer, leaving Tristram behind shortly before legions of foul demons attack and destroy the town and its inhabitants.

1266

A group of heroes begins a quest to defeat Diablo and his brothers. The heroes defeat the demoness Andariel and journey east, following the Wanderer.
The demon lord Duriel is defeated within the tomb of Tal Rasha; it is discovered that Baal is already free from his Soulstone.
The Dark Wanderer completes his transformation into Diablo; Mephisto is destroyed beneath the jungles of Kurast by the band of heroes.
Diablo is defeated. His Soulstone is destroyed, along with Mephisto's, upon the Hellforge.
Baal and his army march on Mount Arreat.
The heroes follow Baal to Mount Arreat for the final conflict between man and the last of the Prime Evils. Although the heroes defeat Baal, his demonic army continues to advance.
The angel Tyrael discovers that Baal has succeeded in corrupting the Worldstone housed within Mount Arreat. Realizing that the Worldstone cannot be restored, Tyrael reluctantly destroys it. The resulting explosion destroys Mount Arreat, ravages much of the countryside, and decimates Baal's army.

This is a great way to get the story, although not very important ion my opinion, the voice is quite relaxing so its worth a listen.

OMG I've been playing Diablo II and LOD and I had totally forgotten how damn addictive it was. So addictive. Can't wait for DIII!

USEast Non-Ladder, if you want a person to play with.

I've played since Day 1, so I'd rather not start a new account on a different realm.

Just started up playing D2 again... trying yet again for a Bowazon, because in almost every similar game I love the bow classes, but something lacks in the D2 Bowazon. Maybe it's how I'm playing her.

Otherwise... man, I love this game. I can't wait for D3. Still no release date, right?
