In the past many years, players have been discussing the topic is "Diablo" series eventually evolved into a large multiplayer online game (massively multiplayer on-line, that is, the player commonly known as the net). If you want to be able to engage with a lot of players on the same battlefield with hordes of demons in the future, you can open the hole. The Addiction Technology (Kotaku) site reports to Kevin Martens, chief content designer of Diablo 3, that an MMO version of Diablo is not planned.

Kevin Martens: It was a very interesting idea when we discussed it, but I think the Diablo has its own unique charm. Thousands of people working together on the same server do not add to this fascination. We like this small, more focused four-person team-style group model. Some people ask, "Why not five?" "I mean, we can, but at the beginning of the game design was based on a four-person team model." So based on the experience we've learned about how to enjoy the game of Diablo, it doesn't work.

We are satisfied with the status of the game and understand that no designer is completely satisfied with the game. We like the direction we choose. It is the top priority. Four of people could have done exactly the same thing as a thousand-man online MMO. The player is the real God of destruction.

Even if we are still stuck in the action role-playing game with random elements, you still have a lot to do. The future is beautiful. I don't think all games have to be branded with Diablo. A number of similar games were born after Diablo 2, but players were happy to try something else. When Diablo 3 appeared, the environment was different and very similar.

In fact, after experiencing the World of Warcraft, I believe many players, including me, would love to see Blizzard make an MMO with Diablo or StarCraft, but after all these years the same kind of MMO makes Blizzard's choice of the Diablo series even better. You can also think that the launch of the Diablo 3 auction house and the PC version of the mandatory online is an experiment to see how the community sees the MMO category function. And we all know how much convenience and inconvenience these features have brought to us.
