WoW Gates of Hell expansion...Follow

I have an idea. How about we let Blizzard come up with stuff to put in the game? Wouldn't that be interesting?

Why not wait until the game has actually been out first before thinking about an expansion?

Kerik, I apologize for the other posters, but we sort of have an unspoken rule around here of not trying to associate WoW with Diablo.

Thanks for the heads up, I really didn't know that. While I am obviously not new to the Allakhazam forums, I am new to the WoW boards and had no idea. I'll try to keep it in mind though.
When you look at the character classes of Diablo II, they really are VERY similar, both: in the fantasy realm they come from, and the way they pick certain skills/talents. You are certainly welcome to dislike the idea though. I won't be discussing the idea of Diablo or any form of merger of the two outside of this thread though.
Agreed, but not being a beta tester and not seeing most of the changes first hand, I can only comment on so much and/or recommend so much. The biggest recent insight I had to the current state of the game was in the new "5 second rule". I wish I could be more involved with the current state of the game, it's my greatest desire right now, but sadly not to be.

Right now all I have is time on my hands and not much else till I can either get into WoW beta, or wait until the game goes retail, whichever comes first. All that aside, how about NOT telling me what I should or shouldn't post about. If you don't like the idea or the topic presented in a post and have nothing constructive to add to it, kindly click the little "X" and the top right of the page thus closing the window. I do not begrudge anyone for making a post that is of interest to them, so please kindly allow me the same right you all expect to enjoy. If you don't agree with the idea for one reason or another, that's fine. That is your right and feel free to post why you like or dislike the idea. But, Please, PLEASE don't tell me what to do. Unless of course I have the right to also tell you what NOT to post about as well. This works both ways.

I'm not looking to argue with anyone here, but I don't believe anyone here has the right to tell me what to do and/or what I should write about. I've personally read a lot more posts than I've replied to, but chose not to reply to a lot of them as they didn't interest me, or I didn't have anything constructive to add to them. If everyone else took this stance, there would be a lot less flaming on these boards, and a lot more people getting along. But what fun would that be right? That's just sad behavior.

Thanks Red, it may or may not ever come to pass, but it definately has a lot of cool possibilities. I'm really fiending to play WoW so I just keep running different cool ideas in my head. Obviously, even with Blizzard, there has been at least the idea of the two coming together even if it never leaves the idea phase. ;) Thanks for the positive post.

Azuarc, I also meant to thank you. You had the first relatively constructive thing to say in this thread and I wanted to give a big nod to you too.

Not to be an *** but Tetris, Super Mario, Halo, Pikmin, Metroid, GTA, Blackthrone, any racing game, Dance Dance Revolution and the list goes on and on. Of course, not to be an *** ;)

I like it, sounds possible. I'd like to see how WoW compares to other MMORPGs I've played. I will say I've liked all the other games Blizzard has released so far.

How Diablo is similar to WoW:

- Frost spells does the exact same thing, which is slow movement.

- Both uses a form an instance system.

- Both are multiplayer RPGs though thats as far as I'll go on that statement (hides)

- Both use a "skill tree" made of 3 skills, each having various abilities and passives that help specialize your character in a role. (ie. Elemental Druid, Aura Paladin)

- Only similarity class wise that I can honestly state are paladins (to Paladins, duh) and sorceress (to mages).

- Various ablities and spells appear in both games, such as charge and bash.

- Both were made by Blizzard.

This will be the last time I will state how they are similar for fear for my life *points at JAEFo*. I will say that just because they are similar in some aspects doesn't mean they play the same. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Ah, I kept thinking whether or not to reply to this. But, I had to say this... here it all.. goes.. /e jumps up and down frantically!

Okay, here it is..

NO DIABLO AND WARCRAFT DO NOT MIX

Just my 3.5 cents. Thought I'd let you guys know that, a level 6 Lich would rock Baal, Diablo, and Mephisto all at the same time. (Except on Hell difficulty) >=]!

I see the day when people are discussing the upcoming release of the DoD, Dungeons of Diablo, MMORPG.

The only reason the games are similiar is because of your last point; they are both made by Blizzard.

Blizzard will never via storyline or via a new product blur their worlds of Warcraft, Diablo, or Starcraft. They might have a random event where players swap games and race to attain the highest lvl or whatever, but they will never have a server where a WoW character can jump into a D2 server or reverse (plus they did that event that was mentioned as a marketing ploy for D2 b.net players not as a future tease to a cross-over product like "Diablocraft" or "Dungeons of Diablo").

It might sound cool to be a tauren in full firebat gear taking on Bhaal but it wont ever happen.
