Am I the only one who logged into the Blizzard launcher on January 2nd (I allowed them the first, a Sunday, off) wondering where the 20th Anniversary event was?
I knew it wasn’t likely to be there, but I was keen to check just in case. Then the news came yesterday that the 20th Anniversary event update was in the 2.4.3 patch and was going live in Diablo III at midnight. We would at last be able to play the throw back to the original Diablo that was being put in the Diablo III.
Back when 640×480 was a desktop screen size
Of course, on a work/school night, midnight was too late for me… midnight was frankly too late for me on New Year’s Eve… so I will have to wait until after work today to check the event out.
I am actually looking forward to this enough that I even attempted to give the event a whirl while it was on the Diablo III Public Test Realm, only to find that trying load PTR build crashed for me every single time I launched it. So I have been waiting.
This is, of course, a risky nostalgia venture, attempting to recreate the old game within the new. It could be quite the event or it could be soundly rejected by fans. Until I get home though I will have had to content myself with Blizzard’s anniversary retrospective video.
