Flux interviews David Craddock, author of a new book about Blizzard North. The book contains new info from dozens of ex-Blizzard employees about their years of work on Diablo 1, 2, and 3, up until the studio was shut down in 2005.
I love the part where Blizzard North heads threatened with resignation if they didn't get more control and then their resignations were accepted, hahaha!
@Diablo3inc Dungeon Runners shows how Diablo 3 could be a typical MMO. It has a shared town (64+ people) and instanced dungeons. Diablo 3 isn't too far from that. D3 is technically an MMO in that it will be a Massive number of Multiple players (4 per instance) playing Online (forced online) simultaneously. It has what we'd consider an MMO Auction house, it just lacks a shared town (YAY less spam). Many FPS's and Facebook apps are technically MMO's, just not what we typically think of as MMOs.
Great interview Flux. I really enjoy your podcast!
Sad to see what happened to Blizzard North.
