The truth about old Blizzard Employees.

[Silent_killers]

Many of you would say that the old creators of Diablo and Diablo II are now making Guild Wars...Actually, they have a company called Flagship Studios and they have nothing to do with Guild Wars.

[Aemaeth]

They aren't they work for flagship, so they wouldn't make a game for their old company which is now a rival company

[ducky01]

thats very interesting i always wanted to know

[Hamel]

So these people made diablo then handed the company over to someone else? im pretty confused lol >_<

[Aemaeth]

No, they left after the 1.10 patch at least i think to work for flagship, because blizzard sucks major backside.

[Hamel]

Do you know if flagship is gonna be good or what type of game it is or anything?

[nkorterrorist89]

What does guildwars have to do with anything then? All i know is i'm getting it, seeing that there's no fee. And it must be related somehow, because of all the rumors.

[Aemaeth]

Flagship is the company kemwing, guild wars is they game that they are making.

Question:
Who is ArenaNet?

Answer:
ArenaNet is a wholly owned subsidiary of NCsoft Corporation, and was founded in March 2000 by key members of the creative teams behind Blizzard’s game series Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo, as well as the Battle.net gaming network. You can get a lot of good information about the company at our website: http://www.arena.net.

and this is taken from www.arena.net , to prove that they are making the game

About Guild Wars

As you may have learned from reading other areas of this website, our first title will be called Guild Wars. You can find a plethora of information, screenshots, wallpapers, and a great deal more over on our gamesite with the easily-remembered URL: www.guildwars.com.

thanks for clearing that up man

[Skippy]

So there is gonna be a Diablo 3 someday? Thought they gave up on diablo and all into WOW where they can charge to play online

[Silent_killers]

So it appears that some old Blizzard employees that quit are making Guild wars, and some other ones that quit are just starting a game.

[SpoonMan999]

Many ex Blizzard, Black Isle, and EA employees have started a new company called Obsidian Entertainment. I believe one of Blizzard's founders has signed up with them. Obsidian developed Star Wars: KoTOR 2. One of their current projects is Neverwinter Nights 2, in case you didn't notice they're big Bioware fans.

[Silent_killers]

Ah, thats awsome. I'm looking forward to play Neverwinter Nights 2.

[SpoonMan999]

I still play the original alot. Great game, though the campaign kinda sucked, for online play. Has probably the best RP community I've ever played with.
