World of Warcraft Classic launch in the context of your experience with the game

Although Brack admits the messaging could have been clearer he still has faith in Diablo: Immortal as a game and is confident that it is a true representation of Blizzard's values, as they always have been and always will be. Beyond that, he is confident that the Blizzard of today is a reflection of its spirit from the developer that created Warcraft, Diablo, D2R Items, and the many other beloved games from its stable.

As we approach the end of Diablo League season and BlizzCon 2019. Diablo League season as well as BlizzCon 2019. We spoke with Brack about the reaction for Diablo: Immortal, the preservation of the company's identity as well as his hopes for Blizzard.

Was it like watching World of Warcraft Classic launch in the context of your experience with the game as well as the company. It must be a little strange to see the halcyon times of Diablo brought to life again.

J. Allen Brack: Yeah. I remember that it was nearly two years ago, at BlizzCon that I made the announcement that we were going to bring back Diablo Classic. It was something the players had been asking for since a long time.

We stated that we weren't going to do it. And , as we moved through the first half of 2017. we were able to figure out how we were going to achieve this. Therefore, announcing the plan to BlizzCon was honestly one of my personal highlights. It was truly unexpected. It was something was not something that anyone thought we could ever do because of the way we spoke about it.

Then to come close to the beginning, which has been almost two years since the event and just to observe the massive amount of excitement that has been generated, the overwhelming amount of passion, and the sheer number of people returning for the second time, people who played it in the past but also people who'd never been able to experience what the early days were truly like ... It's been a great experience, but it's inadequate--it's just an incredible experience and extremely pleasing to see the enthusiasm of the fans , and to watch the community unite as d2r items for sale did. It's been a great career experience, for sure.
