Everyone at Blizzard will be using words such as mistakes

What about Wilson, who was D2R Items flooded by thousands and thousands of angry responses following the launch of Diablo. "Josh worked very closely along with Jay," says Mayberry. "I've had contact with Jay since, well, I've helped bring Jay to Blizzard and I've been with him for more than 20 years. I'm sure the fans would like to create a rivalry somehow between them. There's none whatsoever at all."

Everyone at Blizzard will be using words such as mistakes, errors, or regret in the context of Diablo however the message is obvious to me The team has been quick to praise how great things have changed, and has not really been seen to mourn for what's been lost.

"I realize that some of you are disappointed that we did not fulfill our promise to release Diablo 'when it's finished"" posted Wilson on Blizzard's forums when Wilson announced his decision to walk out of Diablo in the first week of 2013.

"While the truth is that we're far from perfect we try at making the very best choices we can with the data and knowledge we've at the moment. It doesn't mean that we will always make the right decisions, but if we made an error, I'm sure we've done our best to correct it."

Only time will tell if Reaper of Souls will be received by the 280.000 people who love to sing in a manner similar to what the original Diablo wasn't. "It's difficult to pinpoint where ideas originated and where they didn't," states Mayberry. "I believe Jay was faced with the more difficult task of getting Diablo out, and that affected Jay and I'm sure Josh is the opposite. Josh the challenge is cheap diablo 2 resurrected items that he's arrived this time and assisted in putting the final layer on. I think they've done an excellent job."
