Yes, we are doing our best to stick to the Diablo Theme as much as possible, down to the random item generator.
There are still going to be some aspects that is Everquest, like for instance -- zones, item looks, and well, the game its self. Pretty much everything we CAN change, we are changing, and as Jahar said every time we make or do something we find a way to improve it some of the things we've improved on have been posted in this forum already;
Getting rid of Tanks and Healers making everyone able to tank (Taunt was removed, entirely) and a way to heal themselves aside from potions.
Balancing spells so it's not like Everquest.
As well as our own touches;
Allowing you to play through as Chaos killing the Order (playing on the same side as Diablo to break it down better for you).
While there is much, much more that we've done with it, I cannot let any of it off, all I can say is I hope by July we will be ready for Alpha the glory thing about changing it just to go to first "named" boss is; most of the rest of Act 1 is done (All of the "named" mobs are placed, all of their scripts are done, zones are almost completed, items are done, as well.) so once Alpha gets tested and fixed completely, beta will be literally right around the corner, my assumptions is (Jahar and I haven't talked about it), beta will be Act 1, and then we'll make it a LIVE version in which all 4 acts, as well as the Chaos side of things will be done so you can play through on both sides.
Another thing we haven't *REALLY* discussed is character wipes after Alpha and Beta, we might throw up a vote for it to see if we will. If we do, however those whom tested the server will get a title or something to show people they were part of the Alpha testing -- there will be a few things left out of Alpha (Set gear primarily). As we haven't figured out the scaling//buff thing that is associated with the said set gear.
If anyone has any questions pretaining to the server, please post here, or on our forums located on our Website
(If you don't know it by now, this entire wording is our website. =P.) and we will get back to you.
Thanks again for your guys support!
