Haha, that's true. Blizzard is stinking rich because of WoW; they make millions a day, I believe. They really need to have their products pirated.

Yeah you are absoultely right.To expand on this chain of thought, Mephisto is the name for the devil in Goethe's "Faust" so maybe that makes him German, lol. Baal might be derived from the Ugaritic god Ba'al - at least I think its very likely. Ba'al overthrew the old gods to become king of the gods. I don't know what citizenship we should grant him? - maybe Syrian since that's were the stone tablets describing him were discovered...

well... I´m only guessing and yours is as good as mine - I just thought it would make some good story line that the three brothers - the three prime evils - are united in one flesh. In D1 we went in to defeat diablo, only to see him walk out of the dungeon in D2 to release the other two. Then we went after them all and defeated them one by one. Now they are united and stronger than ever and we have to face all 3 together. That's how I would have writ it if I were the story writer.
