Adjustment: The part about ARPG and MMO concerned the first version Diablo 3rather than additions.
The author had a document in his hands that described new mechanics, classes, locations and elements of the story. However, fresh content was never put into production. Brevik added that, according to his recollections, a new class was supposed to appear in the expansion – the cleric.
The developer said that he worked on the material for 6-12 months before leaving Blizzard North. All this happened even before the release of patch 1.10, and then the team was working on their version Diablo 3 (later restarted it Blizzard Entertainment) and another unannounced project.
The author added that in the process of work, the team used some of the project’s developments to Marvel heroes – because originally their version of Diablo 3 was a mixture of ARPG and MMO. The second was about the number of concurrent players, not the style format Wow…

Over time, new rooms for the guild and opportunities for working with the clan would open up. However, in the end, all ideas were abandoned in favor of the new Diablo 3.
