This Thursday will be the second anniversary for Diablo III and the developers are taking to Twitch to celebrate. Alongside the dev team a few members of the community have been selected to join them in Sanctuary and chat about the game. Archon the Wizard and myself are honored to be among those chosen to play alongside the devs and it’s looking to be an awesome night, but I’ll need your help!

I’ll be streaming alongside Brian Kindergan (Lead Writer) and Leonard Boyarsky (Senior World Designer) to discuss the lore and story of Diablo III and I’m looking for community input on questions that you’d like to get answered. If there’s anything you’ve been wanting to know more about, some minor plot point explained, or just what exactly the name of that drunk guy in the bar is, now is your chance! Let me know what your questions are in the comments below or send me an email at Neinball@blizzpro.com

Diablo III is about to ding Level 2. To commemorate this delightfully diabolical occasion, we’re throwing a little birthday bash over on Twitch—and you’re invited!

On May 15 from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. PDT, I’ll be streaming Reaper of Souls™ direct from Blizzard HQ over at Twitch.tv/Diablo. Throughout the day, I’ll be joined by different developers and players to chat about the game, play the game, address some popular community topics, and answer questions live from viewers like you. If you’ve got some free time this Thursday, we encourage you come hang out, relax, and watch us wreck face (or failboat) our way through Westmarch and beyond.
