BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Painful D2 Emails: Part #06

Painful D2 Emails: Part #06


This one came in to my D2 email tonight, and while it's not written on a 2nd grade level, and it doesn't confuse us (the staff of diabloii.net) with Blizzard, as so many emails do, it still completely perplexed me. Here's the full text, minus his name:
Hi guys I am not sure if you guys notice this already, but FLAGSHIP, a gaming company is created by former Blizzard North high members. I found that to be very interesting as they probably provided the muscles for the Diablo franchises.
Okay, he's completely correct in content, and it's nice that he took the time to tip us off about this, but um... what? We've posted about Flagship Studios at least a dozen times on the D2 site, starting more than 2 years ago when they first left Blizzard North to form the company. I can overlook that though; maybe the emailer forgot, or hasn't been reading the news until recently. Whatever. Look at the Diabloii.net main page now though! The second news item is about a new Bill Roper interview, and the fifth item is about a David Brevik interview. Both news items say the guys are ex-Blizzard and are now with Flagship, both have links to Flagship, both mention that they talk about D2 in the Flagship interviews (which is why I linked to them from the D2 site), etc.

So how does this guy email us, using the "submit news" link right on the D2 site main page, without seeing that there are two news items about Flagship right on top of the page? Is it a joke? Does his browser have a cache problem that's kept it from refreshing the news page since November? I am so confused right now.

I would assume it's a joke. However, if this person has been to diabloii.net, chances are they play on battle.net. Now, I play strictly single player(save for some local games with my dad and sister) because of the type of people online nowadays.

I believe I read in a decahedron or something that you also no longer play battle.net. I assume you have though. Knowing the type of people that play, would it surprise you in the least if that was a sincere email?

Not me.
