Brief characteristic:
Imperium Diablo, launched in 2002 by Przemo, is one of the biggest Diablo fansites dedicated to the polish community. The portal is abundant in the information about all games from the series - important data, trivia, Easter Eggs and much more. There is also a possibility to share your toughts with other players on the forum.
Detailed history and activity of each year:
Year 2001.
On 12th of August I started working and creating the Website.
Year 2002.
On 17th of October the Website started its operation. The first address of the Empire was diablo2.hg.pl, and the website was officially called “Diablo 2 Empire” [Polish name: Imperium Diablo 2]. It opened in separate pop-up window and was quite unusual in appearance.
Year 2003.
The existing sections were developed. The website gained more and more renown amongst Diablo 2 fans. The number of good strategies for Diablo 2 increased greatly, as well as other texts received from our guests, enriching our works sections.
Year 2004.
The Empire became a part of o vortal about fantasy games called the Phoenix. The address changed to imperiumd2.phx.pl. The website abandoned pop-up mode and opened in normal window of a browser, having much more new sections. The layout remained unchanged.
Year 2005.
The website had its first editor - $liwa. Then, in the same year, other people joined the editors team – Bverrit and Noktis. On 11th of April we started a discussion forum, which has been active till today. We started a cooperation with Spot – Diablo 2 mods specialist, he also established the Polish Diablo 2 Modding Centre on our forum. We also started to work with the Polish Clan League (largest pvp league in Poland) and its head Ajantis, and started as well a partnership with D2 game servers – DoT Realm and Angrenost Realm (the administrator of the first one, Naki, became our IT specialist, the administrator of AR, Mr. Mag, supported us also in IT issues). We established a Diablo 2 Clan – Warriors of the Empire (along with a 24-hour-a-day Battle.net channel “op wote”). There was a browser game, working as a part of the Website, called the Empire MMORPG. Unfortunately, the clan and the game does not exist any longer. The site about a Diablo 1 mod - Awake – became a part of our Website. We “assimilated” another Phx Diablo 2 website – Diablo 2 Tavern [Polish name: Tawerna Diablo 2]. In September the Diablo Empire changed its layout for the first time. New sections (among others, the one about Diablo1) and functions (ex. the strategy assessment) appeared, also, the name (“Diablo Empire”, without the number “2”) and the address (to diablo.phx.pl) changed.
Year 2006.
We were sponsors of the 4th and 5th editions of polish clan league (rewards worth about 1500 PLN). We organized also our own contest with rewards – Phoenix Diablo Tour. We started cooperation with another Diablo 2 mods’ creators, which effected in such mods as WDA or Invisible Mod. We also started to provide video-relations from Diablo 2 tournaments. We had a flourish of works from our guests – every week we could choose at least couple of materials oh highest standards and place them in the news section.
