Though Blizzard has never made any official comment on the changes to the project during development, some unofficial info surfaced in 2010 and 2011. Screenshots (allegedly) from the Blizzard North version surfaced in February 2011, showing levels set in the High Heavens[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-first-screenshots-from-blizzard-norths-version-of-diablo-iii/]. A couple of months later, Max Schaefer revealed in a podcast interview[http://www.diablopodcast.com/the-diablo-podcast-episode-one/] that work was underway on Diablo III when he left the company in 2003, and that the early plans were for an MMORPG, with a setting similar to that of Diablo II (and not in the High Heavens, indicating that design came in after 2003).
