WHAT IS ANNIHILUS?
ANNIHILUS IS A CONSTANTLY EVOLVING PROJECT TO PUSH THIS AMAZING GAME TO ITS ABSOLUTE LIMITS. WE HAVE BROKEN MANY LIMITATIONS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL NOW. THIS IS UNLIKE ANY DIABLO II YOU HAVE PLAYED BEFORE, WHILE KEEPING IT THE SAME GAME YOU KNOW AND LOVE. WE ARE FULLY DEDICATED TO EXCEEDING EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS AND IMPROVING THIS PROJECT UNTIL IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST OUT THERE. WE WILL ALSO FOCUS BUILDING IT AROUND THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT, THE COMMUNITY. BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND EXPERIENCE THE NEW AND IMPROVED DIABLO II ALL OVER AGAIN TOGETHER! THANKS TO ALL OF THE OTHER MODDERS WHO'VE CREATED AWESOME MODS IN THE PAST TO GIVE US MOTIVATION AND IDEAS. THIS INCLUDES BROTHER LAZ, PAUL SIRAMY, KINGPIN, NECROLIS, NEFARIUS, TSURU, WHIST, AND MANY MORE!
