Darkstone for PSX. 26 July 1999. Diablo 2 was released a year later. June 29, 2000. Similar interface, inventory, classes, weapon improvement/enchantment, similar skill tree, and randomly generated maps. I'm willing to bet someone from Blizzard turned on their original team. Either that or it just happened that multiple people were developing similar games. It definitely wasn't copied from WoW. That was released November 23rd 2004.
