He released his first mod, () under the name 'Myokai', and was in hindsight regretting publishing his first mod, as he felt it was so bad, looking back. His first real set of followers he got under his own name was from making the Demon Trip mods. They were the first mods to replace character animations and the first mods to feature new skill trees. These mods were in Laz's own opinion sloppily coded, but as time passed and he felt he grew mentally he wanted to do better. The video here is an example of Barbarian gameplay in Median. Screenshot from Median XL In 2003, when Patch 1.10 was still in beta, he worked for two months full-time to create the mod called Median. It had a skill system similar to, where skill books were used to learn new skills. Unfortunately, a massive bug appeared. Somewhere in, characters got corrupted, and he could not find the cause, thus scrapping the mod. In early 2005, development on Median 2 started, using the files from the first Median as a base. The development took about two or three weeks (spread over a long time) and became a hit among fans. After a couple of months, Laz wanted to fix some issues with Median 2 but was unable to because the fixes would corrupt existing characters. He took the opportunity to add new content and replace some of the existing unbalanced content, creating 'Median 2 Special Edition', released in December 2005. ![]() In December 2007, Brother Laz released Median 2008, wich enhanced his series of mod to an even higher standard with more features and more fun. The median mods started looking less and less like a mod, and more and more like a Diabloish game on its own. The sequel to Median 2008 was released in October 2008 together with a new website. ![]() Was the new name, and the mod that has been continuously updated since then.

Blizzard Notice Median is popular and technically proficient enough that it was commented on by some of the Diablo 3 designers during an interview at Blizzcon 2009. GamePlanet: Have you guys ever played any of the mods that you get for Diablo II, the likes of the Median XL mod? Have you heard of that? Kevin Martens: Oh yeah, I played that like crazy! GamePlanet: So have you taken any sort of inspiration from some of the changes he has made at all? Download motogp for pc. Kevin Martens: You bet! It kinda hit us a few months back, people started playing a lot of it and brought it in and we took a look at it. There's some things that people have done with that game that I think are exemplary. He's done an awesome job actually of monster placement and creating combat scenarios where monsters tend to 'bleed in' from the outside, and take a combat situation that at first seemed like it was something you could handle, and then suddenly grows into something that is way out of hand! And it creates these really awesome moments. He came up with some really novel monster abilities and skills and stuff.
