==Diablo 2 Act Five Mercenary Name Change=
This mysterious event occurred when the D2 v1.13 patch was released in 2009. The patch.txt said that two Mercenary names, "Klar" and "Tryneus" were added, and when fans dug into the code they discovered:
::In 1.13, MercX136 is called 'Klar', in 1.12 it was 'Weohstan'.
::In 1.13, MercX135 is called 'Tryneus', in 1.12 it was 'Erfor'.
Blizzard has offered no explanation for this inexplicable change. There is some fan speculation that it's meant to set up some plot development in Diablo 3, since there didn't seem any other reason to change those two merc names eight years after D2X was released.
If there's some plot reason to use the names of two Act Five mercs in Diablo 3, Blizzard could easily have just used two existing merc names. That they changed the names in this fashion, intentionally calling attention to their actions, makes it seem meaningful.
