Rumors about a Diablo III secret level began even before the game itself was announced, with fans frequently speculating about what sort of [[Secret Cow Level]] we might see next time. It's unknown if the [[D3 Team]] had anything in mind in the early days, but shortly after Diablo III's debut, the [[art controversy]] kicked up, resulted in various [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=762&cat=553 there are no rainbows in D3!] jokes, and was picked up and run with by the design team themselves.
==Beta Data Mined Information== '''SPOILER WARNING''' Fans digging into the game files included in the Diablo III beta client found numerous references to secret levels and hidden content. AS with all data mined information, it's not known if the following will be in the game in any form. There are also numerous horse-related codewords in the Diablo III game info. Several characters, bosses, (including Tyrael and the Butcher) and items were given such codenames, to preserve their secrecy. Thus some of these horse-related terms that sound like they have to do with a hypothetical secret unicorn level might be included on this list incorrectly. The following are the code names for various events in the game, as they appear in the game files. More information will be added as these terms are decoded. The Act 4 sections are thought to refer to Diablo.

Most fans thought Diablo III looked awesome right from the start. A minority of fans weren't so pleased though, and their objections soon crystallized around the idea that Diablo III was "too colorful." No one seemed to object to the monster and character graphics; it was the well-lit, blue/green-tinted dungeons that drew most of the criticism, and some of the too-pretty outdoor scenes. Some of which [http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=762&cat=553 even had rainbows]!
