Diablo came out around the time the internet was just starting to become mainstream. Multiplayer gaming over the internet was in it's infancy and Diablo was the first graphical game that appealed to the RPG type audience that was supported over the internet - everything prior had been either text or pretty much turn based. That means you had a whole genre of gamers who were born into online gaming through Diablo.
