Diablo III has come a long way since its troubled launch exactly two years ago. With Reaper of Souls being widely-praised and its console presence growingDiablo IIhas never looked better. To celebrate the occasion, Blizzard has announced that for the next week all players will received double Rift Fragments and a +100 percent boost to their chance at finding Legendary items. These bonuses will stack with similar effects.

The bonus birthday buff will last in the Americas region until Thursday, May 22 at 5:00 a.m. PDT, though only for the PC and Mac edition of the game. Sorry, console players! Take comfort in the fact that you already get more Legendaries than us the rest of the time.
