It didn't star in Diablo 2, like said:

1. pwn
PWN (verb)

1. An act of dominating an opponent.

2. Great, ingenious; applied to methods and objects.

Originally dates back to the days of WarCraft, when a map designer mispelled "Own" as "Pwn". What was originally supose to be "player has been owned." was "player has been pwned".

Pwn eventually grew from there and is now used throughout the online world, especially in online games.
1. "I pwn these guys on battlenet"

2. "This strategy pwns!" or "This game pwn."

Unless I'm mistaken, it started on Warcraft, I never even saw it said a lot on Diablo. All you see is people just calling others noobs on Diablo anyways.

i know what pwned meant but had no idea where it came from....i think that it will just wear it self out till where everyone is sayin it and its just another fad to me, sometime down the road we will be saying something else thats cool for a while. and so on and so on.
