Added DiffLines:

* AscendedFanon: Wild rumors spread, for no apparent reason, of a Secret Cow Level in ''Diablo''. There wasn't one. Blizzard, taking it all in good fun, made "thereisnocowlevel" a cheat code in ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}''... and then put a Secret Cow Level in ''VideoGame/DiabloII''.
* UrbanLegendOfZelda
** In the Battle.net chat interface in ''Diablo II'', there is a gem that can be clicked on to toggle a lit/unlit state, but appears to do nothing functional. Occasionally when you click on it, it will give a message, such as "Perfect gem activated." Hundreds of rumors about the gem's actual, secret function have spawned. All Creator/{{Blizzard|Entertainment}} has said about it is that it is "Working as intended." It is possible, by clicking the gem a certain number of times, to trigger a message saying "Perfect Game Activated" (normally the message is "Gem Activated/Deactivated"), but the number of clicks required to do so is random and has no effect on anything else.
*** After initially being very hush-hush about it, [[http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/faq/multiplayer.shtml#gem Blizzard eventually came clean]]: [[http://www.diablowiki.net/Chat_Gem all it does is turn off and on]]. It's not connected to anything.
