It originated in diablo 1. It was a rumor that people would talk about though it wasn't real. Blizzard ended up adding it in d2 because of all cult following of it.


It also made sort of a semi apperance in Hellfire (the expansion for Diablo, produced by Sierra On-Line, not considered part of the story) with the Cow quest were you would get a brown suit for a "complete nut" (cant remember if he was in a cowsuit at that point or if it was the suit you were getting) and be rewarded with a black and white plate armour named "The Bovine Plate".

Hmm i wonder if i can get Hellfire to work on win7....

I'm almost positive 1 is just number of the chat channel. Its there for overflow protection I'd assume.

This is almost confirmed by the fact that the name of the channel at the bottom of the screen just says The Cow Level. This is also how general chat, Sc2 looking for team, Arcade and every other blizzard defined chat channel works.

Talking to the cow would make it drop a bomb, which you could use to open a portal to "The Hive"

Haha this is actually pretty cool I just confirmed that it works. Now all we need is for a mapmaker to make a cow level map...

This was in WoL as well, click the logo 10 times. Seems crazy to me that no-one knew about this.

EDIT: Well, few people. And it's not really a different method, you click the logo a bunch.

There is actually no cow level in Diablo 1, and the rumor was absurd coincidence it seems. However, after so much noise about it from the community, Blizzard played along and really started making cow levels, as well as including the phrase "there's no cow level" in cheat codes and hiding it in all kinds of places in their games. It's one of those community-Blizz-community interactions, which make Blizzard so good and so popular / having a strong fan following.
