Is it important? No. Do most people care? No. Do some people care? Yes. Did I find a previous thread on the cow level in HotS? No.

I read the thread on "There is no cow level" in blogs and decided to look for it. It existed in WoL, after all.

Click 10 times on the Starcraft logo on the first screen upon logging in. There you go. HotS has the cow level.

For those of you not in the know...

http://www.wowwiki.com/There_is_no_cow_level

Blizzard has, for years, been denying allegations of hiding secret "cow levels" in their games, especially the original Diablo, where the rumors first began. (If you clicked a mysteriously-spawned cow several times, it opened a portal that led to a secret area, hence the name.) Descriptions vary from report to report of what exactly a "cow level" is, but they are generally accepted to be secret areas that contain significant numbers of bovines (sometimes including powerful, magic-wielding bovines) and little else. So prevalent were claims by fans to have found the "secret cow level" in any number of Blizzard's games that their repeated, pithy response became a common utterance for fans: There is no cow level.

Feel free to move to blogs or close if nobody gives a fuck. It'll just make it all the more exclusive. Heyoka, I'm looking at you.

Actually the opposite. Deliberately clicking on things until it opened a cow level.

Sadly, the majority of people going into the cow level chat room probably haven't ever even played the actual cow level and don't know where it originated

It's like a ponzi scheme. You recruit all of your friends. When you recruit enough, they become level 2. Promise them that if they get more people, they can be level 1.
