It's obviously some D2 reference but I never played a diablo game before and I've been wondering, what is this Cow level that everyone talks about?

There is no cow level. Everything you know is a lie.

Cow Level, in Diablo 2 anyway, was created when you combined a Tome of Town Portals and Wirt's Leg in the Horadric Cube
Then you'd kill lots of cows walking on 2 legs weilding polearms.

I've never heard of a pony level, but the cow level was always fun.

So there will be no COW levels. That doesn't mean there won't be x (fill in another type of animal/monster here) levels.

There ain't any cow level. Never been. Don't trust what they say, it's all a lie.
At least that's the joke
IIRC the whole thing started with a false rumor about Diablo 1 having a secret "cow level", which Blizzard then put in as an actual easter egg area in D2. This zone was extremely popular among powergamers because of being an easily exploitable level grinding area prior to being nerfed in a patch, and that may have helped reinforce the popularity of the catchphrase. They would then go on to reference the cow level (or rather the alleged inexistence of it) in other games such as the sheep level in Frozen Throne and loading screen tips in WoW. It seems from early datamining as if Diablo III in turn will have a similiar easter egg area, dubbed the "pony level" by speculators for most likely referencing the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cartoon series in certain spoken lines and boss names.
That's pretty much the whole deal. Just a somewhat obscure-in-origin Blizzard tradition dating back to an old community joke.
