"When it's done."

Sigh.

That looks really good, really like all their ideas. Too bad I'll be waist deep in TOR when that comes out.

I heard they're delaying it until they can release the Diablo III botting edition, does anyone still play D2? if so check out WWW.D2JSP.ORG for all your item needs. :)

Wow, that is interesting. Blizz took a lot of what they learned from Diablo to make WOW so I am thinking that they will slide this into WOW if it works for them. If they do, I might just spend a day farming once a month so I can play for free.

So you aren't going to be able to play Diablo 3 offline with no internet connection.

That ****ing sucks.

Well, you could pirate it, but then you won't be able to play it online should you decide you actually want to.

Exactly, I hardly ever played Diablo online and now to force me to do so and deal with lag I am pissed.

I think it is the only way to limit the cheaters. If they allow both it will only allow greater holes to be exploited.

they say that online only is to keep people from playing offline and then getting upset because their offline characters don't port over to online. I think we all know that's bullshit. It's because online only makes it dramatically harder to pirate.

If it works then all games with start being made that way.

Same way the double/triple dipping has become all the rage.

1. buy the game for $50
2. pay $10 monthly online fee
3. pay for DLC

They will keep squeezing as long as people keep paying.

That shit is getting old. It's making me want to stop playing those games all together.

But i will be getting D3. I loved D2 too much not to.

yep ... me too.

Nah, didn't SC2 break the pirating records? That game was online only as well. It's just as easy to pirate them.

I was one of the idiots in D2 who thought you could take your SP character online. IIRC, I was level 33 in SP and was like OK I'M READY! Woops...

/startover

What sucks is I generally have no desire to play online for the most part. As long as I can still play a private single player game I will at least buy it.

which just taught you how to play before you got online ... everybody wins.

seriously if that was really the reason then they could just put a label on the disc saying "characters are NOT portable between offline and online modes"

nah .... it's bullshit

maybe pirating isn't the only reason but the offline/online character excuse is just lame.
