An optimistic article maybe, doesn't confirm anything but does seem to hint this won't be a monthly cash cough-up jobbie. Hope springs eternal.

they already have WoW for that.
you think every free online game would be as succesful as if they were to make it payperplay?

using that logic, devs have been doing things wrong for years!

It's a helva lot of money to say no to... and realm servers do cost money to run.... plus blizzard do CONSTANTLY support their games for years after release with added content and "rebalancing" as well as traditional bug fixes. That all costs money... I know I wouldn't say no to passing on the cost if it was my business.

New video. Looks like they put a lot of effort into the mercenaries from the start this time. I loved that you could give them gear after an LoD patch.

Lame. Diablo is a sprite game. This is because Diablo is all about fighting 600 monsters at the same time. Pretty hard for a game to render 600 monster models + whatever spell animations... video didn't look too great

Isn't Diablo supposed to be really dark, hellish and scary? What's up with all the bright colours, seems too WoW'ish. Hopefully they're just showing one of the earlier levels.

Can't say I am now. After trying Darkspore i had the realisation i'd actually had with Torchlight and forgotten, that i fucking despise click-to-move controls. And if it is PPM then no way José, but tbh i can't see that happening. It's no MMO with a massive persistant world with thousands of players running around in, it's 4 player coop. Though i'd expect microtransactions by the truckload.

You guys should pick up the Deathspank games. Started playing this week and Thongs is amazingly fun.

You can now pre-order D3 if you're still interested after watching that dreadful video...

Hopefully Blizz keeps up their "unofficially make it work flawlessly under Wine" behavior with this one.

Blizzard will have an Auction House for D3 where you'll be able to buy and sell items collected in the game. Sound cool. :up:

Real money or in-game gold.

Why is this not cool? If I find a rare item and sell it for a couple hundred bucks, that's not cool? It's not like they're forcing you to participate with this...

A couple hundred bucks. :olo:

The down side is, in order to prevent the auction house from being flooded with the best stuff, the drop rates will probably have to be lowered. So those people who don't participate will have to put in a lot more time for the same reward.

Wouldn't suprise me if they prevent certain items from being sold, like the very best items. Allowing them to be traded but not put up on the auction house.

There's no logical reason to place restrictions like that.

Here's a pretty savvy article on the potential impact of a RL currency AH: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/26397-t ... explained/

Blizzard will make their money from Diablo 3 off of the RMAH, should be no need to charge monthly.
