The Most Beautiful Thing You’ve Ever Seen…
Well, maybe not *that* beautiful, but if this doesn’t give you a twitching finger and a WANT beating in your chest, you’re probably reading the wrong website. Click through to see it in huge size; plenty big enough to set as your desktop, if you want to torture yourself. Or send the jpg to your noob friends and tell them it’s a photo of your desk, just to watch them freak out.

Stay tuned, since we’ve got lots more super high quality photos of the game screen coming up soon, including all the interface screens, resources, skill menus, and much more.

Diablo: IncGamers

Regarding AH criticism - we can always choose not to buy items with real money. Only concern is if the servers will now be saturated with PRC gold farmers now that Blizzard has legalized RWM item sales.

Regarding SP criticism - there's Torchlight 2 so you won't miss D3 much. It'll also be cheaper for sure.

Main concern is this: if they try another bullshit price jack and lie their way out e.g. "Server bandwidth in Singapore is expensive so the game is expensive too!", then I won't be buying this game like I never bought and never will buy Starcraft 2.

I am somehow interested in how the "buy stuff from AH with real money" or "sell it for real money" will work.

That it get used by criminals as a way to launder money or for people to cheaply transfer fund internationally is not totally out of questions imo...

And I am surprised Blizz didnt think of these...

Actually seriously i know many guys out there don't freaking care much if D3 were to go online-only to play.

HOWEVER - would you guys even realize

1. Playing D3 halfway .. and your internet connection drops... would your game just hang? stop and restart u at the last checkpoint ?? What happen u just saw an AWESOME drop u can sell in auction house on the floor... and u gonna walk over it to pick it up... but that very instance.. our so called reliable STREAMYX connection drops... so what ?

2. And what happen if let say most guys out there are using an internet connection which shared among  a few people in a dorm or by few people living within the same roof... someone just torrent a whole bunch of stuff while halfway you are playing D3 SOLO.. should that affect your SOLO experience to be laggy ?? If they would have introduced offline mode.. i guess like SC2.. your game experience won't be affected ...

3. For god sake... even if we have constant internet connection doesn't mean you your connection isn't BLOCKED on certain ports.. maybe for some people who u know joined a wifi hotspot or something... they might only open PORT 80 for you to browse web. That means... those internet connection can't let u play D3. YOU NEED A NICE CLEAN OPENED Internet connection like personal streamyx or unify line to play D3. So in another words. you are only restricted to play D3 just like how u would play MMORG right at home. Even though.. with D2 or SC2 i could play it anywhere in a game capable laptop hardware.

The day when a single or small group of programmers can create a computer game in their spare time is long over. Now, creating a proper video game is long and expensive task. it involved hundreds if not thousands of people working full time. More so now that Blizzard is a corporate body with a board of shareholders, most of which i believe never play any game beyond solitaire. So go figure.

blizz may be thinking tat constant internet connection requirement is not a problem especially not to all the 8mils of wow players...

if even half of wow players buy d3, blizz should be satisfy enuff...and when its downtime for wow...they can then switch to d3

anyway...hoo yeah...d3 menu looks yummy...

i meant to play wow...u need constant internet connection to play...and tat millions of wow players doesnt complain...i know there's the lag/latency issue which also force me to quit wow...but still...there's millions of players out there playing a game tat requires constant internet connection.

and if these players can live wif it....why cant they live it wif it as well wif d3

1.get unifi
2. get unfi
3. get unifi

k bye

For christ sake wifi are for internet browsing only. Scums like you will only misuse it for others.
Tell me about people who just clicked on PPS in home so just because he/she can statisfy their own needs.
In one WORD - SELFISH.

I've said this plenty of times before. Unless you say your internet connections drop every 5 seconds, or your face are totally glued to your PC Monitor, this "online login thingy" is no problem. Heck it's even more fun when everyone can actually share their character information/equipments in the future, unlike in D2, where I see everybody showing me their glowing shiny armor, which in any case they are forged directly from a trainer - LOL.

Auction house is just auction house. You don't like it, don't use it. If you dislike Blizzard overall and how Activision greediness got over Blizzard, stop replying this thread and stop playing their games. Easy solution.

Just a minor correction. Blizzard (or rather Vivendi Games) bought Activision, not the other way around. So, Activision has nothing to do with any decision they made thus far.

Okay, carry on. 

Activision Blizzard, Inc., formerly Activision, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is the American holding company for Activision and Blizzard Entertainment. The company is majority owned by French conglomerate Vivendi SA and was created through the merger of Activision and Vivendi Games, announced on December 2, 2007,[3] in a deal worth USD$18.8 billion.[4] The deal closed July 9, 2008. The company believed that the merging of the two companies would create "the world’s largest and most profitable pure-play video game publisher".[5] It believes that it is the only publisher that has "leading market positions across all categories" of the video game industry.[5]

to minor correct this:
its a merger, no ones buying over anyone despite activision blizzard being majoritily owned by vivendi instead of activision

For all intents of purposes Vivendi SA(and by extension Blizzard) owns Activision since they have majority share. Blizzard is an independent division by all accounts.

Actually my point was whatever decision Blizzard made, it is NOT the Activision factor.
