But I can make sure Blizzard will not have this kind of problem,

True. Blizzard have a lot more experience and history in dealing with online content. Their online portals are one of, if not the most heavily congested portals in the world. I have good faith that they will deliver a good infrastructure for Diablo.

I duno abt you guys but im the type of gamer who likes to keep a copy of any games bought on shelf for future play through again, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years down the road. I just duno if by then, ActiBliz would support D3 or any games currenlty on Battlenet then.

Support the IP yes, but would they support their older games? look at Sony and support for PS2 games? Cant play em unless u have a PS2 or the older version of PS3.

the first time when i see D3 debut trailer, i had tears in my eyes. after so long...how could i not buy it? how could i not play it? those mouse killing hours...especially played so many clones, so many wannabes...nothing comes close to the real Diablo gameplay experience!

Do you have the Youtube link?

Post it here, thanks.

i hope

Why don't just call it Diablo 3 MMORPG and be done with it.

It bark like a dog, it bite like a dog, it's a dog, even if you name it Cat.

Diablo is one of my favourite game back then.... and talking about connection.... i remember it was 1998 when i first try using the dial up connection to play with my friend..... it was using phone dial over to my friends modem... tat means onli can 2 player play.... and it was not even consider 56k modem online play.... is like direct connect....
wow really miss it..... nowadays all broadband or Fiber optic..... big differences..... so i guess connection will only get better. ALL PPL NO WORRY....LETS GRAB D3!

Because of $_$. Blizz is pure sold out.

P.S Go and look at the US WOW, they SELL ingame item.

But what if you line has a short mess up and it drops for a few seconds, byebye current Diablo3 game, you were about to kill the boss? Sucks to be you

WoW ruined mine

"To create that community and provide everyone who's part of that community the benefits of that community, we want them to be connected and playing online."

What the hell does that means?
WHAT ARE THE "BENEFITS OF THAT COMMUNITY" he is talking about if I only want to play solo or with buddies I know already?!
What is having to connect to Blizz servers going to bring me as advantage if I just don't want to play in pubs?

Concretely?
I am actually genuinely asking here if people can tell me some real benefits because I just can't see one I care about?

Cross Blizzard games chat? That can be the only one I can think about and while it can be interesting for some I do think it's something others may not want. Again just giving choice, if you want online stuff, you have to be online obviously. If I just want to goddamn play alone and not have people know about it, I should too

I would think that quite a few people won't want to play with random players in a game like Diablo, I never pubbed in my hundreds hours on D2 and LoD, I played with friends or alone only. I don't pretend to be the majority or something but I think people were just asking for a possibility to play offline when they wanted

the land filled with duped gold, archangel staffs of apocalypse, king sword of haste, etc etc?

STAY A WHILE AND LISTEN

lulz whats wrong with the water again ar?

so they changed back the item storing to the classic "tetris" style?
