Aye, I see.

 

I was closely watching Diablo 3 on Diii.net...but I haven't kept up with it. I seriously doubt this year, and 2010 would be optimistic.

Lol. I guess so. I expect to hear we're going to have to pay for playing online any day now.

 

I seriously doubt that Blizzard is dumb enough to make D3 a pay to play game. A couple of reasons support that:

 

A) Would be direct competition with their baby WoW (who is going to pay for 2 games) which leads to the next point

 

B) If I have WoW why would I buy another pay to play (I might cancel my WoW for d3 or just not buy D3) If I have WoW and am paying for it, why would I want to pay for another game. Now if D3 was free then yeah I'd consider it because I wouldn't have to pay a monthly fee.

 

With that reasoning they would sell more product because those who are playing WoW would be more inclined to buy D3 and keep their WoW subscriptions.

 

C) Diablo has been free for the last 10 years, they would loose their fan base.

 

 

However, I digress. Blizzard is that dumb.

Yeah, I was just kidding back there. It was kind of a refererence to Hellgate London that also didn't have Lan and required you to pay a subscription if you wanted to play online. You might remember some people saying HG:L just with another name(well, at least till everybody found out ow badly it sucked)

Meh thinks that Diablo III WILL allow all your LAN games. The Diablo series has been a good game for LAN parties, and I think the developers will not overlook that.

Huzzah! We have update!

 

Can anyone explain how the Archivist works? All I managed to get out of the explanation is that he uses books.
