Why didn't they slowly release more new equipment with the patches that came out? Runewords were periodically released, but they never came out with new sets, uniques, etc. I was kinda annoyed how, in D2, you could instantly recognize a set piece (or unique) by what item it was. It kinda killed the thrill. T_T
Well I think they had DII successful and then after DIIXP they started working on a lot other things like Wc3 and later WoW so DII was left in the dust. D3 is going to likely sell more than Diablo II, will have a greater online following and with Blizzard's new MASSIVE success and expansion in employee and their iron grip on the PC game market, I expect to see a lot of patches to keep us playing. They got the staff to keep WoW running, SC 2 developing and Diablo 3 doing its own thing. They got over 3000 employees all over the world so this is a different time and I expect to see more patches.
I doubt they will release content patches ala WoW or any other MMO like that, but definitley I think after a while if the gameplay becomes stale, expect to see some additions made to the game that will increase its longevity. I also expect at least 1-2 expansions. Perhaps more.
That is very good to hear. It seemed way too easy to memorize the list of items and only be excited when certain ones appeared. I want the variety to stay strong.
