Has anyone heard any mention of LAN play? All I've seen is "cooperatively play through battle.net" I'm going to be very disappointed if we can't have a good ole hack and slash fest using an 8 port switch... Especially with the horrendous amount of lag that will no doubt ensue for months after launch day...
I don't know a game that doesn't have LAN (excluding MMORPG's and such)... I am pretty sure there is nothing to worry about.
I do, it was called Hellgate. I think someone took it outside and shot it after they saw what a monstrous piece of crap it became, so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.

Hellgate has special online circumstances, I believe, and I personally never bought it because I saw what it was way before it was close to release.
I am afraid of how you can access your character if its a LAN. From what I've seen from D2, you have a BNET character and a single player character. The BNET character can only be accessed from a secure bnet account. How would that work with a LAN? Will it be a different character like the previous version?
I hope your single player character can be transfered to the bnet realm, i wasted a lot of time making that 82 necromancer before i logged onto bnet only to find out i couldnt continue playing him.
No LAN play? Bnet only?
Is this true, one of the best aspects of 90% of Blizzard's games are setup for LAN play. With the only exception, correct me if i am wrong, being WoW. How is it that Blizzard is going to alienate those of us who prefer to play LAN, be it with our friends, our kids or for those without a internet connection.
Thanks, I think I will stick with other games.
I know I am only one fan, but a very disappointed one.

In D2 your LAN character was different from bnet, just like single player. Which wouldn't bother me if that's how they did it again. I'm also hoping they keep LAN functionality because of things like lag on bnet, and good ol' fashion LAN parties.

BNET only would mean no CO-OP mods either. =/
Hellgate is Single/Online. It's exactly the same in both instances unless you subscribe.
I enjoyed them all.
Or at least keep open if they remove lan, then you can play with your friends still just in private games.
