Blizzard will not make a dicision like PTP vs. FREE this late in the game, Multiplayer has to be set up when the core of the game is built or it will not be stable. the core is non-game specific code(WoW uses WC3 core) if Diablo is to eventually be a MMORPG Blizzard will make use of a core they already have that is not outdated (D3) and make the MMORPG come out as the original game (D3) is at peak popularity thus gaining alot of fans quickliy, as they did with WC3 and WoW. Besides they also need a draw to b-net so they can keep it running for future games, the more players in the games the more companies will pay to advertise in the chat rooms. The resident MMO team is a little busy with WoW at the moment but Starcraft ghost has been anounced and Blizzard stated they could not devote an entire team of developers to SCG so they have something planned just not a PTP game
didnt bother, way too long...
Lets conclude that blizzard will obviously not make diablo3 into an mmo, as #1, they already hav a successful mmo running, and making a nother 1 wud pull custmers away from the origanal, #2 making it an mmo would utterly demolish its reputation as a game with a rocking story line.
for these reasons, i beg to oppose...

Just PM me if you're intrested in playing DOTA through SICK.
Well, i am really hoping that it would be free to play...i am a huge fan of diablo games and played them just befor i switched to GuildWars that came out last year. I think i would play WoW but at least for now the monthly fee kills it for me =) I realy realy hope its free and has a single player mode.
Yea i agree, the only reason why im not playing wow is because the monthly fee, i bought it thinking it was like diablo but i had to sell it because im too poor
Yeah Guildwars is online game and its free but its not really like D2 though ppl do compare them. It has amazing graphincs and Great PvP sytstem, i can go on and on about it...but in all its a great game =p
Really, i don't really want to go on about it as its not on the topic at all but
in the beginig i would say that Guildwars was boring but as you go on it changes. Its more based on your experience and skills then on anything else, many people are just interested in uber items and armor-which this game does not have- so i see that some may be disaponted, but again its all about the skills that you get and Team work =). But then again from all that i know about WoW (my friends as most of them play it, reviews, forums) i think that GW is much more hardcore so i still prefer it. Although trully if it wasn't for the monthyl fee i would get WoW just becasue its a Warcraft game and from Blizzard. So if there are no monthyl fee fo D3 hell yeah i am getting it!!!
I'd pay to play, but they would have to have it at $5 as a max. They are making enough off of World of Warcraft that they shouldn't charge for that. Lets see, there are 40 million World of Warcraft Users worldwide. Now $12 X 40,000,000 = Thats 480 million dollars a month. They can't get greedier than that can they. Thats enough money to catch up with Bill Gates in 9 yrs or so, and double in in 18 yrs. Even sooner if they charged for Diablo 3. Thats so freaking unbelievible.

2 pionts i want to state 1) dejavu the only reason guild wars and diablo are compared is because some of the people that left blizzard went on to make that game, otherwise it is completley different but not bad 2) blizzard will not charge for diablo 3

wow, i am not sure that they are getting that much, then again i know nothing about such things but they do spend money on servers and staff...or whatever they do spend it on. They must really be greedy to make a monthly fee for D3 though, and as someone already said they are probly not going to

Yeah i am aware of that and of course it does play a role, but D1-D2 and GW do share some things in comon, like human classes, runnable missions, boss farming...:D
... if there was a monthly charge that would suck but that would just mean that u would be more of a diablo fan... or it would mean that just cause there is a charge thats why your not gonna play the game...
depends on the price and if i had fast internet speed if 10 bux a month sure y not but if its going to be a gay game then i would never play. (But im sure its gonna be sweet)
but if it were free to play there probably be a ton more people playing which could even out the odds more games vs. # of people paying (in the long run definetly if you pay it adds up and they get payed a buttload more.
because people don't want to pay to play they would buy games that are almost as good and play for free online.
i dont have wow because no internet and gay monthly fee. and i won't buy it for single player sh** since i still have to pay.
and it definetly will not be worth it to pay if you don't have hi speed.
Like KingPin said Lets see, there are 40 million World of Warcraft Users worldwide. Now $12 X 40,000,000 = Thats 480 million dollars a month. They can't get greedier than that can they.

yeah that is a lot... but think wut if more people start playing diablo 3 and the total around the world is like 50 million players... that just be beyond imagination...
