Pay to play...if diablo heads that direction you can be sure it wont sell nearly as many copies as if it were just free...like it is now.
Hopefully Blizzard makes a wise decision..........
I think Diablo will go PtP once WoW starts to fizzle, which looks like a long time from now.
Blizzard said they'd support WoW for at least 5 years. That would mean that they'll start making another game to replace the 5 years old WoW in about 3-4 years after the release of WoW. Now its about 2 years old. 1-2 more years till they start working on it. Could be worked the way Blizzard took with the Warcraft series. They worked with both Warcraft 3 and WoW at the same time. First they released the strategy that led to the ending that suited WoW (together with the expansion that is) and then they launched WoW.
I dont see any reason not to do the same. But Diablo 3 definitely wont be pay-ti-play - or its not Diablo 3.
If diablo 3 is gay style every diablo fan will quit and write so much hate mail blizzard will die.If it stays the same, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!DIABLO 3!!!!!!!I will be sleeping next to best but at midnight
best buy not best but, sry
also, WoW actually sucks.It`s just like all MMORPGS, extremely addicating for no reason.
I think it will be p2p. and I'm pretty sure all of us will p2p, just because its a new installment of diablo... and I'm not too worried about paying a monthly fee. monthly fees create a tighter atmosphere with less exploits/glitches/hacks. for instance, the greatest thing Sony ever did with everquest was make it p2p, which is why the game never had any type of dupes/etc.... what was also a good strategy against hackers and the like was that if you found an exploit/hack/whatever, and reported it, and it was legit, you wouldn't have to pay to play anymore. very solid game plan imo.

Yes, the fact that people like to play it completely justifies the reasoning that it's a bad game. It makes so much sense! *cough* It would make more sense for you to jump off of a cliff than it would for you to continue arguing that WoW sucks based on that reasoning.
WOW is an alright game. i dont play it because I dont like the graphics and it is pay to play, and im damn near broke at the moment.
I like d2, the graphics although old now, were state of the art for back then, WOWs graphics dont seem state of the art. (but i havent looked into it) and its free to play

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
why would u want to pay to play when u have to buy the game it stupid enought that u would have to pay for the game that might be over $60 but of course u might like it. look at WoW for example my friend paid like $40 for the game and $15 a month just to play that is rediculas. i dont mind it being like the elder scrolls IV: oblivion witch is kinda fun to play but if u are going to have to pay money on the internet atleast let there be a single player witch i have on d2 : lvl 87 pally non hacked:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
It would be really lame if you have to pay to play ... but hey we all know D3 is going to probably the best RPG ever ... i know ill pay to play it even if im lookin in seat cushins for change to pay for it haha

SICK...SILVER Inferno Crusading Knights ... Coming to Diablo 3 Realm Near You!
all pay to play games get content added per patches that are equal to expansions in non pay to play games. Elder Scrolls IV also has "pay to get" quests that cost over 3$/quest - thats even more outrageous for a single player title that has NO multiplayer, thus no server maintenance costs, no Game Masters hired and many many more of those that pay to play games have (aka MMOGs).
You only pay for the game you get. How the game ends up after more than a dozen patches that add content, balance, quests etc etc etc has nothing to do with the original one. If you dont like such games, just dont pay. None forces anyone to play them.
