Does anyone have any more information on character creation? Is it going to be first in first served or will names tied to your account?
Personally I reckon it would better to have a name linked to your account.
Sure it means there may be duplicate names in game, but so what? There will still be player distinction through gear, class, spells etc. Even if there does happen to be two players with identical names it's no biggie, not to mention those odds would be pretty small.
I reckon there is more appeal in having the character name you want, rather than making character names exclusive.
I know it's just a name but still, having the name you want is the business.
Peace.
I reckon you're being a bit presumptuous in thinking most players don't care about their name being unique.
What's with all the music hate? We've heard almost none of it.
Listen.
That's the music from New Tristram in the Artisan trailer. If you ask me, it's better than anything that was in D2 hands down, it's pretty fucking creepy.
I'm pretty sure it's nostalgia at work here, D2 had like one memorable song (the Tristram theme! Surprise!). Everything else was sort of partially-ambient creepy background music. And none of it was half as good as that song I linked above.
Woah hold on there, I'm not gonna argue and say that D2's music was all memorable and can't be surpassed by D3's but come on give credit where credit is due.
Act 2 Lut Gholein's music was great in my opinion as was most of Act 1/2/5's music.
Also in regards to the King Leoric voices, maybe its just me but I have played all of Blizzard games including the entire Warcraft series and Chris Metzen (King Leoric in D1) voices Deathwing/Half of the entire Orc race/Thrall and numerous other characters so I cant listen to him and think "that's King Leoric" or that he sounds creepy or threatening when that's the exact same voice he uses for Thrall. The new Leoric is at-least unique, let him grow into the role and draw you into the atmosphere of his tomb while playing the game before passing judgement.
It's a bug, keybindings and gameplay settings reset after the game is closed. Tech forums already said its fixed in the next patch.

Did DFans end up with any, and if so how will you be going about distributing them?
