I think someone was complaining about how if Diablo is released as an MMO sometime soon, WoW would lose money or something. I have some responses
1) If WoW lost money to Diablo, it would only be losing it to the same company, so they really wouldn't be losing any at all (unless Diablo was free.)
2) People happily play both franchises (myself excluded- I hate WoW, it's crap.) While that may change considering how you pay 15 bucks a month for WoW and then on top of that an added fee if the next Diablo were p2p, people would still choose one or the other if they weren't able to do both.
Whoa, was that some pessimism creeping into my voice? How dare me. :rolleyes:
I prefer to call it "realism", and you have every right to be so, since former speculations about the release of a third Diablo or even a patch or expansion have often (always, in the case of a DIII) proven entirely false concepts. But this time, eh, well, let's just hope it's decent.
Except that he is usually the one who announces most of it to us.
And Spaz., flaming someone and then posting "Have fun :)" at the end does not make it a friendly or non-flaming post, please don't do that, he wasn't flaming you, he was just saying that your spelling was messed up. Also, he said nothing about post counts:
Lol. He did fuck his wording up badly didn't he?
I almost said to go make an introduction thread but then checked and realized you've been around longer then me.
Side note: Medieval is kinda worshiped around here so you might get flamed for pointing out errors he says.
I do not see the words "post count" in there anywhere. He was probably basing it on the join date.
Hmm...Never noticed that before, last time I checked it was a bunch of foreign letters or something, but that was months ago. Strange that it goes directly to the Arreat Summit... GASP! Maybe Blizzard didn't buy out our site, maybe they're just remodeling the Arreat Summit, since they already own it
Or they could not charge a fee at all. If they do, I suppose you could always write your local congressman. That always make a difference.
Lol, yes, because we all know our local government is so efficient. And yes, free would be nice, but I'm very skeptical about it. With a massive increase in graphics and if the game became very popular, they'd need money to maintain their servers.
W-World of Warcraft!!!??? OH GOD!!! Pay to play sucks!.... Ah well, do you think they will put a charge on Battle.net? I heard those rumors are recirculating since the guys at Blizzard have not decided whether or not to put a monthly/bi-monthly charge on B.net. (and no, I don't have the link, you'll just have to find it yourself.)
Yes, there was something about that somewhere in one of the posts on this site, I remember reading something like they haven't decided yet and they may make pay-to-play for certain regions or something like that. Good luck finding it on here, though, hehe.
And on the payment thing, it would be nice if they'd let you have like a month fre (which I think they do in WoW, your first month or something, or atleast that was availible in the new SC Battle Chest) and then you only had to pay like 100 bucks for life time play, like LOTR online. Even though it looks monstrous upfront, it would save you a ton in the end, and it would be less of a hassle, because you wouldn't have to keep paying over and over again.
I would "lol" that, but I hear that's considered this nifty thing called "spam." Oh well. In any case, I think calling it something a little more vague like World of Sanctuary might be a good thing, since we're going to have to stop bringing Diablo back from near death eventually, it gets rather redundant, lol.
zz basically saying world of non diablo infested world -.-... im liking "world of chuck" you start as mister t... then jackie chan... then bruce lee... then jesus... then god... then chuck norris... only move is roundhouse kick because you can kill anything with a round house kick... i mean cmon look at the dmg on that baby on the pokechuck card below... 6000 dmg for roundhouse kick... my chuck > ur charizard
Everyone was actually fighting over this a month or two ago (The "World of Sanctuary" thing.)
Woo! Off topic?
The first line was on topic; don't blame him- he knows not what he does xD

Sorry, that new siggy addition deserves an eternal plaque somewhere on the site, lmao...
I'd have some comments and questions here, but I think I'd get this whole thing off topic, lol.

And if they don't make a Diablo 3, maybe we could all just become awesome programmers and make our own
