Well, judging from the number of people who actually knew it's an old interview, I guess it's good to have it back in the news page ^^
P.S. 100th post O.o
I'm getting the impression, from this thread and some of the questions being asked in the last thread, that most people aren't paying a hell of a lot of attention or reading even 95% of the updates added to this site.
I'd be in a lot more group games if it were easier to comminicate with friends and people you recently played with. If Diablo III, or Battle.net 2.0 had a list of the players you recently played with, (like Xbox LIVE) it would be much easier to gain friends and group together.
I'm willing to bet Blizzard will be investing in creating a program like Steam to make all Blizzard (and Activision) games easy to download and use. All the Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo fans would be able to communicate with each other.

steam already releases all the activision games
and blizzard already has the blizzard store for the "easy to download" part of your post
also battlenet has always been easy to use as you can talk to people not in the same game (wc3/d2/etc) as you so I'm hoping they didnt focus on being like valve and thus focusing on being like BLIZZARD

That's what I meant in my post. It's okay You don't have to check this site every hour of the day to know everything about D3, that just makes you a nerd like me ^^
The achievemente system will be fun, i don't expect to be the top achiever but i'll certainly try to get more achievements than my friends.
I'm curious to see how blizzard will fight against cheaters, i hope they make a permanent team to track cheats and don't forget about the game (the same way they did with diablo 2). They lost a lot of players because of that.

I think they have a AC team now
didn't see too much cheating in wc3 (cept dota mh), almost 0 in WoW
and now that blizzard is taking legal action against botting, and they have over 9000 dollars to spend, I expect blizzard to be even more anti-haxor

There are other ways, you should not worry, Blizzard is not likely to implement something that will anger its buyers.
I think blizzard should definitely do this. Not to prevent people from having more then one account, they could just a second cd key... I would like for them to only allow like 6-8 characters per account but they never expire, id probably still play diablo 2 if my characters didnt expire.
Here is what I hope they do right guys, scale the creatures and difficulty level correctly, let me type that again, scale the creatures and difficulty level correctly for the number of players that are on a server.
Blizzard is basically adapting to what Titan Quest used for its multiplayer, every time a new player joined a server in Titan Quest, the difficulty automatically adjusted, only problem is that, even on the highest difficulty on top of the max of 6 players on the server at its highest adjusted difficulty, the game was a breeze when people fought together, the only time it was hard was when you went solo on a maxed out high level server.
I hope Blizzard really makes the game fun and challenging for groups that want to fight in packs together, not a cake walk like Titan Quest was, which made it very boring. I'd rather go on single player honestly, and enjoy killing everything myself rather than have some kid running around with his high level gear hacking everything away like he is some amazing force in the game but rather an annoyance.
On a side note: What ? The characters you create expire if you don't use them over a certain period of time ? That's not good at all, what if you take a long break then an expansion comes out for high level content and the character you have been saving for the expansion has been expired. So anyways, how long did you have in Diablo 2 without playing until your character/s were expired ?
i solo'd a lot on hardcore mode to keep from being pk'd. and that's what the hostility system really amounted to: getting pk'd. duels were pretty unbalanced too, as a paladin could be almost immune to all elements and just run around spells, then charge.
the only other reason to solo was just to keep the difficulty level at a minimum so that people joining and staying in town wouldn't leave you the only one out there fighting monsters that were suddenly 7 times tougher. and that actually happened a lot, with all the beggars and people too lazy to make their own trade game.

If you don't touch a character for two months it gets marked as 'expired' which means it can be deleted anytime from that point. And what did you expect? Otherwise everyone could flood their servers with a gazillion characters and accounts.... Which is only tolerated in P2P games because people pay for the server space.
Why would it be a problem to tick every char once every two months? You just need one minute six times a year. That's a pretty nice deal for a free-to-play online game that doesn't limit your number of accounts.
"The average game size on battle.net in Diablo 2 games is 1.2 players"
haha personally I think bots play a massive role in this low average. I know of such people who run as many as 24 bots 24/7 in private games, with each bot managing a couple hundred games each per day.
" “why would you want to play with someone else?” They can go hostile at any time and kill you, mostly in an exploitive way and it’s not like it’s a fair fight - you’d probably be dead before you even noticed they went hostile; there’s a good chance they’ll steal all your loot so you won’t get anything good and it just makes the game a little bit harder so why would you want to play that way?"
i also dont like what has been said here. this is rarely the case (at least for me) and it sucks how a minority of pkers are ruining pvp for the rest of us. Diablos gone soft lol.

VAC ftw though

Yep. I was about to warn the poster about that.
