I would have gladly given 100 euros to get into beta now and have the game free later.But i will never give money to that piece of crap that is WOW.The game that ruined the flow of awesome games like warcraft 1,2&3.

Lol, no way this is doable within 24 hours. The mobs will kick your ass because you will not have time to gear up if you go for the speed. People complain the beginning of the game is easy, and it is, but certain mobs or unlucky situations can still kill you in a second or two. I've been playing games since i was 6 or some shit (22 now) and I do have a clue what I'm doing by now. (and I'm in the beta) Once you start reaching higher difficulties, you HAVE to take it easy or you're dead half the time. Plus, why the fuck would you waste your first impression of a game you've waited 10 years for by skipping everything story related? You're basically serving yourself all the spoilers without getting the story, so it's just miserable. I used to do server first shit in WoW but I would never do it in D3 just because this game is worth so much more, every bite should be savored. It's like an epic pie that takes 10 years to bake, but instead of letting it cool and enjoying every bite, you plan to blend it up and dilute it with water and drink it with a straw. If you are so desperate for e-fame, go play something competitive where you don't have to ruin an experience this good for yourself, it's such a god damn waste.
Out of curiosity, what exactly is it that compels you so much about the concept of being the first to cross the line? I assume it's some simple desire to be the fastest and best, but this doesn't make much sense to me as you don't even know if you are getting an achievement for it. It seems unlikely that you would as they have said nothing about feats of strength like there were in WoW, and Diablo is primarily a co-operative game. The focus is not on competition.

Ok from the World of Warcraft Annual Pass FAQ it says that if you buy Diablo 3 Collector's Edition you get 4 months of Wow subscription.You get also goodies from the collector's box plus wow pet for wow, dyes,banners,aesthetic lookings for diablo 3 and portraits for SC2.

I find this cheaper than to have been locked in wow for 1 year and pay 140-150$ or euros. The collector's edition will be priced 70-80$ i presume.And with the REAL AH of Diablo you can make some money to renew your subscription in wow.

Me i will stick at Diablo cause wow has gone kung fu pokemon panda style.

Kung Fu is awesome, pokemon is awesome and pandas are awesome. Your argument is invalid.

Kung Fu is awesome, pandas are cute and endangered specie and pokemon.....no comment.

Ew.

They're really trying to squeeze as much money out of D3 as they possibly can, aren't they? It sickens me that they have to pull this maneuver just to bribe people into maintaining a WoW subscription. Personally I have nothing against WoW, but when it takes large hits from SWTOR, Blade and Soul, and GuldWars 2 I'll be jumping with joy.

They're treating Diablo 3 as a tool, and that upsets me.

why? they are one company... this is what a company should do. They fact they that came up with this idea is very impressive.

It isn't impressive. It's actually an extremely obvious business decision. They turn Diablo III into a gimmick to attract a dying WoW subscription base, and then smother the news with a new cinematic and lore video. It's a dirty trick, and you can't deny that.

No, its not a dirty trick, its a fantastic and smart idea. Its getting people like me, who were done with wow to pay or a FULL YEAR, it was the push I needed to keep playing, thats not dirty, thats smart on them. If we didnt want to keep playing, we still wouldnt.

Hands down its a smart move, and no "dirty". Use a high profile product to increase profits... uhh... thats the point of a company.

I don't think you understand. This move isn't brilliant; in the world of business, this move was commonplace. A high-school student interested in business could've pulled this one off.

You yourself admit to "keep playing" simply because you want D3 for free. Now they've gained a WoW subscriber. It's as simple as that. They're going to milk D3 for all its worth just to play the numbers game with competing MMOs. It saddens me that they need to exploit one of their own games to do so, especially a game that's generally regarded as the "tertiary option" of Blizzard games. They're throwing D3 in free like a salesman throws in an extra car wash after your 5th visit, and frankly that's just sad.

Buying at Wal-Mart, obviously. Once I write down the CD-Key I will exchange it for a new copy. Easy way to get double the character slots for the same price.

And you honestly think that'll work?

Worked for SC2. Why wouldn't it work? It is a great way to get another 10 character slots for free.
