Glad to know my group of 5 friends won't be able to play together. Player limits should be dependent on the host. Those that join servers with lots of players should be ready for lag if they have a computer that can't handle it.
"The game is playable for the first time at Blizzcon, and it's playable in co-op with up to four players. When asked about what the upper limit will be for co-op play, he said that the final number is up in the air but they're currently looking at eight. "We're a little bit worried that if you go up to too many players that you're not really going to be playing together anymore. We want to make sure it's a great co-op experience where you really play with the people you're with, so we've just got to experiment and figure out what the optimal number is."
Actually, I always thought Diablo III would get like 16-20 players online at the same time. I mean, come on, it's 2008! Hellgate, up to 5 last time I checked, Titan Quest, up to 6, Sacred 2, up to 16, NWN2, up to 100...
Can a mod just lock this thread ? it has become a flame fest, people just need to learn everything is a Worth in Progress and nothing is ever official..

Blizzard has really lost touch.
