I have a question regarding multiplayer play. I have played Diablo 2, but always offline, mostly solo. 2-3 times on LAN. Never online.
What me and my friends wish to do in DIII is to only play with each other. Now, I'm wondering how channels work. Back in the day, unless I'm wrong, you could create channels and lock them so only people with the password could come in.
How would it work with Diablo 3? Is it possible to make "private" games that only me and my friends can join? We do not want idiots coming and not playing correctly, stealing stuff, stealing kills, stacking MF and being useless.
I had my fill with WoW, I want to enjoy this game with the people I want, and not being forced to carry or deal with infantile adults.
There are currently no channels in D3, and you don't need them. Add their bnet email to your friends list and you can join/request to join their games very easily (or invite them to yours).

I see. But, how do I prevent random people from joining our games?

Thank you for your help in answering my question!
Blizzard has said it's chat system will be exactly the same, if not better than Starcraft 2. With that said, you can get a channel and name it anything you want. It doesn't show up on any lists, so unless someone knows the exact name of your chat channel, then they can't join your channel. So if you name your channel "OverlyPrivateFriends6969" only people who knew the name of "OverlyPrivateFriends6969" could join it. As far as games go, as people already mentioned, you can make it private meaning it's by invite only, or public meaning anyone can join.

Or you can creat a private game and allow only people you invite to join.
Private Games are what I sought.
Thanks for the info.
