There has to be some other reason other then blizzard is the best that keeps me playing. I have never played a game 1/10 the time of that I played diablo 2 for. It has to be subliminal messages.

Does Blizzard put subliminal messages in their games to make you play them day and night for years?

Don't order me to discuss something, with that smug look prancing about your face. It's really disrespectful, and completely suggests that your post lacks in quality because it doesn't have enough initiative to make us discuss the topic without actually telling us to do so. Next time, please consider your usage of the word "discuss", thank you.
in diablo 1 when you get to lvl 16 diablo says "eat your vegetables and brush after every meal" backwards.
also in warcraft 3 if you click on t he demon hunter hero he says "i love green trees" backwards.
anyway if there are any subliminal messages in blizzard games that cause the player to become addicted, i'm only susceptible to the ones in diablo and diablo ii
never cared for any other blizzard game

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.

I think what you said here was very mean. I also feel that he wasn't being disrespectful at all, perhaps it is not inclusive of additional vebage on how it wants you to elaborate, but i dont think there was a smug look prancing about his face. My opinion is that your attack in itself was disrespectful and is what i would call trolling.
Back on topic: Anyways in my personal opinion, I dont think there was any subliminal messaging going on, but i have to admit, if they are I am totally hypnotized!! I have been playing Diablo 2 for years as well and i like it because it is a top notch RPG game the rewards you for investing time into it and gives you lots of things to look forward to. Not onlly that, but you can rant on to your friends of how cool your charater is and sometimes rub it in that "my character is ohh so much better than your character! "

Lol, yeah, that was a bit of a trolling attitude there, but don't you think the OP is trolling too?
If he's serious: No, I don't think Blizzard puts subliminal messages in their games for you to play them so long. I've played Diablo 2, CS 1.6, CS:S, and TF2 for hours. As you can see, only 1/4 is a Blizzard game.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Thank you tempor for backing me up. I am great. Of course I didn't mean "discuss" to be condescending or lack interest in my topic. I am the best. I started this thread more as a joke, seeing as how I doubt Blizzard actually puts subliminal messages in their games. All should bow to me. I just find it odd that I can play D2 on and off for 10 years and play WoW for 4 years when I never have played any other game near that amount of time. Send me money This obviously shows how great a company Blizzard is and how great their games are. Sometimes I just sit here and wonder WHY?

ha ha, all should bow to scyberdragon. Did I just say that? No, I don't think they put subliminal messages in the game. I think the messages they do put in there are pretty obvious. "Not even death can save you from me now."
Well I didn't realise what was in your message till I quoted you, but to be honest I think the reason is that the game is very simple, quite repetitive, but not in a way that makes you think so due to the random nature of item drops and monster spawns and randomisation of dungeons.
I mean, take the quest system and difficulty system for example, the first time you play the game you play it, then you get nightmare, which is same thing except harder, then hell. Then, you have 7 different character classes, all completely unique, which you will want to play, then, getting lvl 99 is so ridiculously time consuming (for example it will take you roughly 800 Hell baal runs to lvl from lvl 95 to 96) that you never feel that you 'completed' your character. Then, you can always try to play the same character in a different way (A cold or lightning sorc is the most obvious example). Then, the search for better items and gear is always there. The randomness of the dungeons means that each time you enter them it's different thus you feel as if it's a totally new playing experience every different class and every different difficulty level.
Then, the game operates on short-term based rewards. You can always say "I'm going to keep playing this session till I get deckard cain or I finish act 2 or I get that p shako helm."
You set long term goals as far as character development goes (so your skill progression and skill trees and abilities) and gear (will it be an mf character, a pvp or pvm, thus what gear will it need to be awesomesauce) and you set short term goals that are relatively easily completed "I'm going to do pindleskin and mephisto magic find runs for a few hours in the hope of getting good items or I'm going to complete this quest and get Deckard Cain"
Now, all of this doesn't mean that the game isn't fun, but that's the way it works and one or a combination of or all of these things are probably what makes it fun for you and makes you come back to it.Give me your p shako helm

"A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B."
The entire concept of subliminal messages stands on thin ice, in my opinion. It has never been scientifically proved that backmasking really has any effect on people. Even though this thread is more than likely just a joke, still, my post is still relevant.

Don't order me to discuss something, with that smug look prancing about your face.
It wasn't an order, it was an invitation.
On topic, I don't think Blizzard would actually do that. I could see EA doing it though, considering all the bros keep buying all their shitty football games.
