You missed the point. I'm not advocating it be a pay-to-use service. I simply said it wouldn't surprise me if it were. The point was to kick off a discussion concerning what would be some nice features of a redone Battle.net. My apologies though for mentioning that as I know its a touchy topic for most.
Jay Wilson: "I can’t really talk about Battle.net but I will say, Battle.net will not be a background. It’ll be huge, the next version will be absolutely Blizzard’s focus. Everyone is going to be thrilled when they see the kind of stuff we have planned! It feeds into our overall focus of providing a really great service for our players."
With Battle.net being redone it wouldn't surprise me to see some sort of membership fee. Perhaps not just for D3 but maybe a community service system for all their big IP's. With or without it'll be nice to see it redone. The original creators of it are the founders of ArenaNet and Guild Wars. Its been virtually untouched since its creation.
What are some features you all would like to see? An improved Steam type deal? Voice chat? Thoughts and concerns?
