    Sounds epic. Reminds me of the music in the Worldstone keep in D2. Sounds great for an epic dungeon of some type.

    Heres hoping for the return of some subtler, atmospheric music in more open areas, judging from what I've heard so far I think they will do great.

    I been lurcking around this forum for about a week and finally registered. I just wanted to add my thoughts in about this. Read before you flame please.

    There are many reasons I would like there to be a monthly fee, or at least wouldn't mind it.

    1. Keep the kiddies out. I am tired of 14 year old punks ruining my gaming experience. With a monthly fee, that is payable by credit card not game card, it would get rid of a lot of immaturity and would result in a better game. The game is rated M for a reason. Go watch your bob the builder and leave the gaming to the adults, thanks.

    2. If blizzard plans to regularly update this game like wow, then I don't mind one bit paying for the content. It would give extra money to blizz for new enhancements and whatnot. We were all complaining about how d2 hardly ever got updated. Well, why should they when they have no reason incentive to. Added levels, bosses, items, bug fixes, and world events is way worth the cost to me.

    There are many other reason however those are the main two.

    Also, something else i thought of. Let say they start out with a fee of 5-10 dollars a month. Thats cheap as hell. However, every time you are caught using a hack, cheat, or exploit they raise that price 5 dollars. It would be a incentive not to cheat because it would start effecting the wallet.

    Lastly, to the people who say they they cant afford a monthly payment. Honestly, if you cant afford 15 bucks max a month then you really need to get a better job or something and not play games. Im sorry, but if you are struggling to pay that small ammount of money you have other issues.
    Bring your lunch to work 3 days a MONTH and save that money.
    Dont spend 19 bucks at the movies and have that money.
    Dont buy a case of beer and you can have the money.
    If you are responsible with it you can easily find extra money.

    Well thats my two cents, flame on.


    I'd like to mention that I specifically signed up to these forums because this post was incredibly ignorant and misguided.

    Firstly, Why would blizzard want to keep kids out? It is true that they aren't usually as hard-core as you may like to play, but they have every right to enjoy the game online as you do. Personally I have no problem with playing alongside kids - I enjoy a fairly relaxed gameplay style.

    Also, as with D2, there have always been regular content updates, and I do not see any reason why this would not be true for D3. It has been a long time coming and Blizzard do take a lot of pride in their games.

    And as for your assumption that everyone can afford an extra $15USD a month is incredibly ignorant, I even find it borderline offensive tbh. Not everyone playing the game is in the USA using american dollars, and fact is there are some huge economic differences in some parts of the world that essentially mean that no, not everyone can scrape up an extra $15USD from the bottom of their couch when they have bills to pay, dinner to put on the table. But these people do still enjoy playing a decent game from time to time.

    Fact is I have a good amount of friends who simply could not afford to add another bill to their monthly expenses (living in a flat with 6 others who are all excited about the announcement), and it would really suck to miss out after waiting so long for a sequel.
