i think bashiok and other blizzard crew members like thinking about it obviously for one reason, there company would make even more money. but the bottom line is.. blizzard has never charged for battle.net and never will, they believe in integrity just as they do a well polished finished product. i think this discussion steems from so many wow players on the forums.

anyone wondering why this is not on the official news thread...

ill tell you why

this interview took place almost ONE year ago

poeple shud stop worring about when this title will release

sink your teeth into this



Blizzcon O-nine - New Character announced
August twenty-ten - Realease date announced


so chill out

what really tripped me out playing d2 was that rare items "yellow" and unique items "gold" imo had there names backwards, everytime you found a "rare" item, it almost always had attirbutes that you would never find in that particular order on any other item in the game... imo making it unique. and whats not unique about "unique items" is that every one found them and often they only had slight differences in their attributes, making them rare.

i quess blizzard never thought that one through.

i am a strong beleiver that these terrorists are like the guerillas of vietnam. they are masters of propaganda. quote]


oh wow...

i dont even know how to respond.

get a clue?

your country, if you are an american, which i am as well, is the one and true super power in the world not only when it comes to the economy, and military, we are the greatest distorters of truth.

you think fox news is "on your side"? cnn? msnbc? if you do your a joke.

those are multi-billion dollar corporations that have thing in mind
backing their investors, which YOU are probably not one of, and getting the votes from the poeple that their selective partys need.

someone said it perfectly when he said

"the news media can not back a party for a single event, you have to do it right, and hand over your network for eight years."

if you ever supported bush, im so sorry you have no education

poeple like you are the reason poeple around the world do not respect this would-be great nation, or the poeple who reside with-in it

where will winners be posted and at what time after the contest is over? will you be notifing via PM or on the thread of the individual contest?

The Mason Azu-Ahem

All through-out the world of Sanctuary, there is one thing for certain we can all agree on, no matter which path you choose, or which forgotten tomb you dare enter, all around you are the spectacular sites of great cathedrals, wonderful palaces, and breath-taking monuments that display the multitude and array of life within this, the world of Sanctuary. Near the beginning of time, when man first settled these lands, sprouting like wild flowers in the Great Plains, grew great cities, towns, and villages. The men responsible for these astonishing feats of creation were the Guild of Masons.

Azu-Ahem was a young boy when his father went to fight for the Caldeum National Guard, although he never agreed with his father?s decision, his father being a mere carpenter, he supporting him none-the less. Azu?s father always wanted to be great, to fight for something worth his life. We can safely speculate, it was the one true gift Azu?s father had passed to him. Unfortunately the same determination that grew in Azu so bright like a burning star was the same curse like substance that would be the death of his father. When the call of duty rang aloud, Azu?s father answered. He fought with honor and a purpose but no one could have anticipated the bloodiness of what was to come, slain by Belial?s minions in the battle of west gate, Azu?s father was were a true warrior belonged, in the Heavens with the Great Architect.
Azu began his quest early in life when he joined the Guild of Masons as an entered apprentice, only to
fall short of his goal to become a mason, just like his father, becoming only a carpenter for contract hire. For months after Azu?s dismissal from the Guild, Azu sat around the city, begging for work, and seeing little but a dull future, when Azu?s mother pressed him to stay strong, that his calling would soon show itself. She showed him a book his father once held dear; it was a tomb of great adventures, mysteries and travel, tails of demons and beasts of horrific abomination. This was the journal of a great Mason, Leader and Grand Mason of the Guild. She told Azu of how it was passed down to his father from the Grand Master Asad-Ashraf, who took his skills of masonry to the depths of Hells, to fight for the light against the burning hells. This book was awe-inspiring to Azu, he would go on to finish his training at the Guild and become a Master Mason, to use this new found way of life, to finally avenge his father?s death.
