Diablo III

I had the exact same urge. Fortunately (?) it appears one of my install disks is damaged, so no D2 for me.

Actually, they have or are going to have a new service on their servers where all you need is the registration code and you can download the software from there and play without needing the disks. They're going to be doing this for all their older games IIRC.

Besides it could be worse. I literally had my D2:LoD disk explode in my computer's CD-rom drive. That was a mess picking out the pieces.

Holy cow it takes destruction seriously!

Blizzard is going to own me for years. First starcraft 2, now D3.

I can't wait to get my hands on a witch doctor

I hope Diablo 3 is like the previous Diablo ... that is, free-2-play online.

Then again, it would be foolish of Blizzard to pass up such an opportunity for increased revenue and profit.

I have a feeling that if they tried to charge for playing the game online, since it is not a MMORPG... the community support for Diablo III would evaporate.

I seriously doubt they're going to charge for online play with either Diablo III or Starcraft II. With the money they're raking in from WoW, they don't need to and while the online play is one of the best aspects of the older games, it's not the sort of thing people will pay for. Since it doesn't offer anything new or the kind of expansive world that most MMORGs offer.

Wait..what? I heard that Diablo 3 was probably close to being announced but I totally missed this.

Cool, I just hope Blizzard keeps to its heritage and makes the game so it will run on aging machines. My PC now that Im an old married man is looong overdue for an upgrade.

But its good to see D3 coming

Did, then remembered why I uninstalled it the first time I tried. No widescreen support...

Pretty sure they will.

It has always been part of Blizzard policy to make games that run on an average computer, and also a strong selling point for them.

Bye

It's really not 'my thing,' but my son (20) loved D1 and D2 and has already gathered the funds for D3.

Given his powerful internet/computer gaming addiction and his incredibly high level of sophistication, that says a lot.
