Blizzard confirmed to PC Gamer that Diablo 3 will be online only. Without an internet connection, you canÃ¢Â€Â™t play the game at all. Senior producer Alex Mayberry says there were many reasons for the decision, including the prevention of cheating. Since players can buy and sell items for real money, any way of cheating

These tactics are only fucking up gaming.

Razor and Reloaded will have a field day with this. That's just sad.

- A persistent friends list.
... as in a million other tools...
- Cross-game chat via the RealID system.
... as via a million other tools...
- Persistent characters that are stored server-side (no more having to play online once every 90 days, nor item duplication cheats).
... characters stored at my PC are persistent too, and anti-cheating is just a mere dream...
- Persistent party system.
... meant what? same thing as a persistent friendslist? wow...
- Player-versus-player and public game matchmaking.
... first time i see something awesome like this, who played PVP b4?
- Dynamic drop-in/out for co-op
... well, i prefer persistent coop Smile

- Larger item stash that gets shared among all of your characters (at the moment, up to 10)
... just a setting or done with intern mail-system in nearly every other game
- The auction house, outlined here.
... as seen in ever MMORPG, and not in need of been alwasy on...
- The Achievement system and detailed stat-tracking, both of which feed into the final point:
... which is totaly useless like the Banner-system....
- The Banner system, ...
... eye-candy with a simple statistic, impressive...

a big cake of bullshit instead of real reasons for urging the users to be allways-on. thx blizzard - R.I.P. as -=WolverinE=- said.

Thanks WilderWein. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have know how low have those fags from BlizzCrap have fallen. You've gotta be out of our fucking mind to give this kind of crap to loyal (see PAYING) customers. Oh well...sucks to be them. I've yet to own a BlizzCrap game...

As for others who like myself like a good old fashioned RPG, here's one:

Thanks for letting us know, you made my decision to pass this game very easy.
I will go with Torchlight 2. Chances are pretty good that TL2 will be superior to Diablo anyway.
