I never really got very far with DII (though I loved the original Diablo), but I'm fairly excited about DIII.<br /><br />@Jaydub: In retrospect neither is very surprising. I don't begrudge Blizzard taking a fair cut and trying to control the market a bit. The lack of any ability to play offline does irk me for a number of reasons, however.<br /><br />@Stabs: I'll be looking forward to see how well it pans out for you. I suspect that you could make some decent money in the first week if you power level and get out in front of the bell curve. Items that are merely uncommon at level X+Y might be tempting purchases at level X.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-73914884265358676762011-08-01T17:33:41.101-07:002011-08-01T17:33:41.101-07:00I suspect I'll be buying it on launch day, pow...I suspect I'll be buying it on launch day, powering up and selling items just to see how well I can do.<br /><br />It's kind of my turbo turbine points barb strategy from 2 years ago in reverse.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-30936445752430601622011-08-01T16:01:16.352-07:002011-08-01T16:01:16.352-07:00The cash shop does not surprise me one bit.

There have been numerous websites that sell in-game items for Diablo II so I don't begrudge Blizz for trying to get in on some of that action.<br /><br />The constant onlinconnectivityty is something that Blizz did for Starcraft 2 so again not a surprise.Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-89388460330083110402011-08-01T15:32:04.686-07:002011-08-01T15:32:04.686-07:00I will some day play Diablo III.

And I do like what I'm reading about how the game has been changed up.<br /><br />But if there is a schedule conflict between Diablo III and Torchlight II, I will absolutely be playing Runic's game first.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.com
