I know alot of us came to WoW because of our love of Blizzard. In Wolfin's case, it was Warcraft. Some came because of StarCraft. Me, I came because of Diablo.

AND NOW!!!

I noticed that earlier today. I watched the gameplay trailer. Now I only hope this PC can handle the game...and that they don't take TOO long from the release of this info to come out with the actual game like they've been doing with Starcraft II.

Re-installing 2 and expansion pack. Should have enough time to complete both before 3 comes out. (Nightmare level, at least)

I stopped playing because after playing LAN with friends I discovered b.net and it was great until hackers pretty much took over and it lost it's luster to me.

I think you'll have more than enough time to get through it. Like I said, if they're doing with D3 what they've been doing with Starcraft 2, we'll all be teased mercilessly with dribs and drabs of new info for a couple of years. I hate Blizzard. But I love their games, damnit.

lemme know if u guys want to start playing B.net again?

papalovebear · July 01, 2008, 10:07:21 AM

I haven't been on b.net in ages. Is it still free? And is D3 going to be using b.net still?

kick ass

Is the assumption then that everyone will move to Diablo 3 and WOW will be out?

Benggal · July 01, 2008, 12:43:51 PM

Doubtful, Kael. I imagine everyone who can will play D3 when it's out, but then they'll go back to WoW...probably within a month or so. Diablo isn't an MMO, and it has a very definite ending. I suspect the majority will play through it once and then be done with it for a while (until they get the urge to play again a few months down the road).

I fully expect the WoW player base to decline when Starcraft 2 and D3 are released, but I also expect most of them to come right back when they've "beaten" those games.

If anything will make a sizeable dent in the WoW player base, it'll most likely be the "next gen" MMO that Blizzard is currently working on.

I was actually talking to apoc about this in e-mail at work. The WoW expansion in my mind is to combat Warhammer which is supposed to be the "new" WoW type game. I think many WoW people will switch over, personally I don't plan to but I also haven't seen anything about the game. I think WoW is worried about that game and figure is the expansion doesn't take off like they hope they will rush out D3 to get more of the fan base going. If the expansion takes off like BC then they will put the D3 release back to soak up more $$.

D3 will not replace WoW in my opinion. They attract different players overall. My friends here where I live won't play WoW because of the monthly fee, but I garuntee they will be the firsts to buy D3.
