Too be honest, i think if they make it pay-to-play it wouldn’t make it so great, and making Diablo 3, an MMoRPG? i don’t think it should be done, everyone loved the Diablo 1-2 Solo, keep diablo as an Open MMO, and a non-pay to play.

Besides that unlike any Solo play yours will be different if you have the factions

Heaven vs. Hell. deciding factions instead of just 1. it’ll be tight.

man if they are gonna make a d3 and have it be a mmo, id like to see the characters become multi gender. as well as allowing you to alter armor details and tatoos( like the blue on the barbs head)

Then make it so that there are 2 armies, heaven and hell, and then take a note from fable. make it so the decisions you make in the game and during quests will define your alleigence. then make alleigence-specific armors and weapons. then have all the diablo 2 classes, plus a few more, and you will instantly need to make 2 of every kind/ 1 good 1 evil. they should also have your features change depending on how angelic or demonic your character is.

IF they put SOMETHING like that into an MMORPG then i would glady play the game

I think it would be interesting to see a Diablo MMORPG, but I agree with how the others said it. I would have to say like how Warcraft became World of Warcraft when it made the leep, and so Diablo will have to become something like World of Diablo or something along those lines.

Also, I don’t agree with paying for the prescrition to play. Once I fork out $50 at the counter, I’m hoping to go home and play it when I want at my leisure and not worry about it burning a hole in my pocket in the process. As a college student, I barely got a lot of time to play the game, let alone the money to be able to cover the charge for a full year round. Especially with the gas prices so far up. So yes, why should I pay for a game at a monthly rate when I won’t even be able to get my money’s worth out of it.

Now this is one reason I like Diablo 2. It’s one of the first faster paced dungeon crawlers out there, and runs absolutely free. Not only can you play alone, but you can get a few friend in on it yourself. And the Blizzard server helps verify a legitimate character so you don’t have to worry about power gamers and hackers. When Lord of Destruction came out, I chipped in to get that even. Which really enhanced the gameplay and content. But if I had to pay anymore than that just to play Diablo 2, I wouldn’t of been playing for as many years as I have.

So as a Diablo 2 fan, I dearly hope that whatever is done for the 3rd game, that it comes out with nothing more than the front counter charge. If you wish, tighten down your CD-Keys and make it so you have to activate it. That way any CD-Key that gets used, you know you have received money for it. On top of that, make sure that every CD-Key can only have a single instance of it logged into the server at a time. This should help control the whole Torrent frenzy.

More than likely Diablo 3 is Blizzard’s Next MMO.
If you look at it, there were hints of Blizzard’s Next Generation MMO - which could only be Diablo 3.

For all you people saying that you wont play if its pay-to-play … I call BS on that. 15 bucks a month aint much at all … just have a couple of beers less in a month and you’re good to go.

Reason why Blizz would pull out a Diablo 3 MMO is pretty simple. The may be making tons of cash right now, but with other games hittin the Market, they;re sure too loose out on player Base.

So They Milk this cash cow untill its bleed dry, then they toss out a new Game. Pretty smart if u ask me.

Sorry to say, NO DIE HARD Diablo Fan will not play D3 if its an MMO - they’ll at bare miniumum try the game out - hit a max lvl and see what end gaming is all about. Blizz aint stupid, they arent gonna make D3 like WoW - that wud just be WoW with different Character Models.

If they make a good character creation, I’ll play, I hate the character creation in WOW, along with other things, and to many kids play WOW as well. They should make diablo the MMORPG 18 , but it would be hard to do so. I would prefer to see Starcraft the MMORPG, that would rock.

To DFan I didn’t take offence, that is why these forums exist, to debate. The only thing I know is that if the game turns out sucking eggs then I will always be able to go back to D2 LoD. I love that game.

thatS why gamers and game reviewers coined the word diablo-esque.which means it has both solo and multi. the viewport is isometric. the hack and slash. the items and stuffs. and all that describes what is diablo. THAT IS DIABLO. BUT TURNING IT INTO MMO NOW THEY WILL CALL IT WOW-ESQUE. DIABLO-ESQUE OR WOW-ESQUE. SOME THINGS DO CHANGE. BUT I LIKE THE OLD ONE.

to Joshua Bailey:
sorry that it offenced u after all.
but u have misunderstood, the old feelings i said was not just for the classic feeling, but included the random items drop, the pattern of monsters, the story lines, the skills threes, the big bosses, the control on characters, n many many many many…..more.
so we r in the same opinion, ok?
i was up sad with the changes between Warcraft3 n WoWarcraft, i dont want it to happen on Diablo this time.

to others:
can anyone answer my question just now?
please, thanks.

hey, by the way, something i want to ask.
i heard that hellgate london was by the creator of Diablo2.
so if Diablo3 come out to be mmo, n i cant help myself missing the old feelings of Diablo2. can i try to find the feelings in hellgate london?
any one that have played hellgate london can tell me that???
my mom gave me permission to choose one only, n i have been waiting for Diablo3 instead of hellgate london.
PLEASE, THANKS.

Not that I think of it that is true. Traditional MMOs do take away a lot if not all of the classic feel that Diablo 2 would have. We are just saying that if they could make the game that way that would be great. I know they won’t, but they should consider releasing it as a solo game with online capabilities, much like D2LoD. We’ll just have to see what happens when the game is released.

no offence, but the free mmo servers everyone has been talking about is a joke.
do u people know how much it costs to invest in any mmo servers?
n the money poured into it for maintenance? ie to make the servers run.
it would be a very big project that sometimes they hire a few other companies to do it.
u want that for free??! r u kidding?

n those who r expecting to get some old feelings that remind u of the Diablo2 in the new mmoDiablo3, save it! U WOULDN’T!!!
in mmo games, there will not even be a proper story line.
now i m thinking about the possiblity if Diablo itself may not even exist in mmoDiablo3, who knows?
maybe the only similarity between Diablo2 n mmoDiablo3 is that their names contain the world ” D i a b l o”.

no free servers, no old feelings of old Diablo.
final conclusion: mmoDiablo3 SUCKS…

Making it an MMO would be a bad idea, at least as far as charging for it. If they make the next Diablo an MMO, they should make it so thier are more recognizable features of the past games and expansions. Like the doomed feeling you get is a great idea to keep. I mean it gives the player that extra boost to get themselves out of a clinch. They need to keep the random weapon/item drops, don’t list that you will get a weapon or item by killing this beast or demon. Quest items are different but try to make it a surprise like, finding the sets on D2 and LoD makes the game worth replaying over for a millionith time. Random unique boss’s and quests are also a huge part of this game. What I find to be the best part of the battle.net function is the fighting creatures that increase in strength for every person on your game. This gives the players more of a challenge which is an essential part of any online game MMO or not. Besides having to pay for it, the massive raids that occur on the MMOs take out a lot of the fun, thats why they should keep the number of members per party, to a minimum as well as only allowing one party no more than two conduct an attack on certain area, creature, or boss. The creators should also keep free servers for those of us that want to sample the games basis. All I’m saying is that if D3 is an MMO, the serious players like most if not all of us here, need to decide if we will accept it as part of the Diablo phenom or as another failed sequal to the great game that is DIABLO.

if they want to make it mmo, DONT name it DIABLO. &#%$!

Please not another MMO. As many have said, the single hero battleing evil aspect is the core of the Diablo feel. how many times have I died from Diablo’s red lightning and come back to face him again, getting help from a bunch of high lvl players will totally ruin the feeling.

about it being MMORPG that tarkus mentioned….we cant say for sure if it will success or not…i used to be a WoW player..kinda sickening and hectic at the beginning wit all the quests and friends partying wit u…but as soon as they changed the pvp system u could clearly tell how many ppl quit playing it…the point is wit just one fuck up, the whole game goes down and if diablo3 doesnt keep the old styled enviroment that sucked us all into it wit the old diablos, i can tell, it will definetly go down shortly after release, but still MMORPG P2P SUCK ASS, F2T FOR REAL….

Seems to me a number of people are quite shortsighted. I’ve heard from a fairly reliable source that D 3 has been worked on for years and will indeed be a MMORPG (not quite as certain as the fact that the game is in the works). I’m not sure why many think this is a bad idea. The game will be released at the earliest in two to three years. At that point WoW will be about six years old. By then, many people will have tired of it. Only the true addicted diehards will remain. I can almost guarantee you that if D 3 is a MMORPG it will be a huge success. There are many, myself included, who don’t like the Warcraft genre and would jump at an opportunity to play Diablo online. You can’t just rest your lorals on one game. In six years WoW would have seen it’s time and there will be a huge craving for something new. The old concept of RPGs (hack and slash the same enemies over and over) has come and gone. It’s clear the new trend is MMORPG.

yo…..if u make diablo 3 like WoW the main key is to keep the story line right u mess that up and u lose about 60% of fans and players and if u make people pay no one will even buy the game and if it is an mmorpg u would have to make races like in wow and no half-ass races like u would have to do sorces amazons necros barbs etc. etc. and u would have to make sides for the races of the game will be plain out boring and if u do pvp make that like in wow wit the battle grounds and all or just click on a char and request a duel so if u do it that way i think it will be awsome and i would buy it…….but yall barly even read these so just saying this gives me hope and if u do read this e-mail me i want to no wut u think my e-mail…….Aharris_a@yahoo.com

I agree, if Diablo turns to MMO; I’m gona either stick to D2, or just get a life and quit gaming all together lol

Oh ya it needs more BIG quests not like kill 10 demons which is predictable for WOW. I also needs Bigger world too…..come on blizzard, think BIG!

By: Tanner Sears

Tanner Sears — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 20:23:09 +0000

OK, ok d3 could be ok as an MMO, because I like the idea of choosing good or evil for my characters on a Diablo, although if its just gay little quests like on WOW all day I want no part. Oh and I DO NOT WANT TO PAY 60 BUCKS A MONTH TO PLAY IF IT IS SEMI DISAPOINTING AS AN MMO………w/e look on the bright side…

One thing is for sure Diablo needs to have more quests and a larger world. It also needs more cinematics/ grander story line. I want the story to get somewhere… following the wanderer was Boring. I wanted to see paladins sorceress barbs zons & necros in the cinematics! I wanted to get to know them better. Also make the items more adaptable/expandable so that a skilled player needs to have brains and not time to be a good player. I hate how its always the players who have no life who own.
