Re: This just in...
I initially came to the single player forum because I wanted a challenge playing Diablo 2. I enjoyed playing on Battlenet. When all the dupes and hacks showed up, it took the fun out of it for me. Being able to play on a cheat free battlenet sounds good to me. I like competing on a ladder. The thought of selling items intrigues me. None of this matters if the game itself isn't fun, challenging, or lacks replayability.
If they get it just right, I think it could be really good. And if people here come on board, I'm sure we can make use of password protected multiplayer games and such. We're upset now because playing single player affords the most fun and challenge. But if the game is like that, only online, I think it will be received well. Does that make it okay? No, I frequently travel and will not be able to play the game on long bus rides, etc. But I'm willing to live with that if the game is compelling enough.
