Diablo 3 - Who's playing?

[Failedlegend]

I truly don't understand the reasoning behind requiring an internet connection to play the game, though.

Simple Anti-Piracy...which like always didn't stop them from breaking the online requirement and just inhibits the paying customers which in turn encourages piracy since the pirated version doesn't require Inet...I'll actually admit it's crossed my mind that using the cracked version would allow me to play it at the cottage.

The other reason...the real money auction house...this one is the second dumb reason...it would have been far too easy to add in...If you play the game offline you won't have access to the auction house...ever. Simple as that...but yeah...stupid...most likely activision's idea...conglomerates are bad...just ask Squaresoft what being taken over by Enix did to them...actually ask Mystwalker or Xseed most of the Heavy itters from Square are with them, retired or freelance now

That's the most sensible explanation of the nonsensical as we're likely to get, heh!

Demon Hunter is loads of fun, especially with Rapid Fire and twin hand crossbows.

My Rogue Mech can only dream...oh how I wish we had Hybrid PrEs so I could mix Rogue Mech w/ Arty Master Maker (Int = DMG & To-hit w/XBows FTW) and make the Self-Forged PrE it would be so awesome.
