Diablo 3 has arrived.

The cheap sticker with the CD key faded off my D2 disk. I'd have to find a way of extracting the CD key or find a keygen.

I played it again a little this weekend because of this thread and out of nostalgia. No way I make it through the whole game, but it was sort of fun for a few hours.

Any idea on a release date?

They haven't even announced a release date on Starcraft 2 yet. Could be a loooooong wait.

Played D1 and D2 for many, many years....Looks like I'll have a new addiction soon....

I recently pulled out my old LOD characters from mothballs, (yes, been logging in every so often to keep at least one account fresh), and noted that there are still tens of thousands playing D2 online. Over seven years old, and still a strong online community.

D1 and D2 have stolen many hours of my young life away from me.

it's Blizzard

release date mean nothing

but when they put out such quality consistently, pushing back release dates never seems to hurt them or their games

I cannot wait for SC2!!!!

I really only play with one other person so more people would be cool, especially saints fans.

Time to bump this, seeing as it's Blizzcon, there is a release window, and the beta is out there.

I was looking through the site, and Diablo 3 is now going to have a regular in-game auction house, as well as an auction house that trades in real currency (via paypal). I think the idea is that if you're going to have all of these 3rd party gold farmers/sellers, you may as well bring it in-game so it's legit, as well as Blizzard getting their cut.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Games whose fun-factor/success rate can be affected by how much you spend are not good. Then again, Blizzard has a point with taking the 3rd parties out of the loop.

It's not good for me - I'm a sucker for microtransactions. I can't help myself.

And the Blizzcon cinematic:

and now Diablo may come to console: Blizzard talks console controls for Diablo 3 | Joystiq

I would be pretty surprised if that happened, considering Blizzard's history, but it would be an interesting move.

It does seem unlikely, but that is where the money is these days. PC gaming is really a niche market compared to console gaming. The average person, including me, just lacks the technical knowledge to keep up with what is required to do PC gaming. As a result only people who really know what they are doing are able to really do PC gaming and the majority of the money goes to console games.

Is that so?
