Well when it does come out I will be filling out the form. Im sure they will try and pick people that are involved with d3 forums. I will just be happy to hear about people in beta. Beta means that they are getting closer and closer to finishing. If I get into Beta GREAT. If I miss the chance than thats ok. Warlord, you have been a member since 2006 so if you got in and I didnt i would be ok with that lol. I think the beta will be comming out probably 6-9 months
Actually it will have nothing to do with people who post here, when they pick people for a beta they are looking for the widest range of computer specs. So they can get a feel for how the game will run.
Dude!! Stop busting his balls!! Some of us are in extreme situations. I moved out here to California to pursue my career in acting and modeling. I came with almost $7K. I am now $1900 in debt, and I am barely able to make my payments on my car and house that I'm renting with two friends. The payment is only $650 a month too!!
I am working anywhere from 40-50 hours a week at my job, and I am barely getting by. I would try to get another job, but then I wouldn't have any time to do my photo shoots or auditions.
I will probably be able to scrounge up the cash for the game, but for a monthly fee, I will just play single player.
Who the hell do you think you are? You come in here insulting someone and telling them how they need to handle their money. Screw you and go troll another forum.
Some people still live in their parents house and don't realize what its like to have bills.^_^
oh my god how about you read the entire thread so i dont have to defend myself on the same damn question 20 fucking times.
The M rating wont stop 14 year olds from buying the game. Never stopped me from buying mortal Kombat at 6. Obviously kids play WoW for other reasons but there's no way to stop kids from playing a game.
Considering that D3 is not an ever expanding world like WoW is, $15 would be overpriced. The most I would pay is $5 per month for an RPG of this nature. Even then, Blizzard is adequately positioned to host it for free.
And yeah, the initial reasons are just stupid.
I look at the fact I paid $5 for runescape at one point and D3 > Runescape so therefore I would go up to 10 here is my little mathematical equation.
Blizzard actually updated D2 regularly but over time slowed down, which only makes sense. Eventually WoW will get to the same point, as with every other online game they are not going to support it forever.
I prefer the Tetris inventory, however its not that big of a deal at least I'll have room for items now. I also saw a screen shot where potions stack which is GREAT!
I been lurcking around this forum for about a week and finally registered. I just wanted to add my thoughts in about this. Read before you flame please.
There are many reasons I would like there to be a monthly fee, or at least wouldn't mind it.
1. Keep the kiddies out. I am tired of 14 year old punks ruining my gaming experience. With a monthly fee, that is payable by credit card not game card, it would get rid of a lot of immaturity and would result in a better game. The game is rated M for a reason. Go watch your bob the builder and leave the gaming to the adults, thanks.
2. If blizzard plans to regularly update this game like wow, then I don't mind one bit paying for the content. It would give extra money to blizz for new enhancements and whatnot. We were all complaining about how d2 hardly ever got updated. Well, why should they when they have no reason incentive to. Added levels, bosses, items, bug fixes, and world events is way worth the cost to me.
There are many other reason however those are the main two.
Also, something else i thought of. Let say they start out with a fee of 5-10 dollars a month. Thats cheap as hell. However, every time you are caught using a hack, cheat, or exploit they raise that price 5 dollars. It would be a incentive not to cheat because it would start effecting the wallet.
Lastly, to the people who say they they cant afford a monthly payment. Honestly, if you cant afford 15 bucks max a month then you really need to get a better job or something and not play games. Im sorry, but if you are struggling to pay that small ammount of money you have other issues.
Bring your lunch to work 3 days a MONTH and save that money.
Dont spend 19 bucks at the movies and have that money.
Dont buy a case of beer and you can have the money.
If you are responsible with it you can easily find extra money.
Well thats my two cents, flame on.
I don't know if anyone has added rebuttals to your post, because I'm not reading through all these pages however.
1. A fee wont keep 14 year old kids out. Um look at wow?
2. Blizzard will upate the game for free just like they have with D2
3. How about they just ban the cheaters?
4. You should not have to make these sacrafices to play a game. The economy is tough right now and $15 a month adds up. Ever add 15x12? that's 180 thats $180 Dollars I could put towards my car or creditcard.
However I'm not all against your idea. I would be willing to pay $10 a month for D3 as its not as beefy as WoW but your argument for it is rather week.

$5 = Runescape
$15 = Wow
$5 < $10 < $15
