no there is no monthly fee...

they have already answered that question

[DIion93]

blizzard makes 65 million USD per month just off of WoW subscriptions, not including they still sell minitures, cards, D2,D1, SC1, WoW, WoW:tbc, and WoW:wotlk if they make this game ptp im gunna find them, ALL OF THEM

[TheStormPulse]

My favorite game growing up was Arcanum - but the game i played the most was Diablo II. Now Boyarsky is god damn lead designer on DIablo III. Nerdgasm

[Fury5Red]

IMO it´s gonna be the best game ever. I played D2 and WoW, D3 combines both and takes the best out of them. For 10 years they are already developing it. No chance that they gonna fail. Unfortunately we have to wait at least until end of 2011.

[MichaelVaracalli]

I bet they already started working on something as funny and twisted as a Cow Level.

[HELLZORBLADE]

this game looks good. But this F.U.C.K.I.N.G waiting is KILLING ME. UNLEASH IT NOW!!!!

[InuYashaMart]

I dont mind the stat preset, the runes looks really awesome... but i feel like they will need a lot of balancing because some people will find a certain rune better than an other ... im sure of that ... some fixed build too...

1:27 check how the curtain reacts to his weapon swing, sweet

@blesstehfall The reason I pointed out that it was only an opinion was not to convey that it was the right way of thinking. But that you may be right in thinking it'll play better using the current system with a max of 4. Instead of giving up on making the max 8 or 5 because they think it looks bad I would have rather them change it slighty so it plays better with larger parties. I knew it would look like WoW when the team that did the first x-pac announced they were working on D3.

[blesstehfall]

@RemoteDuck well good thing that your not making this game

Your opinion doesnt matter on the 4 people cap.

Bliz has said it themselves that it looks horrible with 5 people and it looks like wow since wow took things from D2

[RemoteDuck]

@blesstehfall sorry you don't agree with my opinion. but it still stands that only playing with three other people is retarded. imo. i'll be wanting to play with more than 3 of my buddies at one time. I'll sit this game out for the first few months. see what people think of it. Looks like it will play too much like WoW.

@RemoteDuck

4 is not retarded.

they tried with 5 but the screen was to messy. With everyone attacking at the same time the screen gets to messy with 5. But with 4 you can see when you attack
