   I don't like the new activision strategy, there doing pre-order map packs with there shooters now so the game is broken out of the box unless you pre-order or throw down more cash. Why would blizzard join with these hacks? I am boycotting activision till they change there consumer rape policy.

   Blizzard and their games are highly rated here in poland, but I don't think that this idea with pay to play will lift off... The features would have to be so good, that they would knock private servers on the head (which I don't see happening), otherwise this is an up-hill struggle. From this point of view you could think that it is pretty pointless to apply a new battlenet, since it works and is still fully functional (Hider - you pay for the game, but not battlenet)

   Now you're even lower in my respect than EA games.

   As long as they only charge money for extra features i dont care but multi-player online must be free or i say F#(k your game lol
   
   here are some idea for blizzard on what to charge for:
   
   1. avatars
   
   2. HARDCORE RESPAWNING (lets face it any one who plays hardcore would pay 10$ for another chance even more so if they were like a lvl 90 and lag just F#(ked the shit out of them lol)
   3. trade market
   
   4. Not online play (they would lose over half of diablo players i know i wont pay to play)

   This is pathetic! Why should Blizzard charge for online play when evry other company in the freaking world doesn't? (xbox live excluded since Microsoft are money hungry pigs anyway)
   I don't mind paying for the game disc, but I won't stand paying 40 EXTRA bucks a month (thats what WoW costs in my country), so they can add useless features from time to time and fix and patch things that shoud have been corrected before the realease.
   I really hope they were just testing the waters with these comments beacause I would be really sad if I had to stop myself from enjoying a promising game (Diablo 3) because of those greedy bastards.
   Don't make me pirate your game Blizzard... I REALLY don't want to...
