simply put: yay

COOL!

So when do I get my terran marine class? :D

Sweet Warden’s back! I actually loved it… just didn’t think that they ran it enough on D2, they should of also updated on a weekly basis.
More worlds in the Diablo universe?..... no, I like Diablo with only Sanctuary. Warcraft was great, but I think they started making things up from other worlds way to easily… With the whole sandwich of Diablo, it made it simpler in the fact of origin driving some compeling character and story development…. Well, can’t make a petition for them to change that I guess. I’ll just have to hope they keep to the story of Diablo… Man, I’m hoping that they keep the Burning Hells the purest of evil and the other worlds are like Sanctuary and not these infinite beings like High Heavens/ Burning Hells.

Freakin’ great news. As someone who rebuilds his computer a lot (and ends up reformatting HDDs) I’m happy to hear about no DRM. Nothing worse than having to wait on hold for half an hour in order to install a game you already paid for. GG Blizz.

best… news… ever! (for d3, of course ) I was actually quite worried about this, since I did not buy (and did not pirate to play) Mass Effect, which I was waiting for months, because of EA’s attitude. I had not taken the decision when I saw the treatment Bioware was giving to DRM topics on its board (erase them or move to the “off-topic” board that no one sees, and locking them). After that, I immediately decided to not buy nor play anything EA or Bioware related. Diablo 3 is another matter entirely though… I would be VERY MUCH *SAD* if something like that came to happen. Great news!

SoulSpectrum,

I agree with you. Parallel Universes?! Other dimensions?! C’mon… I prefer that they stick with the Heaven x Hell and Sanctuary as the “sandwich”.

But, too soon to complain, maybe they manage to do it right. I see in this a chance to expand the War beyonf our world, like, dimension x dimension, but it would be a thing for a Diablo 4 or 5, not D3. Imagine Angels, Demons and Humans putting their differences aside for a moment and fight side by side against enemys from other worlds, changing the entire perspective.

Oh dear God, Yes!  This (DRM) was the One issue that would have prevented me from buying D3 (I haven’t bought any EA crap since the installation limit DRM was implemented… RIP Bioware :(  ).

Definitely great news, I am glad to see some software companies get it.  I can not say I am surprised though, considering how Blizz offered up the online registration and downloads.

In the expansion, you’ll be able to play as the people of one of those other worlds, who just crash landed from space in a magical fortress they promise isn’t a spaceship - honestly - in an attempt to capture the orcs that just came in through a stargate.

Seriously, they ruined TBC with this alien-spaceship-laser-crystal garbage and they will do it again?

I think the “worlds” comment is being blown out of proportion a bit. Here’s the actual quote:
Pardo: We’re definitely doing an acts system ...

Wired: With entirely new worlds?

Pardo: Yeah. I don’t think we’ve announced how many there are because we’re still talking about it.

There is no definition of “new worlds” and Pardo seems to have either not noticed or glanced over the semantics a bit there. Pardo seems to be answering about acts, and assuming that’s what was meant by “worlds”. Or “new worlds” could be Heaven, which would be new to the Diablo series.
