...do you think it'll be as big as WoW? I heard that there are over 9 million players in WoW and I was wondering that if DIII comes out, will it be as big as WoW? I personally think that WoW was designed purely to pay for the development of DIII :smiley: Anyone else agree?
The WoW and Diablo player base overlaps significantly, D3 will not come out until WoW is in its early death throes. If Blizz releases D3 any earlier it would be bad business.
there is a multi multi multi million dollar cash cow sitting around for the some development company to produce the next big online ARPG with closed secure servers
hopefully blizzard isn't too stupid to realize this
those who want to play ARPGs don't want to play games where you "work hard for your items" (ie. all traditional MMOs including WoW)
this is why hellgate london failed hard, the devs couldn't even figure out what kind of game they wanted to make
as long as D3 isn't an MMO... and it shouldn't be, they need to keep the genre the way it is.... then there should be no reason to not come out with it. a diablo MMO seperate from D3 would be fine with me though so long as we get a true successor to D2 that isn't mythos or hellgate london.
It darn well better be another sequel, if it comes out. That's really all I have to say. I'm not really interested in what happened before Diablo I, or during either of the two games. I want to know what happened after the World Stone got smashed.

Yes Hellgate London was very big deception for me. I did not know that we need another FPS.
As for D III I think there is very big chance that they will go same way like they did with Starcraft II. Simply rework visual view of game and maybe make new exciting story.

QFT,
and seeing as how both are very popular, its unlikely we will see D3 anytime soon.
I'd say WoW will have a much quicker "death" than DII did. The simple reasoning is that WoW is pay to play, and eventually some other MMORPG will come out that people start paying for. Once that occurs, people will stop paying for WoW. I highly doubt WoW will ever actually die out completely, but its decline will be much sharper than that of DII.

I dont think blizz thinks about "bad buisness" if they came out with dIII right now they would still have millions of players, and if d3 was free they still would make so much money on selling the games they wouldnt be losing much at all. Seeing as most games that come out dont even see a 1/4 of the sales wow does or what d2 did. Thats just my 2 cents.
