The tcp/ip connection is working very well!

Me and cookface started earlier today and got to level 15 or so in not very long (cranking up the difficulty to 8 players with only us 2 playing, nice experience boost). We then managed to power level fut to level 14 this evening while killing Andarial as well. Still if anyone wants to join in we are now adept at power leveling :D

Also you don't need valid battle.net cd keys to play other tcp/ip, you just need a cd key that was valid (so using a key from the internet will work, you just wont be able to go on battle.net, which we aren't using anyway)

You don't even need a key for the original diablo 2, just find a key for LoD and you're good to go

This game is as awesome as ever :D

:ugly: <3

Yeah, Diablo 3 will hopefully be orgasmic for me. Diablo 2 LoD is my all time favourite game, spent my whole childhood playing it ;) Since my necro owns too much without me doing anything I might do a poison nova necro or a barbarian don't know which one yet.

I've spent countless hours on Diablo 1/2+lod :D
I even participated in ladder rankings every season, but didn't have the stamina to keep up with the neversleeping people.

Hope Diablo 3 won't disappoint!

Yeah I'm hoping the same thing, but then again Blizzard are a games company I've never been disappointed by, so I've got high hopes :mrgreen:

Let's hope it's out before 2014 :ugly: but with Blizzard you never know.

Well, according to Blizz, Barbarian will be the only Diablo II class to feature in Diablo III.

Hmm, in that case Blizz gave some deceiving information in an old interview. (I know, 'very' old interview)

edit: Monk wasn't a Diablo II class and it's a Wizard, not a Sorcerer (I know, more or less the same thing).

The fuck!? They're giving another, even crappier WoW expansion priority over Diablo III?

I actually know of a few stores where you could pre-order Diablo, so I was hopeful.

Orange, you do realize that Blizzard has more than one development team right? The guys who are doing Diablo III are not working on WoW at all.

Well in any case it won't be released untill 2011 and according to the interview they seem to be focussing more on Starcraft 2 and WoW.

Crovax, you do realize that major development studios rarely have completely separate development teams and usually take a flexible approach sharing specialists between projects? So regardless of how large a studio might be the core teams are actually small and compromised of people with generalized skills, while e.g. model, environment artists, composers and whatnot are working on several projects at once.
Since different assets are developed at different stages of the game's design process you'd have people with non-universal skills sitting on their asses for 3/4 of the time and not doing anything, while you'd still have to pay them. The downside of this is of course that you MAY very well delay one project if you start pushing another one, which is exactly what happened here and what even Blizzard admitted in interviews with the press.

Bottom line: don't patronize people if you yourself have no clue.

Please do provide a link to where they said it. Would love to read it, so I can get more insight in the wonderfull world of gamedevelopment. I reckoned that WoW has its own design team dedicated to it, seeing they also turn out new free content reguraly. I also thought that the IT market is rather flexible and companies attract people as they go about making a game, and then get rid of them afterwards again. Artwork and stuff seems like a good choice for that. But you are the expert, so please shine your light brightly! For I am unworthy in the presence of such a god of reviewing games.

Goddamnit even though i try, I cannot manage to put as much text down as you in a post -_-. But please I would love to read that/those interviews 8)
