Well I guess a lot of us will never know because of Blizzard's always-on DRM.

Wow!

Cue the masses saying Notch is still the antichrist!

Sounds like some people don't know how simple and almost invisible the Companion pets were in D3. They zipped around picking up gold, that's it. They were tiny and were barely visible. They did nothing else.

In principle, I agree that people are (again) vastly over-reacting...

With that said, however, I'm a bit confused about the pets. If all the pets did was pick up gold, why did the CM describe them as if "they were mandatory to maximize play efficiency"? It's hard to see picking up gold as something that mandatory.

I'm in the camp that believes the pets will show up as some sort of micro transaction goody. They already do it successfully in WoW, so why not in DIII?

"lol, look at that noob. He hasn't bought his $40 pet on the blizzard store yet, haha."

Tons of legit mods were on that site, hope they come back somehow after the illegal stuff gets removed.

Where could Notch possibly sell this crap?

I watched the trailer and I'm sold - I'll be buying it. I may not play it much until my next business trip but this game looks like good fun.

Also, Dev, thanks for the mention of Revenge of the Titans. That also looks like a game I'll purchase. However, it is currently $12. Does it ever go on sale?

It goes on sale every now and then, I picked it up for like $4 at some point. I like it but it's not a $10 game to me YMMV.

Really looking forward to this game, it looks like a breath of fresh air for MMOs.

Now if you'd just cancel your life this world would be a smarter place.

So if I killed myself, the world would be 'smarter' for it? Wow, I bet you have some proud parents.

In a PvP environment (which this was), spawn camping is an acceptable tactic. It has been in DAoC, EQ, Wow and others. To counter extensive grieving a quality developer prevents this by offering no Valor / Honour after the 2nd or 3rd kill or guards that protect spawners. So realistically, this is a developer issue not a player one. One that Bioware has learnt in the past few days.

It also appears that to the fanboy's, EA / Bioware can do no wrong. And hey thats fine, your opinion is yours to cherish. But quote me, this game is doomed. I'd say in a year it will be Free To Play and most of its revenue will come from Micro Transactions.

And we all know that posts on the internet are never just people being idly facetious.

Coming from Fibrocyte, they're almost never factious.

This guy seems like he deserves to be in prison.

Yeah because we all know that words, and 'reputation' automatically equals guilt. Keep sucking at the media tit, and they'll tell you all they want you to know. Including that people are guilty before something goes to trial, and that they can shut and seize something without due process.

Standing some 6'7" tall and reportedly weighing around 300 pounds (136 kg), Dotcom appeared to revel in his outlaw reputation.

Personalized number plates on some 20 vehicles seized from the site included KIMCOM, HACKER, STONED, GUILTY, MAFIA, GOD and POLICE, according to the indictment.
