In Diablo III, players take on the role of one of five heroic characters -- barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, or demon hunter -- and engage in pulse-pounding combat with endless legions of evil. As they undertake an epic quest to rid Sanctuary from the corrupting forces of the Burning Hells, players will explore diverse and perilous settings, grow in experience and ability, acquire artifacts of incredible power, and meet key characters who’ll join them in battle or aid them in other ways.
Diablo III was built from the ground up to leverage the full functionality of the Battle.net platform, which delivers powerful matchmaking and communication tools, allowing adventurers to seamlessly join forces for exciting cooperative play. Battle.net also provides a secure infrastructure for the Diablo III auction house, a feature-rich marketplace that Sanctuary’s heroes can use to trade their hard-earned treasures. Players will be able to buy and sell weapons, armor, and other valuable items in the auction house in exchange for in-game gold. Players will also have the option to receive real-world currency for auction house sales, which they can apply to their Battle.net Balance for the purchase of a variety of digital products through Battle.net, including Diablo III auction house items, or cash out through a third-party payment service such as PayPal™ in most regions. Further details related to the auction house will be announced in the coming weeks.
If that cut off wasn't there you'd have long running "arguments" appearing there on the front page.

Semi-random, silly question: With 200+ posts, as recent as today, why isn't this topic listed under the "Popular Threads" on the left of the site?

I had one of my PC's with a corrupt set of install files so I had to redownload... it's pulling down strong at 3 mbs and almost finished. BTW... you can install now... just can't play.

I have two kids at home that are going to MP with me through the game for the first time through (step-son 18 years old and my little one who turns 5 on the 15th... LOL he thinks they are releasing D3 specifically for him). All three of us played the open beta and had a blast. my 5 year old actually played through the whole thing on his own (he's a bit of a computer genius though).Ventura wrote on Mar 19, 2012, 07:55:
Fuck, who am I kidding?
I'm gonna go out and buy two copies of this bad boy on release day. Been watching some good Youtube gameplay vids, and it's definitely my cup of tea. Just hope the online requirement doesn't make the experience suck with lag and/or getting dissed.
Why two? I've read someone else say the same!
