Because Diablo has never been like this through the franchise?
Why would they stray from that now...especially with all the anticipation from previous Diablo fans...
That would make no sense.

Don't get me wrong I'd LOVE if they did it, me personally...

Yes, if they do an adequate job on the upkeep of the game.
No, if they don't.

Last time I checked, it was confirmed it wouldn't be P2P.

Confirmed just after the announcement of development.

There is no way that Blizzard would pay 5bucks per month to have people play. D3 most likley not appeal to the younger age, and that is 70% of the population of a game like WoW,
WoW i think is like 10 bucks if you get the year long sub..
Diablo 3 will steal ALOT of the WoW community (not really steal since its the same company) but the more alike they make it, the more members will convert to play the new game.

Lol Diablo 3 will not steal a lot of the WoW community, especially considering Cataclysm, which will keep them occupied for a year or more until the next Expansion is announced.

/e The only thing it will steal is the Diablo community, which would probably consists of maybe 1mil.
Which will not affect the....11mil? 12mil? population of WoW.

Lol, its not going to be p2p, for sure, and it doesn't stop the bots lol, its just really bad on d2 since its been up for 10 years, ok?

Botting/Modding/Hackers have been a problem way before the 10 year mark.
But either way I really don't care about D2 any longer lol.
D3 will be coming out next year.

Botting/hacks wont be a big problem like in D2. D2 is 10 years old and blizzard has nearly stopped supporting it.

they already said it wont be p2p

lol /thread
lol

They haven't released any official information on that, as far as I've heard (that's not to say that I'm necessarily up-to-date on it). In the last interview I listened to, they were discussing the possibility of Diablo being put onto consoles, and in that same interview they wouldn't confirm what their finalized plans will be in terms of Diablo 3 and the payment schemes (the only solid information was that they may vary the payment schemes based on the region they are selling the game to). Could you please site your source if they have given confirmation on what you're saying.
