Ok guys let get this straight.

If you QQ about paying 10$-15$ a month to pay to play for a game, I think your living in like 1995 first of all.

The reason im saying this is, I dont want Diablo 3 to end up like Diablo 2. I.E, scammmers,bots,cheat,hacks,dupes,spam,non english speakin people who are geting paid 1$ a week in a sweatshop because we want that bad ass item.

Ill go into detail. When a company stops selling there game in mass amounts, they no longer are making decent $$ to support that game, whatever it may be. So charging a small amount every month gives them ability to support it, and solve the problems such as cheaters, viruses, hacks, gold farmers wtf ever...... AND ADD NEW CONTENT, AND FIX THE OLD OFC

I personally also wouldnt want the guild wars approach either,...... coming out with an expansion every time someone cries so they can support there non paying game.

If Diablo 3 is not pay to play, I give it a few months before it turns into the shit hole that d2 did.

I love how the only period in this entire post was used incorrectly. Lol

Games can make money without pay to play. As stated before, some games, like your example of Guild Wars, have in-game stores that cost real world cash and allow for enough income over the years to keep up mantenaince. I also don't believe that pay to play would do anything to stop bots, and especially not scammers, etc.

I agree with it being P2P.

The people arguing that it will lose more players than it will gain are obviously wrong.  Whether it is P2P or not, D3 will have more players than D1/D2 ever did, mainly coming from the players of WoW I believe.  Having to pay will not decrease spam bots, hackers or anything of the sort so I see no valid point in that area of discussion.

The main reason I enjoy P2P is the fact that it will have less childish players.  Yes, there will always be a lot of immaturity in P2P games but not nearly as much which is always good in my eyes.

Lastly, Diablo 3 will most likely not be P2P unfortunately.  They will still be making a lot of money from WoW, especially with the release of Cataclysm.

I don't think you realize the money mountain blizzard is already sitting on, they don't NEED to charge monthly to support d2.  Hell, just a $25 MOUNT in wow made more than quite a few AAA games ffs.

Because they don't have employs to pay and servers just fix themselves. You don't know wtf you are talking about.
