Yes it's true and it's a good thing,
.
Its not a good thing. Personally i only play single player games when i have no internet access for any reason.

Its not an effective antipiracy measure either, Assassin's creed II proved that nicely.

Its basically saying "Oh you are not constantly connected to the internet ? Well fuck you ! Sincerely, Blizzard".

it is a good thing, its not about piracy, its about hacks,cheats, if d3 was offline people can hack into their warriors, give them strong attributes then go online without being detected, now you can't thanks to being online all the time

Ruroken wroteI have a tiny question about Diablo 3. As i heard before, there won't be an option to have "LAN" games and instead friends are forced to play together online. My question is, if i purchase a copy of Diablo 3, can i install it on my friends pc and play it there or is there a serial number for each copy that will eventually be locked on that specific pc?
Your serial number is tied to an online account on battle.net. The game files, which is the client you use, are "free". What you're paying for is the license to play, not the files themselves. Hence, as long as you have purchased a Diablo 3 key and tied it to your battle.net account, you will be able to play on any computer with diablo 3 installed.
Thanks for the info :)

This, well said.
Has anyone checked out the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) with Diablo 3, sounds very interesting for avid gamer, but what little i have heard is there are several restriction on regions etc.

That's for sure, countries will have sanctions, such as Lebanon.

Goes the same for some services in World of Warcraft such as "Recruit a Friend".

Some thing to keep in mind is, if you're just creating a battle.net account, make sure you don't set Lebanon as your country.

I dont think they will block ppl from the restricted countries, I think what they will do is give u Bnet Wallet transfers only. and no cash takeout options.
They have finally made a game that is uncrackable...


Naah :P just kidding... I'm sure theyll find a way around the verification process... or maybe create parallel servers.. just like in Minecraft.

Even if they bypass the verification process, that means nothing. What matters is the "real" character, not the character that is stored on some private server. Moreover, what's the point of playing Diablo 3, a long awaited game, if you're planning on getting 2,000,000 stats on your character and just beating it in 15 minutes.

D3 will be a long running game, it will be fun.

P.S.: Battle.net is very secure, no one will get in :P

only those noobs who are so desperate for a good character get/hack in, and they quickly get taken down by blizzard, but not my account tho! takes me a whole 5 seconds to type my tricky password..
shant wrotetakes me a whole 5 seconds to type my tricky password..
No matter how tricky your password is, if your computer is infected, it will be compromised. I used to not only have a tricky password, but I entered it shuffled. So if for example my password is "mypassword". The way i did it, was I typed "word", then using the mouse I clicked on the beginning of the textbox and entered "pass", after which i do the same for "my". The password I entered was "mypassword", but the keylogger registered it as "wordpassmy".
Hey guys I have a question regarding D3. I have yet to pre-purchase the digital copy of D3, as the beta has already ended, I found no particular reason to buy it yet. So I decided to buy it on the day of release, but I'm wondering if Virgin (or any store) in Lebanon that will have it stocked on May 15th? Or will it take them a few days to stock them up? I got the impression that with big titled games, they have it avaliable quickly. Please let me know if anyone knows about this, or if they suggest alternatives to get ahold of the hard copy of D3. Thanks!
If you don't care about the package, you don't have to preorder anything. On the day of the release you would probably be able to buy the serial number online from many stores and just download the game digitally. In a sense this is what most people will do and this is pretty much what PC and Parts will do.

true, but thats what my anti virus's are all for
is there a way to get the game other then pre-ordering it online? i'm looking for something material, and idk if virgin will release it on 15th may or even at all, and even if they will price will be double which isn't encouraging :P

edit: i already know about pcandparts, i explored that option but they will only give me the cd key once it's available and that i had to pre-download the game from the net. blizzard isn't offering pre-downloads for any1 who didnt do a digital pre-purchase from them, tho the official download links were linked and i found them on a gaming web, i have tried it and it reached 7.1/7.6 GB. i was downloading a bit each day, until yesterday the entire thing vanished and im back at 60mb... i looked up D3's forum and it's an that many who pre-purchased it are hving, but as u know 7.6gb download isn't a pleasant thing here in lebanon.
