In Diablo 2 I made up to Level 93 on hardcore and sold my barbarian on eBay for $1500! That was back around high school so it was a lot of money and it was cool.

I don't think my current PC can handle Diablo 3 or run it in very low graphics. It's E8400 in mini-itx build with Radeon 4670. That'll be crap for good gaming experience. I heard Diablo 3 is mostly multiplayer anyway and I'm not interested in the Blizzard multiplayer hypes anymore, it's just too much time to spend level up and farming for items. Not fun.

You can still play single player mode but you have to log in.

I hate Diablo 3 being online only game.

Really? What if offline and no wifi like on train or airplane?

That sucks man.

Their precious real money auction house (and so all your loot being audited to ensure you haven't hacked) is more important than you being able to enjoy the game anywhere.

Well, no excuse, Blizzard can make offline characters with auction house disabled.

The Starter edition I played was both single player and multiplayer. But it seems that the multiplayer feature is what they are using to really sell the game.

It's typical blizzard gaming strategy. They make their games good, but only if you are attracted to the multiplayer competition aspect. Without it, their games have very little replay value...

This has gone all the way back to days of WC2 or Starcraft 1. I mean, who likes playing with bots all the time?

Yeah, they could... but didn't want to. That the game has already sold millions despite the online requirement unfortunately sends the message that people will accept being treated like dirt.

I caved in and got D3 just to understand what is it all about. I still don't get it

Yup, seems so.
