Is Diablo 3's release this summer going to seriously hurt our population?

Alex · #1 03-21-2012, 06:58 PM

We've got a very nice 600 - 750 population range during primetime, but i've heard talk of people getting all pumped for Diablo 3 and it's got me a bit concerned for the server's playerbase.

Thoughts? Opinions? Flames?

for about a month, not more
blizz did everything possible to ruin D3 experience for many of us (must play online, RMT sales etc)

The main reason RMT is in game is because time and time again people prove that they want it.

This.

The only real threat to Project 1999 is Guild Wars 2.

When is that out?

Minimal threat, though of course a small dip when it first comes out, while everyone gives it a whirl.

Why? Because most of us are addicted to EQ, that's why. A pseudo-3D action-fest, light RPG will be a nice snack at times, but for a real meal, most of use will be returning to the EQ-teat.

yea D3 is not a game u would play full time at all

I've heard quite a few bad things about Diablo 3. You learn to absorb that kind of information on releases after a few dozen years of gaming. I give better than even odds that it will kinda suck.

I will bet you 50k pp on blue that it will be an overwhelming success.

We're talking about Blizzard, a company that has cancelled multiple titles (Starcraft: Ghost for the naysayers) in the past because it wasn't up to their standards. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on development only to be completely scrapped. A company that clears $1b annually, easy. They've got cash to burn and have no reason to release a shitty product.

I'll take that bet.

Success /= Good Game.

Its obvious its going to be a success, they already have a huge enough following to make the sales, and out of those millions there are enough who will play it and enjoy it.

Still doesn't make it a good game!
