    To be honest Ill probably play the Diablo beta over Tera. Already played the Tera one a few weeks ago. Im looking to see if this will be any better. The forums all say D3 has been dumbed down for the masses much like WoW. If so, I probably wont be buying it.

    Sidenote: Has anyone noticed the masses are incredibly dumb now? Whats this world coming to?

    I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.

    Hey it's not for no reason, all that loot you get you can sale for real cash man. This is a business opportunity, not a game :P

    I'm going to play D3 and I didn't really consider really buying it.

    Yet I did play 3 closed betas for Tera and was thankful at the chance to try/test it; at first I was really excited about it and pre-ordered, then I made it to level 30 and just burned out, same old smitch. 

    I am going to hold over for GW2 in the long run at this point.

    anyways thanks again for the heads up.

    as a hardcore pvper though i will instabuy d3 and not 100% sure if i buy GW2 insantly. i need to see hwats the meaning and benefits of pvp in GW2. if its meaningless like WAR, then i will not buy it on relase date

    ^ Don't worry, SWTOR and RIFT have both been playtested and suck. That should help your decision making.

    Neither of those games "suck". Actually those are two of my favorite mmo's. They aren't perfect, but no mmo is.

    Excellent find OP! 

    I'm in the process of downloading it now.

    I was planning on vegging out on the couch this weekend to get rid of this bug I've had, but this will do just fine. image

    Trolls, lack of being fed, you know the drill.

    I've been testing D3 on and off for a few months and it is getting better. Still not sure if I will pre-order it or not but it looks like I may buy it in the future.

    Don't forget you need to have a Battletag on your account too.

    "Suck" / "Blow" it's all semantics.  SWTOR and RIFT are both FAIL, and if you like them? That's cool. No MMO is perfect; fine.  

     

    But as for this weekend is concerened, there is really only one clear choice...

    Im yet to see a reason why, besides just promotion.

    edit: error 12 is because the time has not elapsed to grant your account with licence

    No rush people. Everyone is trying to get on at the same time. You will be getting errors and not logging in.
