It is the combination of hardcore play and hardcore economy through the Auction House that opens doors.
Unseen and quite frankly it is EVE on speed this way.
Hooked big time.
Not sure if D3 can be called hard core game. after all that years we have been waiting for it, it looks like they finished it in 6 months Almost like game from facebook
I doubt that they even know what Hardcore mode means, much less about finesse like which Ah is present in HC. I suspect that you are talking about the Real HC mode(I play all my MMOs that way btw-they are so god dam boring without the ever present death), while they are interpretting it as Hardcore in other games(purposefully gimping yourself, cranking the difficulty slider up etc).
HC mode rules! MP 10 perhaps lol
Yeah. I can see someone here who plays D3 in hardcore. And yep, these guys in this thread don't even understand the word.
Diablo 3 hardcore play is = one death , game over for that avatar. Done for good.
Now imagine how difficult it is to explain to someone how AWESOME it is to play in a game where everyone dies (for good) and ...trade in a Gold Auction House ...attached to this restricted hardcore world ...
It is the wet dream of most MMO'ers come true, the only thing is ... they don't know it, since they didn't even try it.
Imagine an MMORPG where one death means game over for the avatar and an economy that is build (and rebuild) on these deaths...
Diablo 3 on PC is incredible in hardcore. I have solace to know that I am far from the only one to have noticed this tense and exciting mechanic of hardcore economics mixed with survival mode.
Awesome.
Perma-death. Highly difficulty encounter. You cannot get more hardcore than this.
Personally i am not that hardcore. I like high level of challenge (high MP) but not perma-death. But this game has it all.

Such a laugh really. You are ALL searching for a game where the economy is useful in a constant reset and "needing mats" world to trade in.
The farce that this game based on constant death ... exists and is even made by Blizzard and ... then this guys shows up.
Talking about being deaf, blind and well ignorant.
Typical.
It is hard core if you play the hard core mode.
