WoW is the only B.net game you have to pay for, I think. All the others - Starcraft, Warcraft II & III and Diablo I & II are all free to play online.

Interesting how WoW is also the only one that sucks nuts.

PS: I'm buying LoD on the weekend.

WoW is not played on Battle-Net as far as I know. Unlike Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo it's an MMORPG, and those kind of games are always with costs since the year the first of them appeared. WoW just uses some of the servers that are used for Battle-Net.

No, you have to pay for WoW because it sucks nuts, didn't you read what he said? You don't get those kind of services for free.

you still have to buy diablo, so it's not free :P

[Blood-Pigggy]

Yeah, but it sucks your nuts for free.

[Scatty]

Very nifty put. In fact it sucks your money for free, since you'll be wanting to get all the shiny high runes and runewords to be not worse than all others, and there's no way to do that at first in the game itself when you have almost nothing, so you turn over to eBay.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Only losers go to eBay, in fact, anyone who buys imaginary muck over eBay pretty much deserves to die.

e-bay? LOL...
when i played, in about a month i became a trader :> so i'll say it's pretty easy
and i agree with BP

Of course it's easy but you'll find tons of those spamming and begging children in the channels who claim to have lost their account due to being hacked, which probably was a result of them going to a site advertised by the spambots and trying to download some sort of hack or cheat, and catching a nice Trojan in the process.
And those children who are too lazy to simply play the game and prefer to cover the channels with spam about being rushed and helped, are also usually those who either end up bying virtual items at eBay or other D2 shop site and who flaunt with their "gosu" mega-items while have no idea how to play Diablo II.
And, believe it or not, it's a big majority of such "players" in Diablo's Battle-Net.

Um, all the real players left years ago to either play mods or just leave because the majority of Battle.Net D2 players are idiots, THERE ARE NO REAL PLAYERS LEFT, I stopped playing two years ago, people forgot how to play D2, it's not about fun anymore, just uber items and numbers.
