Many people complain about Diablo 3 beeing an online game only but let's be honest - it's 2011 almost 2012 and there is internet available everywhere. I'm from Poland and I pay something like 10$ per month for very fast wireless internet with no limits.

World is changing people. Games need more disc space today, better graphic cards, more RAM, better processors. Requirements are changing fast and you all buy new equipement from time to time.

Just buy the damn internet connection. People complain, because they know that this online version of Diablo 3 will be impossible to be easily cracked like most of the games, that they can play for free offline.

I expect when each module is working, they will pull them all into one final product.

You forgot to add that this final product will be probably done in few months:)

I wouldn't count on a crack or something like that - don't make yourself a hope. AC is based on different system like many other games. Millions of people wanna play diablo 3 beta and as you can see there is no crack for it and the emulation is still far away from playable. I think there won't be any option to play real Diablo 3 with full content and experience without buying it.

I know what you mean with money problem, but if you see it as a long term investement it is not that expensive - you pay once and play long long time.

You know what? I decided just to save weekly some really small amout of money and I've already have like 1/3 of Diablo 3 full price, so when It comes I will have it all without bleeding my budget:)

Diablo 3 in my opinion is just worth buying. Most of the games today are short, you buy it for a similar price, play for 8 hrs or something and then you forget about it. With Diablo we have 4 difficulty levels as a big challenge to finish them all and varius hero classes so you can go back to this game after a while, when you feeled bored. This games gives lots of gameplay hrs so it's definitely worth spending money.

So as I said before - anyone that really waits for diablo 3 will buy this game, some of them are already gathering small amouts of money step-by-step to be able to get it. So I don't think that any of that people will be interested in emulated-imitated version of the game.

Diablo 3 is just a mmo, like WoW, the auction house is just a alternative to replace the month fees. Thanks to obese WoW kids, Blizzard officialy killed Diablo. WoW must be boycoted or more sh*** will come from Blizzard, even the fanboys being unable to see this.  But what the hell i'm doing, saying this on a forum full of virgin blizzardtardeds.

You don't know what you're talking about. Diablo 3 isn't a MMO game. You can play it in single player or the multiplayer mode as in most of the games. The only difference between Diablo 3 and other games is that your save games, progrees, build and so on is stored on blizz servers. Diablo 3 requires online not because it commits you to play multiplayer but as a piracy protection (most of the game features is loding directly from server not you hard disc).  As we can see with this emulator project's progress it is a very effective anti-piracy system.

You don't have to buy any memberships, licenses and stuff and the auction houses are optional. You can sell something or buy but you don't have to.

You don't need to insult any of Wow players and forum members just because you expected Diablo 3 to be clone of Diablo 2 with standard offline crack so you can play for free.

Not piracy? Common, you saying that this version is for offline playing when blizzard servers will be off or something else...

1. What's the point of playing emulated full version if your progress, previous achievements and all stuff from the original (online) version is not in the emulated one. Example: You have 40 lvl Barbarian and the blizzard server crashes, then you play an offline version with another different barabarian and stuff. Common it's just a pirated offline version of Diablo 3!:)

2. Emulated beta when the original is not available for everyone make sense to me just to have fun and test the game before it's release but making an emulated full game after blizzards release? It's not worth it! Example: Imagine Diablo 3 comes out like 3 march or something and you start a work of emulation. Even if it will be fast it will never be the same as the original - randomization codes, all patches and updates- this emulation will always be a worse optimazed, lacking content and so on...

3. I think it would be better to do just a good and playable beta, because now everyone have to wait for original release but want to experience beta.

4. After the release of original Diablo 3 someone that really want to experience that game will preffer to buy it instead of playing something that only imitates the original game.

5. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that your work has no sense but in my opinion it would be much better for everone to be able to play a single player emulated beta as fast as possible than waiting for full version when the original release will be already in stores.

cheers!

I really admire you guys for your skills with doing that diablo 3 beta emulator, but does it really make sense? The progress since the release of the diablo 3 beta is ketchup slow and probably Diablo 3 will be available in stores before your emulator version will be playable.

What's the point of that huge work if that version is not playable before original full game release. With that progress emulation of the full game will take years.

I think Blizzard beat the pirates with this server system and we should just admit it.

No disrespect but I follow this project since the beginnig and It doesn't seem to be even close to be playable.

Nonetheless I wish you luck:)
