Look at SC and D2, both no modding and they were/are still the most popular games around. You are comparing apples with oranges, WoW is MMORPG, D2/D3 are RPGs. D2 had modding and SC had moding through the map editor. I don't agree with him though. | ||

Of course the social experience is very important. I can't imagine who would want to just play a multiplayer game as if they're playing single player. And even if there are such people, they can still do it by NOT clicking the "enter chat" button, while all the rest of us social people can have a good time. | ||

GBR-1 etc weren't so bad to begin with, but later on got infested by bots. The only good things I remember about those channels were occasional late night random chat with strangers talking shit, probably about the same level as Chuck Norris jokes. Hardcore-1 etc was basically the HC trade channel. Even early on, near impossible to see anything you needed because of the massive amounts of spam, which also flooded out the whispers you used to try and negotiate in a never ending tide of scrolling text. GAT was where I spent all my AFK time. Pretty much the only reason people were ever in there was to AFK, since if you just wanted to chat you'd enter one of the GAT games and chat in there. The only chatting I really ever did was /f m to spam my whole friends list, and everyone on there did the same. You basically had friends lists that worked as a ghetto guild chat. As long as they implement that, I'm fine with it. If I want to go talk to random people, I'll enter a public game and talk in there. Public channels were spam, inane drivel and afk, nothing more. | ||

Most of your friends were offline anyway because everybody had plenty of accounts and you needed to keep track of them all. good times. | ||

Bnet 2.0 is the most horrible thing. When i log i go to the chat channel... but that's scrolling to fast. You HAVE to join so there's no one there most of the time. You play SC2 clicking the finding match button like you launched your supernintendo... So when i read here that open channels like in SC1 are regretion... please. They could have keep them and IMPROVE them... No they did something like IRC that never existed. I mean that even IRC has better chat featers than Bnet2.0 ... And we are talking 15years ago (sorry for my bad syntax). I'm really considering to play Diablo3 but not buying it now... I canceled my pre-order and will wait till may to decide.

TBH chat is for troll/spammer/no life or bot. If you want to met people try a bar or facebook + there's chance u meet girls in does places. Please... a lot of us here that knows diablo1 are 25+ years old... Don't talk about meeting girls. That's childish... I'm sure a lot of TLers with knowledge of D1 are married or engaged. And about the troll/spammers/bot (Why no-life ?) you could moderate your channels. | ||

I've said this before, without the public chat, there will be less spam, less trolling, and more gaming. If you want to chat, I am sure you can chat up a storm in game or find an IRC channel for that purpose. There is more to "chatting" than just sitting in a public channel and making friends. I did not say that was how I met all of my friends, since I said "some of them". Also, mostly, it happened like this : x and y are on the same public channel, various conversations are going on between the amount of other users on the same channel and x and y stir up a conversation, and end up going "why not go for a little custom game?" and just like that, you got yourself a new friend. My point is this is much harder to accomplish without public channels, and as bad as spam or bots are, public channels do give you the opportunity to just kinda stumble on random people and befriend them by chatting them up and then playing with them. On the current BNet 2.0 however, you feel horribly alone and you literally can't do that. Which sucks. | ||

I really don't get what Blizzard is doing. I understand the whole thing about not having LAN or single player, it actually makes sense. People are forced to pay for the game = Blizzard makes money. But what do they get from having such a shitty social part in Battle.Net 2.0? If the lobbies/custom games won''t allow you to decide the name, I don't see this working out very well. Like the custom game service in starcraft 2 is the worst thing I've ever seen. Blizzard really f*ckd up didn't they. Edit: Just realised there is an almost identical post a couple of posts up, and I didn't even read it before writing my own. Really shows you how much people hate they way they're handling this. | ||

In a perfect world we would have public channels and everyone would behave...like a normal human being? And no moderation would even be needed, but we know that is impossible. Perhaps they have concrete data on the people who left WoW the last year (2 million by their own report) perhaps many of them left because of the lousy community? And they dont want to the same here or in SC2. | ||

The community is always what you as a player make of it. It's not a reason to not have chat channels. | ||
