I'd settle for just name changes. Paying to change your name.... this isn't WoW.

I do welcome this however, I can now play in peace without being pestered by that one guy who has failed to realise how bad Diablo 3 is and wants me to play with him.


I didn't know paying to change your name in a game is an idea owned solely by WoW.

GL getting name changes without having to pay for it. It's not gonna happen. Too many people are willing to pay $60 just to buy a new account for a new name, let alone $10 to save them the trouble.

Blows my mind that such an essential and easy to implement feature took so long to be added.

Every other game I know about lets you change your name an unlimited amount of times for free. Why the fuck are people willing to pay for a single name change?

That awkward moment where you tell your friend you don't want to play Sc2, appear offline, then meet them on ladder.
A lesson without pain is meaningless for nothing can be gained without giving something in return.

that's your justification? apple can charge $1000 for new iphones and many people will still be happy to pay that, that still doesn't make it right.

No but this shows what some healthy rivalry can do.
I kinda wish valve would make an RTS too lol, that would mean we got 2 great RTS games pushing the limits to be better than the other.

If only...

XD. I'd love to see those conversations. "What the hell I thought you weren't playing SC2! You don't like to play with me, is that it? I'm a bad person?? FRIENDSHIP OVER"

Why do people like this? I don't quite understand it. You can already block people from messaging you, so you just don't want people to see how often you are online? It's some sort of ego thing???

Naah , mate , you cannot possible exist
Didnt you have a friend , to whom you just want to say: OOOOh, fuckit, I dont want to play with you , just leave me alone" ?
Didnt you play on an ackward hour , and said to yourself: I am prepared to kill this boss/train my micro /shit the fan etc.
after agood coffee, and you just feel oh so good about yourself?
And then your friend sees you online and ruins your good digestion : Hey! lets play ! and your blocking shit is a shit , he knows you are online , so you block him , and then he asks , "why you blocked me"
Can you see some ideea of privacy here?
And , btw , for Diablo 3 I still wait for the option play offline

Some...but most people at some point want to be able to play without being asked to help, join, chat with, or otherwise be bothered by other people.



This!!! I know that's the reason I have smurfs with none of my friends/clanmates/practicepartners on

Seems pretty useless unless you can also disable the match history (which really should have been in since day 1, along with name change).
