Battle.net Subscription Fees Explained

If you recall, we know that Russia, South America and Korea will have a different billing structure than the "West" (meaning America, Europe and South-east Asia, in essence). Talk of monthly or even daily or hourly fees have been mentioned, and fans are understandably confused.

Western fans are also afraid there might be some sort of monthly fees for us as well, or undue fees to change names on your account etc.

Let's straighten out all these questions right now!

Well, even with that whole article, I still think they are a tad cheap to disallow features that existed in previous games (LAN, cross-region play at launch).

Cogo5795d ago

Seems they did not do proper market research is all...

Djorgo5795d ago

Haha, that is very very true!

Leord5795d ago

I'm one of many people disappointed in those two things... LAN will never come (except if you host tournaments, and hire a Blizz guy for the day), but why didn't they think of cross-region play as a main feature? They say they are all about interconnectivity and social themes. Don't they have any European/Australian friends?

Recka5795d ago

I would love to see cross region game play, noob it up and get roflstomped by leord :P

Darkfiber5795d ago

You mean a tad *Activision*. I guarantee you that it's not Blizzard making these decisions.

Recka5795d ago

Well... Atleast they gave some insight into it

Dorjan5795d ago

Well that makes sense, kinda like a renal option

Cogo5795d ago

Well, not quite rental, more like subscription without contract.

UIOP5795d ago

A good read. Explains a lot, and will hopefully reduce the panic about the subscription fees.

Leord5795d ago

Well, yes, there has been an overstated fear of fees.

Djorgo5795d ago

Either way, a very good read, I think. That's why I added it to N4G.

Cogo5795d ago

Oh, if it was you, then thanks! :)

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic75d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht75d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198975d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Michiel198974d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
