They would, if it had success.

See, if a game manages to draw anywhere from 1 - 12 hours of gameplay per day from a rather large crowd (We're talking millions of people here), that seems to indicate to me that - Gasp, somebody must be having fun!

Its the most successful MMORPG, ever. Now whether that has something to do with timing, latching onto its existing customer base from Battle.Net, utilizing a well-known storyarc / game to bolster its popularity, plain rock-solid advertisement or the actual game itself is irrelevant:

Millions of people play the game daily. That is success, gentlemen. And while I can point out many issues I have with WoW (note that I don't play the game anymore, but I did for 3 years), I can also point out dozens of very, very good ideas.

The curse of copying something very, very closely is of course that if you don't do it better than the game you're copying - You're going to look like a cheap rip-off and its going to be a negative not a positive. One example of this is the interface in Warhammer Online, which is clearly jacked piece-by-piece from WoW but is comparably unresponsive and sluggish. *Bad* idea. Coincidentally, this is one of the most voiced complaints about the game (Sluggish responsiveness from the UI).

If I wathed the 2 videos correctly, the witch doctor seems to be "the new Necromancer" in my eyes :) And lots more fun too :D

chat room with no real roleplay going on

They have servers specifically for roleplaying.

Then I might give it a shot. I have never seen anyone roleplay WoW, but then again, I've never been inside the game. I don't suppose a roleplay session would make it on YouTube for very long. :P

There is a good deal of roleplaying on the roleplaying servers - But they're not enforced, per se. You make your own fun, so to speak. Names are enforced 'better', but thats about it. Having said that, its more to point those who do want to RP into a server or two where they can find others who are likeminded, there are plenty of roleplaying guilds on the RP servers.

Not my point.

I meant like people that play WoW almost, or really 24/7. (Which is like, 80% of WoW's current community?)

I never played a game 24/7, nor close to that.

Enjoying is one thing. That's what I do.

Overplaying is a completely diferent thing, that only does harm to them for playing so many hours in a row. They probably do enjoy themselves, until health problems start to arise.

Ok, I probably did exaggerate, but at least 30-50% play half a day, if not more.

[Edit] Seeing as this arguement is pointless, I'd like to end it already.

I just hope D3 comes out soon since I miss playing D2 and D1 :)

This is a Diablo III topic, not a WoW bashing topic. Please try to stay on topic, thanks.

They said because he was such a good class in Diablo II it's unlikely he'll be in Diablo III. There isn't much room to improve upon and the Witch Doctor is already very similar.

Honestly I justdont think WoW is that fun. OMG its a 3D game! And guess what? YOU GET TO WALK AROUND!!! OMFG! Where HAVENT I seen that before? Elves, Giants, Cyclops, wtf were not in Greece guys...(I bet .6% of there players are from there)

And believe me my friends that play WoW they are NERDS to the XTREME! I understand playing for like 2-4 hours a day. but come on, 6-9 hours? My friends havent seen light in years >_> theya re as dark as fscking Riku in KH1.

Pff. I play games all day <.<. I'll sit down and play a game for 12 hours or more. Whether that game is WoW, Diablo 2, Crysis, Guild Wars, Final Fantasy, or any other game, it's what I like to do. Sounds like your friends enjoy themselves, so why do you care? If you're wondering, No, I Do Not go outside. It's way too damn hot, humid and pointless.

On another note; D3 is going to kick ass >:). I wonder when it'll be released >.^?
