"Diablo III game developers are also marking the overall game economics a high priority as they are developing a system where gold is the main currency and items such as jewels or runes are not. This will defintely keep the game in check and not overflow to a pure mf game"
this is sooo sick! hussling items is the way the game was meant to be played
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.

Yeah, the reason they did this was to prevent lag. Don't you remember in D2 when you had like 2 Necros in your group with 4353245 skeletons, especially during Baal runs? Shit was fucking lag city.
And especially with all the spells and skills have explosive animation to 'em, it would be really laggy to have 8 players doing all their shit at once at a constant.

NOOOOOOOOOO, that was one of the best aspects of Diablo that WOW is lacking all the way - trading the items

Your computer is shit, it has nothing to do with 'lag'. Only thing more annoying than people complaining about necro summons is the endless number of people who still think Meteor in the Throne causes lag.

Well, I have an awesome computer now for gaming . Here's a quote from one of the Diablo 3 fansites who got a tour of Blizzard HQ and asked the devs about it...
"The max player limit isn’t set yet, but they’re thinking it might be just 4. They can add more, and it’s actually less stress on b.net to have more players in fewer games, but as Jay pointed out, more than 4 turns into total chaos, or else players are off in different parts of the same game. So the upper limit will probably be more about fun and party play than technical capability."
Also, Hardcore is back, respeccing is in, and MF is back.
ALSO - Check out this new feature : Skill Runes. Just awesome..

Some more cool info :
Attribute points are not player-assignable in D3. They’re not in the blizzcon build, but we thought that was just to simplify things for new players at the show. Jay says no, that’s how it is in the game now. His explanation was that it makes items even more important, and that it lets the designers plan a bit better (they can assume players will have at least X in each stat by a given level). You still get attributes, and they will still be required for equipment use, but they are automatically assigned each level up. Thus every Wizard will have the same base str/vit/dex/etc as every other Wizard of the same level. Same for the Barb and WD.
Jay confirmed that the party interface and system is gone in D3. Now when you join a multiplayer game, you are automatically in a party. Jay said that now that there’s no option to go hostile, it was pointless to force players to go through an additional party joining interface. The team is considering mechanisms that might be needed to deal with griefers or players who otherwise try to ruin the play experience.
There will be waypoints in D3. They’re not in the Blizzcon build, but they are in the full game. The team is also looking at ways to automatically jump players right to the closest one to other players when they join a game. They’re also considering some sort of scroll or other mechanism that would take new players instantly to the others in the party, wherever they are in the game world. All part of their emphasis on boosting the fun, co-op, multiplayer elements of the game.
Jay spoke at length about the newly-revealed spell runes. They are a fairly new addition to the game (they’re only enabled for the Wizard in the Blizzcon build), and are still very much subject to change. However Jay said that there are now 6 or 7 different types of runes, 5 or 6 quality levels, and that they can add as many more types or quality levels as necessary. Their rule for adding more spell rune types is to only add them when they think of a property that will be useful to enough skills that it’s a viable addition. He also said that rune properties would only boost spells and skills; they won’t add say, +5 strength, or other general attribute boosts. Runes aren’t only damage adding either; Jay mentioned the Wizard skill Mirror Image: Runes added to that skill will do things like make the images (duplicates of the Wizard) last longer, or make more duplicates appear.
Also, in a question I sneaked in after our interview time ran out, while we were packing up our gear: I mentioned Jay’s past comment that players would “hate” the next character announced, since it was so similar to a past character. (Which turned out to be the Wizard, who is clearly similar to the Sorcerer/Sorceress, and didn’t result in hate, other than some “it’s too ‘Harry Potter’” comments about the name.) Jay said that comment had been overplayed a bit, and that he’d made it fairly offhand. When I asked him how players would feel about the next character, he grew a bit more serious, and said with emphasis, “I think players wll love the next class.” How much he meant that, and how much he was merely playing off his previous “hate” comment is for us to attempt to determine.

I've pretty much covered everything in D3 that Blizzcon has shown so far. There will be the Lore and Art panel in a few hours but I don't know if LPers want to read that shit. I'll post it anyway, though .
TheHuHu4 coming soon :)

4 players per game is a good idea, 8 people in a game is just way too overpowered in dii
also they got rid of potions which is insane this iwll make hardcore mode 10x harder since you cant stash up full rejuvs
