So now that we have a good indication that there will be no LAN in Diablo 3 (http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/Hellforge/No-Lan-Confirmed-for-Diablo-3-Other-News/) what does everyone think about this?

I personally don't mine seeing LAN featured, but I can understand their reasoning behind not implementing it due to things like people having to buy more than 1 copy per household, and less pirating (ie. all profit motives).

I do think it would be nice to do something that other games don't offer these days, and enable the older D2 crowd to still enjoy their LAN games

Awww come on ! There should be an outrage...

We had an outrage for HG:L!
We must have an outrage for that in D3.

Where are the whiners from last time:D
With their LAN parties and "I wanna plaaaah with muh brozah plsplspls LAN plsplspls".

Honestly, if there isn't an outrage, I will start to think there was something fishy...

Hehehe...

Anyway, I personally don"t mind the absence of LAN.

Yeah, there should be an outrage regarding this. The internet in NZ sucks, so I'm all for a LAN option.

Didn't care for it in HG:L, and don't care for it in D3.
However, if Harb starts an outrage, I'll be all for it. Outrage is fun. :-)

How come? There are no steady lines there? no internet at all, only dial up or what?

Latency to other countries :p

And we usually get shafted on servers for Oceania for games that aren't too big.

As the Pacific cable from Aus and guessing NZ too is our only connection to the US, it gives us **** pings a lot.
