No, no. They are. I won't say what exactly, but it has to do with private servers and the Diablo 3 beta.distortedreality said:

The whole must be online thing didn't bother me as im always online anyway as most people are.Grey Day for Elcia said:
What pissed me off... is when the always online failed and fell over badly :/ thats my main gripe with it. If your gonna do it, at least do it right and don't fuck it up.
Aside from that i been loving the game itself a huge amount of fun =)
I just realized I quoted the wrong person. Sorry about that, we do agree. I fail at forum posting, sometimes.. and I'm just too damned lazy to fix it.Grey Day for Elcia said:
Just felt the nid to pip in that I didn't pay for D3.Grey Day for Elcia said:
My wife plays WoW and she got a copy free with that year pass thingy. She doesn't want it so I get to play it.
And that is why i'm not complaining.
I can hardly whine about something that cost me nothing. My missus was going to be paying her wow sub anyway but this way it saved me forking out 40 squid for Diablo .... although I wasn't going to buy it.
From a rough search in google, I saw that the beta's the only one that's cracked. Whoop dee doo, they cracked a demo.Grey Day for Elcia said:
So, no. Pirates haven't cracked the game yet. I highly doubt that a freaking MMO would be cracked 2 DAYS after its release.
Okay so I just checked all my usual sites as far as I can tell the game is not cracked any where. The OP said it involved BETA files which is BS because the Beta used the same DRM as the current build does, IE everything is generated server side. Now perhaps if someone got a hold of the Alpha build, which sources say included some of the server code and didn't require a server running on a different machine.
But ya as of now I declare Diablo 3 "UNCRACKED" I could be wrong but I did do a pretty through search and could find not a single torrent claiming to be a crack that was anything more than a virus/grabage/something else.

WoW pirates still don't have a perfect server going as far as I know, and in WoW most of the information is handled by the client, while in D3 almost everything is handled server-side, so replicating a server would be even more difficult.
It has to do with hacks as it does with money. As I replied to you in the other thread, it really doesn't help you or anyone to oversimplify reality or distort facts to fit your purpose.Grey Day for Elcia said:
Offline mode for example, is not what you imagine it to be. If they made offline mode, they would have provided your "pals", the pirates, a complete 100% functioning server emulator.
Now tell us, honestly, how smart would that be?
Emulation takes much more work than those "pals" of yours are willing to put in. They won't bother setting up a coherent working game rules, just like WoW private servers, every character will be an un-killable god in Inferno mode.
Disclaimer: Term "pals" is used due to OP obviously promoting these activities.
Judging by the amount of Tyrael's Chargers I see when playing WoW, I think it is safe to say that the sales figures are slightly bloated simply by the number of people taking advantage of the WoW 1-year subscription discount, mount, and MoP Beta Access. I easily know a dozen people who would not own Diablo 3 otherwise.Grey Day for Elcia said:
That number was announced actually. About 1.2 million people worldwide took Annual Pass offer. You can look it up in Blizzard press releases.Rangarig said:
having the files on your local computer, makes hacking it a lot easier. So it has quite a bit to do with hacking. If blizz let people have an offline mode, the would have to store all the info on the customer's computer. This is why D2 was so easily and thoroughly hacked. They sought to prevent that for D3 and the RMAH. (which I think is wonderful BTW)Grey Day for Elcia said:
I'm a little confused by your post. Diablo III does not support offline play as far as I know, so online and offline characters are not the same or integrated. Are you talking about a different title?distortedreality said:
The fact that there ISN'T an offline mode is what makes the characters integrated into both game modes, which makes them the same, rather than have a separate character for each.Rooster Cogburn said:
I probably should of said single and multi player instead of on and offline, would of made more sense.
I see, that makes sense. It is very cool. Where Diablo III falls short, I think, is not supporting that type of integration and offline play. Integrating single and multiplayer is standard for this type of game. Diablo II, Titan Quest, etc. all did that much. It's not a unique selling point for Diablo III. The only thing different about Diablo III in that respect is that it does not support offline play also.distortedreality said:
