http://diablo3x.com/parts-of-battle-will-cost-money\r\n\r\nAll this talk about \\\'monetizing\\\' BNET, who thinks bliz is going to turn it into something like xbox live or the like? Fees for a RTS or Diablo is ridiculous.\r\n\r\n\\\"With Battle.Net we\\\'re definitely looking at possible different features that we might be able to do for additional money. We\\\'re not talking about Hellgate or anything like that. We\\\'re not going to tack things on. I think World of Warcraft is a great example to look at. We charge people if they want to switch servers or if they want name changes, things that aren\\\'t core to the game experience, they\\\'re really just optional things that some people want. It takes us some development work to do it, so it makes sense to charge for it. We would never do something like say to get the full game experience, you\\\'ll have to pay extra.\\\"\r\n\r\nSo pay money if I want to jump from USEast to USWest? And sc/wc lets u make names as much as you want as long as you use them.\r\n\r\nWill BNET be looking for any petty excuse to drain your money now? Join clan 2$ change clan 2$ change name 2$ and so on, or even worse monthly subscription for online play.\r\n\r\nScary that they \\\'think of WoW as a great example to look at\\\'
