Diablo 2 was arguably the best online game ever made, it achieved near perfection in playability and addiction levels, not to mention crossing over into the real world buying and selling of game items for real money
the long wait for Diablo 3 is probably because it is such a hard act to follow, and World of Warcraft took the attention for those years. Diablo was different than the World of Warcraft type game, something about it made it so much more appealing to many in a more repetitive simplicity way than Wow, but it was that repetitiveness that was a large part of making it so great, we all ran through the same levels, the better players had them all memorized, yet memorizing the 'quests' made them even more fun, and repeat playability was incredible, you could spend weeks playing the same Baal runs and not tire of it, the thrill of the drops made you strive for more and more
truly the crack of video games, as someone else mentioned, I hope to be independently wealthy enough to be able to retire from all work for months so that my computer time will not get distracted away from Diablo3 (that is if Blizzard doesn't fuck it up
)
