Diablo III director Jay Wilson has expressed that Blizzard does not have a great desire to charge a subscription fee for the upcoming revision of its multiplayer client Battle.net. However the developer noted that Blizzard is looking towards monetizing certain multiplayer features, unknown at this point, for the game.
“We are going to monetize features so that we get to make them,”
Wilson noted that whatever the content may be, he states that it will be the appropriate value for the users.
Fans of map hacking and other Diablo II modifications have little to look forward to in the sequel as the director shot down any talk of mod support in Diablo III.
“We don’t have a lot of plans to do that. It would make our lives so much harder”
Wilson also talked about the trading aspect of Diablo III, stating that no items outside of specific quest rewards will be bound to players.
