Diablo III is for real

[Hammerskjold]

That, and the supposedly faster pace of D2 or any other RPG is almost entirely illusory,

Speaking of speed, I was thinking of a different kind of speed and pacing. Personally, I prefer D1's method of clvl based access, vs D2 waypoint system. After I hit a certain clvl in D1, I could go anywhere I want.

In D2, it can be mindnumbingly slow if it's in SP. (IMO, Khalim's quest.) Or, fosters waypoint rushing which isn't bad in itself, but combine that with what you generally encounter in public b.net. Let's just say sometimes I feel like there's a bunch of Kevin Federlines running amok in b.net.
