Howdy.
Now, I'm not in on the beta so this may be spaghetti on the wall, but...
...I'd be interested to know if the difficulty (for lack of a more descriptive term) of the quest NPCs are pretty much set, or if they'll be buffed/twinked as the testing continues to wrap up. This Van Cleef fellow sounds nasty enough, I'd hate to think he'll get tougher to accomodate a gaggle of 50th lvl chars.
...I'm curious to know if there might be any kind of D2 Hardcore implemented, be it a check box at character creation or a special server, etc. Cliff-jumping would be right out, for one thing.
...I wonder if the retail version will be available for download as well (for a fee, of course); if not I'd like to know if gameplay will involve cd-swapping. I suppose end-user access to expansions and such will be indicative of Blizzard's business model.
Al dente,
