No flatrate/ broadband connection.
I don't just want to be able to play on the net, when every hour costs me more money.
I want to play the same chars on LANs, too.
And, the game is fun to play in Singleplayer, too.
It's not about competing or not, it's about how much online-time you dedicate to the game. I for myself don't play on the realms. Sometimes open - then I can use my Singleplayer Character. It's far less complicated for the casual half hour that can be pushed in here and there (especially with a lame 56k connection). This way my friend and I can each play different amounts of time at home each, and then meet again in open. He, too, thinks that it's not worth getting online for an occasional Baal Run before dinner or whenever there's not too much time.
I'm well aware that this might be different for other players. Just my 2 cents.
Greetings, Fragbait
