Has anyone here played Diablo III yet?

The game is amazing. Let me just say that. But I feel like there should be more play time. I just beat it on the first level, and I've only been playing for 2 days. Hmm. Maybe I play too much.

Has anyone played through yet? How long did it take you?

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. I've been meaning to buy it! I mean...it looks fantastic (below). Are you having fun even though it's going by quickly? You could try to drag it out as much as possible by playing through with a couple of different characters at the same time. From what I've seen, it looks like they have a lot of different skills to play around with.

Woah, that looks kind of awesome. I've been thinking about trying it out...is there a free demo or anything?

Each copy of Diablo 3 comes with several "guest passes" that allow you to play up to level 13/through the fight with the Skeleton King. You can carry this character/items gained over into the full game if you decide to purchase it.

Only if you by the "starter edition" copy of the game do you get guest passes. IF you get the standard edition you get no guest passes.

Good point. Also -- I just found this out -- if you get a guest pass from a friend, you can't play WITH them until you buy the game. I was excited to play with my friends up to level 14, and was disappointed when I found out I could only play alone! Boo. Bad show, Blizzard. ;)

From a battle.net page: "Guest Pass keys are included in all box copies of Diablo III."

Also... I thought I heard something about being able to sell in-game items for real money in the Diablo III in-game auction? How does that work?

Yea the game is great, Once you get to the third difficulty and above lvl 50 the game gets extremely hard and you need to get better equipment every 2 lvls. It will keep you playing. Good to have some cool people to play with because you will need four ppl on the later levels.

Auction house works with real money because people will actually just spend real money on this game. So it like eBay, but diablo. Linked to paypal. Blizzard has the game up for free after you buy it and the auction service because they get a cut of the sales. So you can make back your moeny that you spent on the game, plus make some while also making Blizzard a killing when you are talking about several million transaction a day.

The auction house sounds like something I could really get into. I used to make a killing in WoW. ;-)

Yea you can make a killing, my buddy payed for college and bought a car from his earnings from WoW. If you ever get D3, let me know. Like I said it always good to have some cool people to play with. Especially if you can talk about graphic and animation during the lulls between action.
