I wouldent talk to soon, as long as diablo2 still lives, they will continue to let people play, and if it gets kinda low, they throw in patched, take the 1.10 patch, hacking horbbliy happedns and ppl left (ALOT OF PPL) and so bam patch... Just go along with it, when ppl stop playing even with patches thrown out, thats when they will most likey worry about Diablo III (or : Assassin )
