Ah, my bad. I'm waiting for it to come down in price/stabilize, because I've liked Blizzard since WC2, so I haven't looked into the illicit methods of downloading it too heavily.Nimbus said:

As the other dude said, the big part of the proyect isn't to crack it, but to reverse engenieer the servers without physical acsess to them. They are trying something akin to build a specific F-1 new model by only being able to watch them, drive them for a very VERY limited time and knowing how cars work in general; and they will most likely suceed in doing a private server at some point, but it won't be diablo III pirated copy, but a game with the same interface that plays similar in some areas.geK0 said:
And for some reason the escapist community thinks doing that reverse engenieer is ez....
And, unless the private server scene has changed a lot since i left, it also didn't had end game PvE or PvP content. In fact AFAIK WoW private servers still don't have any raid from the last xpac, nor the isntances, do they?FelixG said:
Also... running a server and developing said server are like heaven and earth in therms of informatic skillz.
Yeah, if only I could find a grindly clickfest P2W multiplayer RPG somewhere. Truly, Diablo III is revolutionizing the industry.Haakong said:
I'm surprised that this thread hasn't rolled over and died. As has been repeated multiple times pirates are not currently playing Diablo 3, all that's been released is an uncracked version of the client. To properly pirate the game will require someone to successfully reverse engineer the servers at Blizzard's end as that's where all of the dungeon/loot tables/boss mechanics are stored, they are NOT available locally. It is very unlikely a fully functional server operating on the same rules as the Blizzard server will ever be available; however something coming close(ish) will likely appear at some point in the not to distant future. This is because much of the content seems to be randomly generated so fully reverse engineering the mechanics employed by Blizzard may never be possible, as information on the content generator will be lost on completion of the operation, in a similar way to integration and differentiation.
Despite not being a big fan of always on DRM, I can sort of see why it was included with the real money auction house and all that, still not buying the game but that's more because its's not my cup of tea.

Didn't Ubisoft try some DRM once that tied the game to a server and then pirates just created a perfectly functional fake server?DancePuppets said:
It isn't like this hasn't been attempted by game companies before, and then it failed.
If it can soothe your pain a little, it's the first time I do so. I think their decision to remove features because of greed is horrible, and I wish people wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Hopefully they can go even further next time and alienate their fanbase for real.tony2077 said:
Find that very hard to believe, considering the game requires more data to play than that which is encoded in the client. Even emulating the Blizz server shouldn't do the trick, because you still don't have the relevant data required to run the game in full... so, all things considered, I'm gonna have to call balls on this.
Ubisoft did not do that. The Assassins creed DRM was a ton of different authentications randomly through the game. While playin the game would send a sort of ping to the server when you reached a spot to basically "unlock" whatever you are doin. The data is still on the disc though. With D3, the data is almost all on the servers.SajuukKhar said:
And to be fair, private servers aren't the same as pirating something. It's pretty much harmless unless you're making money off of it.FranBunnyFFXII said:
