El Diablo! Blizzard brings latest game to Mac/PC simultaneously

Diablo IIIDungeon crawlers, rejoice! Over the weekend, Blizzard announced plans to bring the latest game in its Diablo series, Diablo III to Mac and PC simultaneously—they’re just nice that way. So if you’ve been looking to dish out some damage to demons and fiends of the underworld, your time is nigh.

The long-awaited sequel to the much-ballyhooed Diablo II, chapter three picks up twenty years after the events of its predecessor. You can play through the action role-playing game as one of five distinct classes, only two of which have been revealed at present (barbarian, witch doctor) in your quest to defeat the nefarious hordes.

Pricing, availability, and system requirements have not yet been revealed. Me, I’ve never been a huge Diablo fan—I deal with plenty of demons, dungeons, and nefarious hordes every single day. Nothing new there for me.

I'll but it in a flash if it has an accountant character class.

I'm looking forward to D3, but I'd really like to be able to play D2 right now on my MBP.

Some experiences avoid being banned

Nobody can make sure that their accounts have not risk to be banned ,Here I would like to share some personal experiences
1. create accounts, when create the charater you can see many people who may have been built directly point to confirm, not to choose individual personalities, I am feding up to see MONK , ugly to dead, that way I may blaze my impulse to report these accounts;
2. Grades, dont mixed outside when got only lvl3, if you stroll outside with the low lever, you may easy to track by GM , especially on a large cargo of gold coins ;
3. Exchanges, when on the game will inevitably encounter some players inqure something from you, you are sometimes to be asked buying things , the best way is ignoring them,or just reply "im sory" ;
4. Online, avoid 24-hour online,jagex likes to track these accounts;
5. Transactions.when trade with others do ya guys both take off and bring if something ,shun giving or accepting stuffs or gold ;
6. Skills, there are so many skills, you have to practice a few more options, do not practice single skill, it is obvious to seek excessive profits of money as a single and high lever
7. Consumption, you have to play RS for such a long time, so u must have normal consumption records; dont just save gold;
8. Keys, although there is few intelligence auto, but now there is a semi-automatic button,it also bring some risk;
Ha ha. Perhaps I said many people are aware that you may not entirely know these, maybe you dont take measures, I do only to share my experiences to new friends

One wonders whether the Havok physics that are demonstrated in the gameplay video will make it into the Mac version. This was used in, amongst other titles, Age of Empires III but was not included in the Mac version (apparently PhysX was used instead). Havok is supposed to be cross-platform, but so far I haven't heard of it making it to the Mac so far.

Anyway, assuming that I can run it (doesn't look too taxing at the moment) then I'll buy it because I loved the earlier titles and want to show my support for games on the Mac.

@tigerclaw

Good find. Guess that resolves my question and maybe we'll see it used by other titles in the future. Mind you, I still need to see whether it really adds anything or whether it's more of a gimmick.
