>Might be doable, and Reaper of Souls will have in game support to form up a clan or a guild type of deal, which would be perfect for this.
That, and the open-world adventure mode, which allows you to go where you want and kill what you want. Pity that Monster Power levels will be gone, but there'll be like 12 difficulties to compensate, so co-op looks promising.
>The real question is how many of the old timers are going to have time and motivation for this.
D3 is very casual. How much motivation one really needs to hop in a guild channel and do a 10-minute Diablo run with a few battle.net friends on a weekend evening? The complication of the old Camelot stemmed from the elaborate RPish system of ranks and procedures, which gave it its charm, but also required *effort*. Simply gathering some people to play Diablo shouldn't be a problem. Then, one can try to build something upon that :)
>I know the original release of Diablo 3 had a lot of problems that left many feeling let down in a big way. I think RoS will go a very long ways to fixing things up, and be kind of what the diablo 2 expansion was to D2 itself.
D3 by itself is a decent and enjoyable, if oversimplfied, game, if you look at it without connection to D1 and D2. But what the current Blizzard team - read, WoW/Activision - did with the franchise's legacy is pretty appalling. It's basically post-Cataclysm WoW, Diablo edition. Every game mechanic dumbed down and streamlined into mindless, railroaded, cartoony clickfest, with no real consequences for any player choice unless you are Hardcore. and even in HC, the main reason of death until Inferno is lag. *sigh*
RoS surely looks good. Though, again, I'm not really sure about completely axing the player economy and making legendaries bind. Cash AH should die in a fire, sure, but gold AH? Not so sure.
>No matter what, I know I am going to be playing and if no one else starts it back up, I'll see if I can form the guild / clan as a start, and get a spiritual successor going. I'm still in touch with a handful of the old big names - Dukacz, Chaos, Kain, and a couple others. Wonder if Lamethu might come outta retirement as well if I ask nicely.
We'll see how it all goes down.
Good luck! Let's hope we'll see a reborn Kingdom some day :)
