I've spent so much time playing those games...!

I played a fair bit of D1 & a ton of D2. The auction house approach put me off from getting in on the ground floor with D3 & by the time it reached its post auction house form, it had more or less fallen off my queue.

Does D4 work well for someone who enjoys a mix of solo & small group multiplayer?

I totally ignored the auction house and I liked D3 pretty well.

I haven't experienced the multiplayer part. D3 multiplayer was pretty good with the rifts, not sure how they implemented it in D4.

@Evorlor not sure if I'll be playing it.

I like diablo a lot

but I've been pretty unhappy with Activision running things. :(

As soon as Starcraft II released as 3 games, I thought "uh-oh"
