While I usually like Paul Tassi's articles, if have to say my thoughts while reading his thoughts regarding this were "WTF? STFU man!" If D2 will require a from scratch rebuild, I think that will be it for me, for real this time. I'm already having a hard time getting into putting in some prep time for ROI. I know once it hits I'll be all about the new content though. But, to play Devil's advocate here... A cut off and fresh start would be the "easiest" way to make D2 seem like a new experience. That doesn't really hold much sway for me though. I want to keep moving forward with my Titan and finish the fight that The Darkness started. I just wish we could move forward more frequently and more meaningfully. I mean seriously. Man the -blam!- up Bungie.
