you'd lose all momentum.

Exactly what momentum do you speak of??

This is the worst idea. This would absolutely kill the game, you'd lose all momentum.

This game has no momentum right now. It barely has a playerbase. They practically need to jump start the game all over again.

what momentum?

If this game goes offline long term ill never come back, Diablo3 and whatever Blizzards new MMO will be will take up to much of m y time in the future.

ok cool guy, next buy a car and wait 3 years to drive it. In 3 years this game at its best will be a pile of trash compared to what they will be putting out. They need to take the money I already gave them and hire more devs.. we don't need more servers either... we don't have enough people on even one of them. get a clue. If its going to take years. the 15 people who have responded to this joke thread will be the only people playing on your "vast amount of servers that where purchased with the money they saved!!!!!!!!!"

You think I meant servers in the simplist of terms. never mind.

and well, if they rebuilt/or improved on the engine, then its all like new? no?

They already designed the graphics to last the next 7+ or so years. Dont go getting too deep into your analogy. Its a pretty stupid one.

The one that's dragging the sinking ship to the bottom of the ocean.

Honestly, the game has already lost enough that doing this really wouldn't cause that much harm. In my eyes at least, this would put SE in a position to bring the game back online and launch a 'revival' type program to invite all of it's original players to come back and see how the game has changed.

So long as that's a success, they will be in a position to push the console release(s) after getting a big patch or expansion pack put together. This entire idea would help the game to flow into it's second 'launch', and help bring momentum back to the table.

Are you saying that there have been no improvements done thus far? Any work that's been done to make the game better will be for nothing if you just shut the servers off for a year or two.

Seriously do you people think things through when you post these half cocked ideas? Sure it sounds great to you, but you have to think past what you personally want and look at the end result.
