Diablo 3 Popularity is Still on the Decline in Korea.
Just a couple months after the much anticipated release, there is already a Diablo 3 popularity decline. Korea specifically is seeing a significant drop in player activity. Diablo 3 did get off to a shaky start, with server crashes and hacked accounts, but connectivity and security issues seem to be improving.
The real money auction house probably holds some of the blame. Blizzard touted this new feature extensively, but it is not available in Korea due to government objections. Despite the interest surrounding the real money auction house, many Koreans doubt that this system will enter their country’s borders any time soon.
A lot of the disappointment circulating around Diablo 3 stems from individuals comparing this incarnation to the previous games in the series. Diablo, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction were all very well-liked games. Players feel that this newest addition pales in comparison.
Blizzard games are widely known for their consistent content updates. These patches are typically focused on working out bugs and similar problems, but they can also be used to add additional content. Diablo 3, unfortunately, has been lacking in this area.
Many critics are placing most of the blame for the Diablo 3 popularity decline directly on the characters’ heads. Players have five different heroes to choose from, but claims are being made that these different classes are not equally matched. Some feedback indicates that players feel there is a lack of variety when it comes to their hero choices. Rumor has it that Blizzard is working on a global patch that will address some of the problems that players have with the heroes.
Despite its decline in popularity, Diablo 3 is still kicking. Even after the drop in player activity, it is still Korea’s third most-played massive multiplayer online game.
Before all the problems.
