Yeah because Diablo 3 doesnt get a giant hike in players every season? It may go back down but its proof that people like to play something fresh. Same with the classic wow servers. It would also give them a chance to purge all these useless armas weapons G1 put in and optimize the game easier.
A fresh slate should have been done in the first place. Now it's too late and this game will never pick up until LO sells it to some Chinese company years from now. Then they will wipe it and not care about you weirdos that sit around and still play this game in it's broken state.
