I do not have a battle.net account, don't want one, don't play online. Played Starcraft 1 & Warcraft offline for years. I have to think about whether I really want this if I'm forced to be online to crank it up, could well be somewhere with no internet - can I play the game I paid $60 for? Seems way too big brother - if I want to play online I'll join battle.net - if not forget it
