Post subject:  Diablo 3 won't support 3-monitors
Bashiok (Blizzard CSR) responded to a post on the official Diablo 3 forums asking if the game would support a 3-monitor setup:

It's a single-monitor only game, and that's because the game literally only pulls info from the servers for a specific distance away from the character for bandwidth reasons. The game is also built with those limitations in-mind: edges of maps don't extend way out.

Also, being able to see way out to the left or right of your character really wouldn't help that much. Triple monitor is cool for first/third person where you're getting a larger peripheral view, but in a fixed isometric camera it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Pretty dissapointing. That, along with the real money auction house, online only play, and other dissapointing announcements pretty much seal the deal for me :(

Well, never played Diabolo 2 so far, just wanted to play the 3 because it's hyped, and i liked Sacred and Loki. But seems like i wont come to play Diablo 3.

I hope it can at least support 3x1 portrait for the extra resolution.

Whaaa a game like D3 with no eyefinity when it should be a super easy thing to do???

This may just be the nail in the coffin, I was going to have to decide between D3 and Guild Wars 2... Guess somebody made the decision for me.

I mean the game doesn't even pull enemy data that is X distance from the character. So if you could actually see that far to the sides you'd see enemies popping in out of thin air as they're randomly generated. I don't know though, maybe it'll just work out of the box and all the weirdness that would go with being able to see far beyond the play area that the game is designed to show.

I'd really like to get a GW2 Guild going. We tried with GW1, but it never took off. No monthly fees, and International servers seemed to make it a perfect fit for the WSGF.
