Diablo 3
Dimmukane:
I'm pretty sure there would've have been huge internet ragez going on if they were planning on adding monthly fees by now. Blizzard have never said anything about Battle.net costing the players anything whatsoever.

Nope, nothing. I even checked the comments.

When I used to play D2 and the news first hit I'm almost positive they mentioned monthly fees. You can hold it against me, but I'm willing to bet Blizzard won't make the mistake of not charging for online play again.
Dimmukane:
I don't think they ever saw it as a mistake. Warcraft 3 came out after Diablo 2 and was free to play. I mean, tons of games, including a bunch of Diablo clones, are free to play online. What probably happened was someone extrapolated the comparisons to WoW's art style and UI and assumed that Blizzard said they were gonna charge for it, entirely out of context, and that's what you heard.
Seriously, it's not gonna happen. That is the easiest way to alienate one of the hugest fanbases in the world. It would've been a PR nightmare and worldwide boycotts against Blizzard would have ensued. Something like that would not happen without getting a very noticeable reaction.

Charging for Battle.net play would be like shitting on the keyboards of everyone who loved Diablo II and then smearing it under all of the keys.
Which is a lot of people.
