Item-customizing in D3?

#0 - Feb. 11, 2009, 2:46 p.m.

Will there be more ways to customize your items than in previous games, or(this might be a bad question)will the players be able to customize items at all in D3?

If so, in which ways?

Thus far we've shown that items do have sockets, and gems can be placed in them. We're not continuing runewords, and the term 'rune' is now associated with the rune/skill system. What other options may be available, we're not telling. :)

We haven't released any information on our site, but it was possible to collect socketed items as well as gems in the BlizzCon demo, so any news site or fan site that attended MAY have included that as information. I don't remember any specifically reporting on it off the top of my head.

The gem stats at this point are more or less just the basics yanked from Diablo II to get the system running and have something to play around with.
