This is also a blessing.

"Swen: Riftrunner is even less Diablo like since the combat system has evolved. There will be fewer monsters, but those who are there, will be harder to kill. Fights will be tougher. A monster of an equal level is really an equal match. It will have access to the same skills, armor and weapons as you have at that level. On top of that you now control a party."

I have been waiting so long for someone to go this path with real time combat. The part about fewer monsters which are harder to kill. I have nothing against hordes of creatures but this sounds great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" />
