I wonder, if you only need to pay once, couldn't this be played via private servers/Tunngle/somehow, for free?

A. you only need to pay once.
B. There is already a hacked up version of a private Diablo III beta server, it is several versions behind the current beta patch. So a private server of the normal version will likely be a month or so after the release.

Yes there is a private server but it works horribly: you can only run around and use skills. Attributes are fixed at 0. Mob AI is gone. Mobs are gone. Item drops are very weird and so on. In fact: Its not really a game that way more like a Benchmark ...
The cause of this as I read it somewhere is that Some parts of the game are ONLY on the server not on the Client: Mob AI and Item Drops etc...
As you have to constantly remain online while playing as there is no offline singleplayer + you also play on a server even if you play solo means that it will be quite hard if not even almost impossible to hack it + make a private server.
Because you would need one of Blizzards guys to leak Server Files. Without them you have no Mobs or anything.
and I think this is quite different from games with Realtime Online-Authentication (because here all info is on client and you can play singleplayer) but different from MMOs as well, because I guess on normal MMOs the dropped items calculation as well as Mob AI is on the client as well.
This is just a theory I read somewhere and I find it quite logical. I am by no way an expert at this so if I should be wrong feel free to correct me.
So my prediction: Server files either get leaked or it will take quite some time till private servers arrive.
But nonetheless here is a hint: Just buy the game. Honestly its totally worth it. Even if there are private servers its too much of a hassle and who knows the server maybe shuts down one day... whereas if you buy it you can be sure that you will at least be able to play i online for the next 10-20 years. And since you only pay once for the game its totally worth it!
Oh and a small sidenote btw: You can sell in-game items to other players via a Real Money Auction House. No one can predict how the market will be but most likely over the course of a year you will probably be able to AT LEAST get the retail price in profit. So you had 100% fun and paid 0 bucks for it (and even get some profit) in comparison to private servers where you had 70% fun, 50% frustration and 0 bucks.

My insurance has a thing called, " Nope, we aren't paying for that." that they like to use on us all the time. Then we play the "Ok we will go to some other insurance company." then they miraculously say ok we will pay for that.
