Well, that would kind of kill it for me, but I highly doubt Blizzard will do so. They already have WoW and creating another extremely polished MMORPG will just compete with WoW and potentially decrease the number of people playing it.
That being said, Battle.net will probably still be a huge attraction of the game. For Diablo II and its expansion, playing it through single player was fine and you could have alot of fun, but you could never get any of the really awesome stuff or PvP unless you go onto B.net. Essentially, DII was sort of like a MMORPG. Even now basically a decade after its release, there are still plenty of people playing it online.
