You are wrong... Diablo....Starcraft...Warcraft2...Warcraft 3...yes they all use Battle.net which is nothing more than a glorified chat server where players go to meet. Once you start a game all the real work happens between the players computers (besides reporting win/loss stats back to Battle.net). MMORPGs are much more server intensive and expensive to maintain as the game really runs on the servers.
