Sorry, no.
After I got one of each class up to level 65 or so I didnt care anymore.

Now I'm into the Titan Quest. I like it for the ability to mix classes (similar to Guild Wars). Also because you get multiple skill points at each level and can take them down and rebuild your character if you wish.

Currently have a fairly powerful female elementalist. When I get sick of her I will go to the male Warrior/Defender.

Oh wait, this was about Diablo 2.
I liked it a lot, but played it WAY too much and got tired. Needed something new.

I haven't played it in years, but man that was an good (addictive) game back in the day. I remember plenty of "oh crap, it's 3:00AM and I have school in the morning" nights.

Nineth on my server to hit 99 after Lord of Destruction... looking back, what a waste of time that was. Firewall + Nova Sorceress for the win.

I think it was the loot system that really kept me glued to that game. The PvP was horrible, classes were pretty boring after a while, and bosses were a joke. The loot tables and trading were tons of fun though, minus all the duping and other exploits.

I dusted the game off a while back just to see if it would be fun again. Getting used to 800x600 wasn't easy.

I played D2 at launch, and then later with the expansion, but that was years ago. I donated my CD keys to some forum-posting D2 player who needed (or claimed to need) a login for his wife about two years ago, maybe three. They're probably both unemployed from playing too much D2 by now.

I tried the Titan Quest demo, which I thought was beautiful but a bit rough around the edges, particularly in the interface. Diablo 2 + expansion is still the top dog as far as I can tell. Sooner or (probably) later, a Diablo 3 or a quality Diablo clone will be released and I'll buy it.

I dont even remember the TQ demo, but the full version of the game has an excellent interface.
Very easy to set up your hotkeys for special powers. Always easy access to potions and scrolls.
Simple, yet useful menus for character info, skills, and quests.

The add-on lets you do something I have never seen in a single-player game before: Share equipment between your characters.

Many is the time in Diablo 2 that my Necromancer found a kick-ass spear or my druid got a sweet claw. Nothing I could do about it. Had to toss them.

You can also recover runes from items and EVERY item can be imbued with them, not just socketed items.

When I played Diablo 2, I would just create a private game, get it to stick, then rejoin it with my other character. That tactic was multiplayer-only, but let's face it, there wasn't much point to playing Diablo 2 single player anyway.

Yes, just started playing it again a few days ago. Single player only, though.

I'd recommend the big collectors pack.
Dirt cheap and it gives the core game with the add-on as well as the strategy guides for both.
