1.10 I think. You won't ever know about it until you start playing with people on forums and such. If you are a lone rider like I was when I played this game, you will never know anything. Soon as I joined IRC and stuff, I got tons of uber games I could join with my self-rushed lvl 8s and such. :D Pure vit hammerdin ftw. :D

so are you up for rushing anyone?

I stopped playing in May '08. I gave away all my CD Keys and accounts. I had like six different hammerdins. X_X All fully armored with enigma and stuff, it was awesome. Could only run like one or two bots at a time though... *Sigh*

So no.

Am I seriously the only person who played Diablo 2 without cheating or boosting?

I'd say you're probably in the minority. The only thing I ever used was a maphack and I don't see how this adversely affects anyone else. All it does is remove some of the time wasting map exploring and make the "grind" a bit faster.

I hated playing the game normally, I got my maphack and then used d2loader to make the screen windowed and to my preferences. The game is unbearable otherwise unless you are playing with friends. I would self-powerlevel myself in uber tristram. I'd have autohammer going on one guy and let my other sit around and chillax and take in the massive XP. (Level 25-70 in under five minutes)

Second you can get those CD keys for cheaper. I know a guy who sells them for less.

Trist to 15. Tombs to 20, cows to 25. Norm baal - 40. Get rushed to nightmare baal, do those runs until you are about 65. Then hell ancients, hell baal runs until you are about 85. Then you do Chaos runs in A4 in hell the rest of the game. (It's WAY better XP when you get to that level. Also, some awesome loot)

Yeah i was there a day or two ago, looking for maphack. Mousepads was apparently undetectable in 1.11b and since 1.12 only added the no cd functionality (to my knowledge) it should remain undetectable but it dosent work because the game version has changed :( I dont know if mousepad will update it or not.

No matter, im only making 1 character, the days of my 8 85+ chars are gone, ill save that kind of effort for diablo III :D I just wanna beat on some newbs like the old days.

Mousepad won't be updating it (and he hasn't for awhile, others have), but there are working MH's out there.

I believe one of the things changed in 1.12 is the CD check, so you should be able to go without the CD without needing a hack.

Yep, you have to have a full install of the game for it to work though.

Trident linked a site, although I don't know how reputable it is. They are out there though. There's actually a "hack" that allows you to play 1.11 on bnet still, and use all the older hacks and whatever they had (not sure, I didn't play 1.11b).

These "people" can't even be bothered spelling the word "you" most times, you're asking a bit much...

Can someone explain ladder? At work so can't look it up (most sites blocked).

Also, am I understanding it correctly that to powerlevel toons you just max 1 toon out and get a key to run 2 instances of Diablo2 at the same time in the same game?

ladder has some ladder-only runewords, unique items and cube formulas, and there's a toplist that shows highest level characters. it resets every few years, all the characters currently on ladder gets moved to nonladder and a new season starts.

you don't need to max, if you have good gear, you can do baal at level high 80s, but there are so many baal games you don't need to run yourself usually. but if you do want to, then yes, 2 sets of keys are required (exp + classic)

Ok so what ive gathered about levelling is:

Tristram runs till level 15 --> Tomb runs till level 25 --> Normal baal ruls till 40 --> Nightmare baal runs till 70 --> ?? Hell baal runs i guess

Ive gone from level 1-66 in 3 days by doing this

this is the really nice but rush to the hell baal is very hard for solo without nice gears and if u build the wrong char means waste lots of time
So i just order the power lving service when i want to build new chars

http://www.mmo1st.com/diablo-1...g-61/useast-ladder-63/

this site is very professional done in 48 hours for any class any lv

try it

enjoy for your D2 time

How retarded would you have to be to pay for a leveling service on a game that is a decade old.

Awfully cheap, though, $12 for a level 70 char with all the quests done. I'm against paid levelling in MMO's where it affects other players, in Diablo it doens't seem too bad.

I remember playing it several years ago on dial up and it was fine. It should be similar to Starcraft as far as ping and response. I wouldn't think you'd have any problem. :)
