on a side note...has anyone heard anything about D3 yet?

The only hints were blizzard hiring a few 3D artists and programmers several months ago, but that could have been to help out with the WoW expansion.

Blizzard rarely says what they are working on until they have something to show off.

I am guessing they won't have a whole lot for the show this year?

Probably not, sadly when they packed up blizzard north I lost hope of diablo 3 coming out anytime soon if at all. Right now WoW is the priority, and my guess is they are already working on expansion number 2.

a pally is going to be hard at higher levels

you should almost always roll a sorc or barb first. Stack the MF and get to nightmare meph runs. Get some gear and then roll the character you want. If you are hungry for more, build a sorc and get like 300 MF on hell meph runs and you will be able to gear out a level 80 character in about 2-3 days :x

I still can't bring myself to let my accounts expire. Every now and then I sign in just to refresh em.

Blizzard North was originally an independent company. It was established in 1993 under the name Condor, founded by Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik. The company was purchased and renamed by Blizzard about six months before the release of their hit PC game, Diablo, in 1996. Diablo proved to be a considerable success, and the still-more successful sequel Diablo II was released in 2000. An expansion pack followed the year after.

On June 30, 2003, several key employees left the company to form the new companies Flagship Studios (8 moved here) and Castaway Entertainment (9 moved here). Two unannounced games were in production at the time, with one forced to be canceled due to around 30 employees leaving the company in total. Geoff Fraizer of Blizzard Entertainment has since said the canceled game was a "Blizzard North kind of game", from which some draw the conclusion that "Diablo 3" has been canceled. Blizzard North had worked only on Diablo games since Blizzard's acquisition of Condor until the time of this exodus. The resignations were partly due to a conflict with Blizzard Entertainment's owner Vivendi, and partly due to employees wishing to start something new.

On August 1, 2005, Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North, saying that remaining employees were moving to its head offices to resume work on an unannounced project.

Paladin + lvl 45 fan aura + wirts leg = $$$$????





I was fireball/blizzard scorc, hammerdin,wind druid exterminator with my barbarian when I was still playing....

What an awesome game. That addiction was harder to break than WoW. Must not reinstall... I don't know how many different characters I ran to level 80 with. The worst was losing my 93 hydra sorc (hardcore all the way).

This is quite true and is usually what i do at the start of new ladder seasons. I have quit currently and am waiting for a new season to begin.

I eventually found myself playing just to get to the next cutscene in D2. Played the first one to death, though.

Necromancers rock. I still just get up to blood golem and iron maiden and can walk into anything. Cow level is great too.

hahahah cow level... moooo

Much has changed since the days of the moo moo farm. You can still do the area, but the exp and item drops were nerfed. Now a days, everyone does baal runs, and runs the other 3 andy, meph, and diablo, along with the key runs, nilithack, summoner, and countess.

Runewords are now the main thing to go for when you want some nice gear, mf is almost completely useless.

Wow your mad delayed and behind the times. No one plays D2 anymore, it's for peons. Catch up with the times and go out and get WoW.

i finally let mine die last year. all 5 of them. i played from 97 to about a year and a half ago, when i decided my WoW addiction needed more time. i do miss my 96 HC assassin, my 99 trisorc and my barb, but im getting over it. still hoping for a D3 too.

 

[D1gger]

I bought Diablo II and the expansion when they first came out and still play it today.

I don't know what this means, but I'm a level 19 Paladin now.

imbue... lvl32 is the min level to imbue for the uber weapons + armor

 

[waggy]

sigh i want to play again. wonder if i still have my cd's? heh

 

[DougK62]

I always played a Paladin. I'd get him so that his resistances to everything was at or near 100 and he was darn near indestructible.

 

[ElFenix]

it's not an rpg, it's a click-fest adventure game.

 

[waggy]

damnit i cant find the disk. heh i found the case but no disk in it. sigh also can't find the expansion either bah!

 

[spaceman]

1998?


you'd be waiting for diabloII on your pentium 2 and maybe dial up too.

 

[Raduque]

Man, DiabloII....I remember when that game came out I lost so much of my life to it. I and a friend played straight through from scratch all the way up through Hell over one summer after LoD came out.... We pretty much played non-stop with breaks only to sleep and use the toilet.

I've also lost hope for a Diablo III..... Titan Quest is the spiritual successor to DiabloII and I'm playing it like crazy.

Ah, thanks. I am using some kind of axe with 3 socketed gems right now. That's one thing I really like about this game, lots and lots of different weapons and armor.

Isn't that a pretty fair description of just about any video game since infocom?
