Back to basics

[Malle]

Hi all,

newB d2-gamer here!

I'll probably become a d2-basic player. Here's my story:

I've been into gaming for years, and discovered the mmorpg's about two years back. I never payed a dime for any game, up till now. Kind of a habit from when i didn't HAVE a dime to pay for anything:-)
So I played Astonia 3 and Conquer. Both were fun for some months, but the first was a bit to basic and the last was ... well felt like work in the end.
After an intense time of conquer-playing (top ranking char in my server) I left the mmorpg's for some time.

I remembered the existence of Diablo a few days ago, and the fact that I liked the demo. So I decided to 'test' the game. Played solo untill I reached the summit in the expansion-set. Which I found a bit to hard to get past on my own. So I went searching for ways to play it with some other folks. Still in my in habit of cheap-bastard, I found a nice server. alas, only modded d2-versions there....

I'm becoming nuts from all the options and possibilities of crafting and characterbuilding and trainers and stuff over there...:shocked:
I can't take it anymore... I want more simplicity. Even the expansion I found a bit :prop: when I first installed it.
So there it goes: I've ordered the original D2 so I can play it a bit more relaxed and with some -hopefully- decent servers on b.net .
:listen: Yes, I'm finally paying to play :) paying for simplicity

Welcome to the D2.net forums! We have been here a long time and it is good to see others being n00bs. Don't worry, you won't be a n00b for long.

We play a legit game here, no mods, hacks, trainers, etc... I am sure some people think those are necessary, but they are just cheaters and don't play the game the way it was meant to be played.

I hope you can find a home here. This little corner of the forum is for D2 gaming without LOD expansion, as I am sure you have figured out. Please read the rules of the forum, check out our stickies and have fun!

Like Dacar said Malle, welcome :azn:

Man, what I wouldnt do in order to get that "first-time-impression" of what d2 really is... :rolleyes:

I remember loving the original diablo soo much and when I finaly got d2 I decided to make a paladin simple because he reminded me of the diablo warrior.. Man did I play him for hours... I didnt really get anywhere and it took forever before I reached diablo and I battled him for nearly 20 minuts I think.. So much for using a paladin with normal attack combined with might skill only.. And oh yea.. a flail ~40 dmg :grin:

Just to get back on track here Malle im sure I can offer you some help in game if you need it but take my advise and get the "first-impression" instead of rushing it over and over like other including me..
