Legacy of the old bear

[Valvolux]

Well I feel that the road of Diablo II is finally coming to an end for me. It has lost all of its magic and charm that kept me playing for over 7 years. So I’ve decided to help someone from the this forum, a forum which has helped me over the years and prolonged my dwindling interest in this game. All my hording of pixels over many year can be pasted onto someone that, I hope, will gain just as much enjoyment from it as I did.

So how can you get your filthy mitts on my hours of hard labour? Well it’s pretty simple, I was going ask something Diablo related but that would be too easy. So the person who can name at least two of the last three albums I’ve acquired, will get my 3 main accounts and 2 mule accounts, characters, items the lot. Simple huh?

Be warned I have somewhat obscure musical tastes…and no hints will be given sorry.

If there is no winner after hmm 1 week, I’ll ask one of the vets to distribute my pixels as they see fit. Best of luck all, post away…

[Verashiden]

Albums and not bands? O_o lemme think on that fun. This should be fun!

[WRcheza]

i just want to guess for fun. not really interested in acquiring your gear...

arcade fire - neon bible
junior boys - so this is goodbye

[whiskers]

johnny cash - country legends, vol2
Jay-z - Kingdom come

Complete guesses, and complete different spectrums of music, but hey... variety is the spice of life :azn:

[Verashiden]

Fallen - Evanescence

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth - Coheed and Cambria

[superjayson]

avile lavgine's the best damn thing ?

[Rawness]

Cradle of Filth - Thornography
Paradise lost - ( newest album )
Death - Ultimate Death collection ( whatever )

[safetypro]

Well I will try my luck at deduction. You are from Australia (Oz) so you will not necessarily have North American musical tastes. Secondly, you have been playing for 7 years, you do not type any of that slang online talk and you call yourself and Old Bear so "Hip Hop" is definitely out of the equation (thank goodness). If you are in my peer group (older....haha), you will probably enjoy classic Rock and Roll however, you said your musical taste was "obscure". Too me, obscure with a classic rock flair means something like Mike Oldfield or Pink Floyd. You could like Jazz or Country and Western however, they are more of a North American acquired taste. Classical...nah, you wouldn't refer to it as obscure. The albums are probably newer or you wouldn't be using them in a contest so my guess is:

Silverchair - Straight Lines
Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder

Best of luck.

[WRcheza]

that was a brilliant deduction, safety. i rather liked how you came to your conclusion hahaha

[superjayson]

What realm is this on ?

[Valvolux]

What realm is this on ?

US West non-ladder, although if you're on Europe, Asia, US East it's a good excuse to broaden your perspective and a chance to play on another realm.

"Wizard of Oz"

I don't think you should give your hard earned stuff away like that because who knows if you might feel the impulse to play again.

[TarnishedHope]

"Happy Days", Catherine Wheel :grin:

Keep your account, and don't give it away. You'll regret it bitterly if you ever decide to come back. I gave my old account away for some chump change to a bud, and I hate him for taking it. :cry:

[Cdnexpat]

Cold Chisels greatest hits
Neil Young Massey Hall 1971
ABBA's greatest hits.

[Valvolux]

"Wizard of Oz"

I don't think you should give your hard earned stuff away like that because who knows if you might feel the impulse to play again.

Depends on the person. When my accounts got expired from inactivity I thought nothing of it when I returned. Started fresh and built up everything again. Now I have two amazing characters that I absolutely love. Starting over was one of the best things for me because I enjoyed having nothing and building up to where I am now just as I did years ago. To me it was part of the game. Cheers :smiley:

[Jary]

Lata Valvolux, you will be missed... or I should say remembered.....

...this is ironic ^^, I just gave away my 2 East NL accounts a few days ago to a few friends I had left. I have an internship in organic chemistry and won't have any time to play anymore since I'll be working 50 hours a week.


I'd like to say thank you to everyone here and all the good times I've had these long 7 years, I won't forget the fun I've had. I may stop back here and there on the forum or west, but doubtful, it's time for me to move on in my life.

Thanks ya'll, and best of luck in the future ;)
:grin: :grin: :grin:

[Summerfun]

Like Valvolux, you to will be missed.... AND remembered!
Good luck with your internship or what ever you might come across in life :wave:

[Valvolux]

Best of luck with the organic chemistry Jary, you were always fun to argue with. :grin:

I was hoping to get this over with fastish, so I’ll change the criteria to guessing just one album out of the last six that I’ve bought.

Some pretty close ones so far, someone will nail it sooner or later…

Hello,
I've made a few tips and converted them in a database:
You can check it here http://ftp.freedb.org/pub/freedb/

Just download freedb-complete-20070601.tar.bz2 file (500mb), open it and check if I'm right at least in one.

(just kidding, I don't think I will ever play somewhere else but Europe, it's nice from you to give stuff to others though)
