Name's Cameron. Played d2 on and off for like 5 miserable years. Just bought Diablo I on ebay, I want to play it before D3 comes out cause I never played the original and I feel left out when people talk about it :'-(

BTW, is Hellfire worth getting? Or should I just stick to the Blizzard titles?

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a Diabloaholic.

I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600 and RPGs since Legend of Zelda on the NES. When Diablo 1 came out in '97 I was still in early highschool with no job but a new PC. I pretty much didn't eat anything while I was at school for a few weeks so I could save up my lunch money to buy Diablo (In the mean time I played the demo like crazy).

By the time Diablo II came out I had my own car and was supposed to be driving myself to school... I pretty much stayed up all night playing it and slept in every morning :P

I've been playing WoW pretty much ever since it came out and I am very eager to throw it out and play Diablo III! Sadly my hopes of Sacred 2 tiding me over until Diablo III is released didn't turn out quite as expected.

Hello folks Played Diablo and then D2 for years. Got into Diablo because it was supposed to resemble Nethack. D2 was the first game I started tracking on the Internet pre-release, following it on this same site. Was in the open beta, killing Blood Raven over and over with my lowbie barb.

.. so good to see Flux et al. still around This site was my introduction to gamer culture, cause though I'd been playing computer games since 1980 or so, I didn't have gamer friends. I learned about flaming and trolls 1337 and all that wonderful stuff on these forums, back in the day.

Haven't played D2 for years, but I try every "diablo clone" that comes out... remember Darkstone, Nox, Dungeon Siege, Sacred, Divine Divinity, Titan Quest, Hellgate? All of those games had their points but none of em was Diablo.

Just hoping that D3 keeps the magic and doesn't go down in flames like Hellgate did :/

I wouldn't bother with Hellfire unless you find yourself playing Diablo a lot. It's not really up to the standard. Fun to mix things up if you play enough to get bored though.

Played Diablo 1 when I was kinda young. I was hooked by the awesome story and extremely dark work. I love the elements of dealing with Hell. I always wondered if any of the bible is true. I am an Agnostic myself. Not sure what's real or right. But I mostly believe the bible has been twisted to be used in a Monetary system like we have today. Only for the greed of man or other purposes. But I love fantasy and anything that deal with the Idea of the Devil is fascinating to me. The Lord Of Terror and his brothers is a brilliant game idea and would make an excellent movie. I just hope some day someone can live up to the expectations of Blizzard to do Diablo and do it justice. I would enjoy seeing it as a Cinematic Film. But really how ever Blizzard would want it done I am sure it would turn out in it's best form. Well I wrote enough lol. Just love this game and also The RTS warcraft series. Sorry I hate wow though. I would enjoy a Word Of Diablo though. It's the perfect game for it I think.

I go by Eonwe, I've been playing the Diablo series since Diablo 1. (I still remember running like crazy to get back to the town when I opened the door to the Butcher that first time.)

I'm not sure why I never joined a huge community like this before, but I hope to get involved with you guys from this point on!
