Single Player FAQ, Tips & Character Guides updated 22 May08

Single Player FAQ, Tips and Character Guides

Welcome to the SPF. The place where Bnet is banished and SP/MP is king.

GAME MODS
RRM, RWM, CRM, ATMA, GoMule

The Mods, Muling and Utilities Thread

These are the *only* mods and utilities allowed to come into contact with the items/characters/stashes to be traded/MP'd here.

This forum does not support hacks/cheats/editors. Don't ask for them and don't MP/trade with them. What you do on your own machine is up to you, but we don't want them in our trade/MP pool. Any questions, PM a Moderator.

Language
Don't cop an attitude in PMs or public posts. It won't be tolerated.

Re: Single Player FAQ, Tips & Character Guides updated 22 May08

Before I de-Sticky this, I wanted to say a big "thank you" to AE for this guide.

It was a great help to me when I joined this forum and I'm sure everyone else feels the same way too.

There goes the old bible of SPF play. Thank you very much for compiling it AE, it still is the basis for the single player forum, although Thy did mangle it a little.

Re: Single Player FAQ, Tips & Character Guides updated 22 May08

My first port of call for any question I've had about D2 since I found this forum. Thanks to everyone who put this together or updated it for taking the time to put it together and doing such a good job of it in the process.

Almost sad to see this go. I remember using some parts of this guide back in my b.net days and between b.net and my current SP-era, when I had no active account here. One of the better FAQs/guides on the site.
