New Diablo II patch is out! Also tomorrow they are reseting the ladder. I am guessing nobody cares but me. =)
I'd say that's pretty likely.

I played D2 for a long time, but it got too repetitive many moons ago.

weretable, I happily sacrificed many hundreds of hours to Diablo II and the expansion. I still miss my sorceress and assassin, but fear I'd never leave the house if I started playing again.

I made about $250 selling D2 items on eBay. But yeah, it took over my life. Must find.. one more item.. could be the big one!

Ha, agro! Totally. And sneaking in 'just 15 minutes' only to hobble to the bathroom 5 hours later after realizing that stomach ache was actually your bladder at capacity.

I confess to using the codes that increase difficulty in the game (reasoning that it wasn't making things easier), mimicking having extra players in my party so I could have a better chance of getting powerful items. Doing that long enough demonstrated that the better (not even best) items were like lottery jackpots, while the lesser items were comparatively easy to come by. It got frustrating seeing the same set items turn up again and again. But mostly, it twigged me to the odds of the system.

*shoots loq*

I liked 1.10 because it made it possible to find the really high runes and uniques - not entirely easy but possible and made the game more challenging. I allowed my accounts to expire though when I didn't have time/desire to play. But I am going back to the game for a while since in the new patch (1.11) they have added a bunch of uber bosses to fight (including tougher versions of meph/diablo/baal all at one time) and it's probably the only game I have played that I can keep going back to over and over. Rumors are that Diablo III is being worked on right now, built on the World of Warcraft engine. *shrugs*

Sorry. I think you've all just witnessed the dorkiest thing I've ever typed anywhere. I'd just woken up with hangover.

Blah. I wonder how long I'll be an officer in Guild Wars before they kick me out for non-participation? (perhaps already)

There is reached a point where grinding for a kick ass sword becomes, even to the most die-hard video game fan, a complete and utter waste of time.

Well, the Diablo II was OK, but the fuel economy wasn't too good and I found the seats a little hard. That's just my opinion, though.
