OK, I haven't played in a looooong time, but I'm thinking of starting up again.

Is anyone else up for starting up again from beginning to end of Normal (maybe some on Nightmare and Hell if we get into it enough) over the weekend?

If so, let me know, I'll re-install on my comp, and we'll get started. Might be fun if we can get a party of 3 or more together for a day of demon smashing!

We'd just have to quest together, and make sure to not complete other quests while a player goes AFK or disconnects (since if that happens they don't get credit for it unless they were in game too).

I'm pretty much up for playing any class, though I prefer the sorceress (high damage!). I can tank as a Barbarian or Pal, and I'd say I'm the worst with the Druid (I never got good drops with him). I did get an epic Silks of the Victor once with an Amazon (500 Armor + a bunch of stat bonuses).

Just saw your post here. Still Looking 2 play? I had been looking for somebody to "Kick Diablo's Ass" with. I got into D2:Lod late in the game, [so to speak. :P] . I didn't actually get 'til the whole battlechest all-in-one pack had been out for a while. I got online, and wanted to play with some folks, but everybody was like lvl. 99 and never wanted to try playing from the beginning. Of course, I got TONS of people offering to "Rush" me, but what's the FUN in THAT? So yeah, if you're up for it, I'm game. I usually prefer to use either a Necromancer, or Druid. [Why do any work, when you can let all your "Mindless Minions" do it all FOR you, right? ;) xp lol.]

Sounds great to me. D2 is THE hack and slash classic. I have played with the Necromancer, Barbarian, and Sorceress. I will play any of these classes. I have to check my schedule this weekend but would love to play. I might even be able to bring a friend over and play also, from my home network. And it's all good that I am running Linux, because D2 works flawlessly with wine or cedega.

OK...I will install the game today and create an account. I'll post the account name here (account name is what you add to friends list, NOT character name).

It will be on US WEST server starting at 10am PST (sorry East Coasters, you'll have to wait, or on the bright side, you get to sleep in a little longer).

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR UBER LEVEL 100,000,000 CHARACTER WITH EPIC GEAR WHO'S COMPLETED ALL THE QUESTS.

WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A RUSH, WE ARE LOOKING FOR A BALANCED GAME WITH EQUAL LEVEL CHARACTERS PLAYING THROUGH AT LEAST NORMAL DIFFICULTY TO FINISH.

Of course, you can leave at any time, joining late might keep you from advancing with us, since once a quest is completed in a game, it cannot be completed again (so if you miss killing any of the bosses (Andarial, Duriel, Mephisto, Diablo) you cannot advance to the next act. (If it's not too much trouble, we can probably restart for you, but please don't ask us to do it when Act 1 is nearly over).

I WILL MAKE THE GAME AT 10AM PST, AND THERE WILL BE A 15 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD WHERE WE WON'T START LEVEL'ING/QUESTING/ETC. TO WAIT FOR LATE COMERS OR PEOPLE HAVING NETWORK/GAME PROBLEMS.

GAME NAME AND PASSWORD WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON THIS THREAD FRIDAY NIGHT.

OK, Details:

Who: JSH.com people playing Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
What: An Online faux-MMORPG
When: Saturday Nov. 10th, 2007 at 10AM PST
Where: USWEST Server
Why: Because it's fun

Game Name: JUSTSAYHI
Password: wordpass

You can Private Message me, my account name is MeGaMaNxTc (you add the account name to f'list and Private Message, rather than the character name).

Please do not bring your high level characters, this is supposed to be a fun event for all to quest in. So we'll be starting from the beginning on Normal Difficulty. Personally, I think I'll end after that, but you are more than welcome to play through Nightmare and Hell difficulty modes.

I will make the game at 10am PST, but will provide a 15 minute grace period for late comers and technical difficulties.

Hope to see you guys there (if no one shows by 10:30am PST, I probably won't hang around either...).

Kind of a bump, kind of a reminder.

USWEST 10am PST 15 minute grace period before questing/leveling

Game Name = JUSTSAYHI
Password = wordpass

Account Name = MeGaMaNxTc (message me if you have connection issues; I will turn off my firewall)

It starts from Quest 1/Act 1 all the way through Quest 5/Act 5 on Normal, feel free to stay longer for Nightmare/Hell difficulties.

There will be announced intermissions and you can go AFK at any time. Intermissions can be voted upon too, if lots of people have to go AFK for food/potty breaks.

Hope to see you all there!

I don't like to connect through the battlenet servers. The only way I can play is if I join a hosted IP , or host the game my self.

If you make the TCP/IP Game, and post your IP Address, maybe we can work something out.

If not, Battle.net everybody!

Finished up as a level 38 Paladin.

The game is still going, but I'm done for the night.

Don't know how many of you from JSH showed up, but I had this posted on a few other web sites. Good times all around.
