I am currently downloading Diablo II from Blizzard directly. Its been about seven or eight years since I've played. I stopped playing after my so-called friend stole all of my extremely rare in-game items from both of my high-level characters-- a Barbarian and Amazon. I couldn't do it anymore after that.

I started playing a hacked version of the game a couple weeks ago since I lost my CD-Key. Playing through as a single-player character was fun for a while. But I felt there was no point in playing since I would never find any truly unique items and never be able to play on Nightmare difficulty without the help of a party.

I wonder what its going to be like since I've been out of the game for so long. Is the game full of hackers like the first Diablo now? Will I be relentlessly called a 'newb'? Does anybody play anymore?

So the digital download and retail version of the game costs $20. Who knew? The game has been out for 10 years. Blizzard is making an endless supply of monies from WoW, and they still need to charge $20 for a 10-year-old game? And get this, the shitty expansion costs $20 as well! Whatever, I guess I shouldn't bitch. Since I just bought the game.

So... anybody have any unique items they don't want? A little bit of gold? Or does anybody want to party up and haul ass through Hell? Let me know.
