One of the three most popular video game series of Blizzard Entertainment – Diablo II, has finally come to a close for me. I’ve been sporadically playing this game over the span of ~6 years. (had it in 2004 when I was 11 or 12) It’s brought me many moments of rage and excitement but it’s just no longer a “fun” game anymore. I occasionally log on to refresh my character names but the community is atrocious with all these hackers, botters, and illegitimate players over the years. I obtained a copy of this from one of my cousins and I found it to be pretty addictive at first. The main reasons of me leaving are that I’ve already left a lot of characters to expire and the fact that I’m almost starting my first year of university soon. There were some good times such as witnessing one player that kept repeatedly dying towards normal Diablo. (I remembered laughing so hard ’cause the guy was running away and died by his flames so many times) Bad times were when I kept getting naked body killed during duels, and that wasn’t fun at all.
This is my main account, *Algebra on the US East/non-ladder/softscore server (I sold some names):
I’m just gonna let the names expire since I’ve sold everything that was valuable for forum gold beforehand. Of course, I’ve played about every almost popular build for each character class there is. (like Blizzard Sorceress, Hammer Paladin, Trap Assassin, etc.) They’ve all grown bland is all.
Diablo II was also my only PC game that I played in the anime pre-anime days. I was e-friends with plenty of people in the actual game and then in the year – 2007, I joined the d2jsp forums because someone told me about it in a Baal run. I was a bit skeptical at first because I was wondering how the forum gold system worked. My general reaction was ‘wtf is fg and how does it work?’ I joined March 23rd, 2007 but didn’t make any transactions until April 25, 2007. Throughout the years I’ve known some really cool people on there like da-xia aka Mike, guiltygearXT aka Will, PsycTint aka Colman, and Arkbound aka Clifton. I knew them all via the anime sub-forum/guild. I initially posted a lot in there for several months then I became more a lurker as time passed on. It’s been fun though, it’s just filled with so much hate for newcomers and spam threads these days. Overall, I’m glad I found out about d2jsp because it provided a more effective method of communication between players & traders and established a form of currency for Diablo II itself.
Now just to add a hint of Fate to this post, I am gonna bring my 2 Fate plushies and the first teacup with me to UF ofc~ Fate hopes everybody had a wonderful and safe summer! Enjoy the rest of it to the fullest and cherish it!
