I finished DSII just once so far, but only because I decided that an archer is too effective for his own good as the lead character. So I started making a barbarian. DSII has slightly better replay value than D2, if only because the equipment  and spells don't stay the same on replays (since you keep your level when going to a higher difficulty, the equipment has to keep progressing). Too bad the enemies just get meaner though.

Also, there's one thing that makes DS1 outshine DSII - a separate multiplayer world (and the powder bomb spell, I loved that bouncing thing). DSII's multiplayer is the same setting, just played in cooperative. DS1's is a completely new "wide open quicksandbox". Damn, I really have to find DS1 now. I lost my CD somewhere...

And yes, DS is good because you can sit back and enjoy the action. It feels a lot like a tactical strategy game, almost X-Com (Apocalypse), only hideous fantasy monsters instead of hideous sci-fi aliens. Yeah, bad comparison. But at least you don't have to click on every monster in the mob that's attacking you. Prolongs the mouse's life.

If you play D2 right, then (depending on character) youre capable of slaughtering large groups of foes in matter of seconds. Or less.
Well, apparantly my preferance is not to fight small fights but carnage and mayheim. I get enough of the small fights in mmos
and yes, bad comparison. I wouldn't even had associated the games

Creepy, I was literally just minutes ago playing Diablo 2 with a friend of mine for the first time in many months and I come here to see this thread.

So, yeah, I have Diablo and LoD and I might even play them with you people. I'm (or was) hanging in the Europe realm with my intimidatingly powerful ladder-Sorceress, but I guess I could visit your fancy US realms to play.

I'd probably play a Werebear or something like that I've never done.

[Hawkfrost]

I'll play, but I don't have expansion.

[KaelGotDwarves]

You guys just want to do a passworded open BNet?

I know the character deletion thing is annoying, even if it is three months. That way we can use our own characters and come back whenever.

Let me know soon so I won't get too deep into it. I can keep a server up and running a lot of the time.

All my characters are on BNEast, but if everyone wants to start from the beginning or you don't mind a level 1, then sure.

[KaelGotDwarves]

I have a character on USEast as well.

I think it'd be cool if we just do open bnet so we can play with each other or offline if we want to.

I'll post server info shortly.

[Deon]

Ah, if only you could play on some "secondary" server . Then I'd join.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Okay, new char up... PM me if you want my IP address.

[Deon]

OK, I may be able to be in. Installing D2 right now.

[KaelGotDwarves]

I'm fighting whether I want my main to be barb, nerco, pala, sin, or amazon

I guess it depends on what everyone else chooses.

[Deon]

Don't get barb. I want some diversity . Every time I played multi my comrade took a barbarian. Expansion characters sound much more interesting.

[Deon]

Will anybody else play?

[Sowelu]

Is this an expansion game or a vanilla game?

[Deon]

Expansion, 1.12a. However Kael wanted me to join him via LAN... Which is impossible without Hamachi.

Who uses Hamachi here?
