I got the itch to try this game again. Hardcore multiplayer on this game was probably some of the best gaming I've ever had XD. Anyone else got fond memories of it to share or interested in playing multiplayer sometime?

I remember playing it on my uncle's laptop when I was younger. It was the middle of the night--actually, probably only 10pm, but I was like 10--and I had to be sneaky because it was rated M and if my mom caught me playing it, I was afraid she'd be furious. I was only able to get to fighting Blood Raven, then my uncle took his laptop back to his house. Since then, I've gotten my own copy and beaten Diablo and Baal into the ground multiple times. Never been able to get a full set of anything though, no matter how many times I played.
I can't play this game anymore. Me and a friend used to play ti so much, it's completely dead to me now. Been on too many Baal runs to be able to enjoy it. Doesn't help that Hammerdins are still ridiculously overpowered and the only reasonable way of soloing hell difficutly.
I was thinking about Hammerdins the other day actually, and I realised something completely ridiculous about them. Without Hammerdins, there's no easy way to do Baal runs, so there's no quick way of levelling up through the 70's and 80's. That means it'd be a ton harder to make effective magic finding builds, which means there'd be a lot less unique items, high tier runes and rune words rolling about. Since that's what the online economy is built on, I realised that the entirety of the essentially player built economy revolves around a single hilariously broken skill on one class. Nerf the Hammerdin, and you trigger a fucking recession.

I played this game way too much. It took less than four years for it to become practically unenjoyable. Then Titan Quest surpassed it anyways. And I've never been big on multiplayer stuff so nothing there.
I'm just so glad that Diablo III is coming.
