I have been wanting to play this game again for a while now - and this weekend I borrowed it from a friend, so I am once in again in the realm of Diablo II + expansion!

lol good luck

hehe. I wouldn't play the expansion.

Everyone has cookie cutter loot and nobody does really anything interesting.

Unless you really want to play the expansion characters I'd go with classic D2

well, see the trick is.. don't play it online! I'm just doing single player - and it works great
