Furious asks, Joe delivers.

I actually started playing with my friend 2 days ago. 

But we're playing Open characters.  We did "/players 8" so we get lottts of experience.  We easily got to level 25 before finishing act 2, and our experience is still going up fast.  It's pretty sweet :)

I didn't "ask" I just figured it would help you get the forum up with some support.

Sadly I know kids at my school who started playing again. :/

I could get level 99 without even starting the game... Open B.Net is terrible ;P

I can beat any of the games I play locally (Deus Ex, Black and White, Neverwinte Nights, Baldur's Gate, etc.) without starting the game.  But if I do that, I wouldn't have any fun with them.  I'm playing to have fun, not to get to level 99.

Yes you do... Sorc with BO/WW/Fanta/Vigor == fun :D

[Joe]

99 is where the fun begins. When you're decked out in your class set and can dominate hell baal on your own, what are you supposed to do? Duel and kick the asses of others.

Fun for a few minutes, perhaps, but the fun in Diablo II is more the journey than the destination.  At least, it is in my opinion.

Dueling is stupid in open, obviously.  Unless you play a game of, "who hacks the best character?" which could be amusing...

My preferred method of playing D2 online.  ;)

[Joe]

Well, open dueling is still skill, but it's more of "Who can get the first shot in?" skill. ^_^

Yeah, the characters have level 99 for each of their skills, and an inventory full of +7 to all skills, +something to each skill tree, +mana, +mana regen, +health, +cast rate. Get hit by a single fireball and you're done.

I am getting on right now :)!
