dude im just gonna say that even though i dont have much exp with MMO's this is the best ive played with the best community, Diablo 2's comunity is so full of cheats that if i ever get on and mess around with my 99 lvl charachters i do so alone and completley legit i mean if you wanna play a legit game there and even on realms your pretty much playing passworded games by yourself or with trusted freinds. such a turnoff (diablo 1 was way more fun anyway)
everyone has been very helpfull. the only resourse for noobs that i miss is the HTH function i spent over 8 months flying head to head until they shut it down. even then i had just the basics of flight down, and it has been maybe a less steep learning curve (the MA is a completely different beast.
still i have the most fun on squad nights, and i know that my knowledge of the game has only grown since getting into a good squad with guys who train on a regular basis.
i used to country jump a lot and it kept me from meeting folks to fly with i would go to wichever side had the least, cause i thought it was more fair, but now i pretty much stay rooks, and ill tell everyone regardless of the Alt monkey tags rooks and everyone gets.
(there are some very good and very nice players on the rook side)
but its a secret so dont tell anyone.
