HERE WE GO

[kandrathe]

I hate to say it, but I think my Diablo days are over.  But the community that kept me gaming is pretty much gone, much in the same way separated high school friends are no longer friends. The common circumstances that kept us together disappeared.

I would say more like a bar crowd, and you've elected not to go there anymore. When you go back, they've remodeled (a project which took well over a year) and now the crowd that hangs there is very different. The place even feels different, and sort of strange.

I would say though, that it is a new game. There are many games out there with better graphics, or better role playing, but Diablo is still an enjoyable dungeon crawl game. You may or may not choose to go back to that remodeled bar, but its still there, and there are still people there worthy of befriending.

I spent a few hours at it last night and started an attempt at an arty necro (who is level 7 now) utilizing the bone synergies. And, I ran into a new bug already, which is sad considering how long they had it in beta. But it was still fun and in some ways more challenging. I'm not shooting to even be on the ladder, as I don't have the time to devote more than a few hours a week to playing it. But as a diversion, it still has merit, imho.
