Diablo 2 is a
Blizzard Classic. It is an online computer
game that was released in 2000. It gained it's popularity in 2001 when the Expansion version was released. Although it is an M rated
game, 95% of those who play it are middle schoolers whose ages range from 11 to 15.
There are 5 character classes (7 if you own the expansion) and 4 different Acts (5 if you own the expansion). In each act there are 6 quests (excluding the 4th which only has 3). The objective of the
game is to complete each quest in each act (some optional, some mandatory) and to increase your level as high as you possibly can. The maximum level limit is 99 and can only be obtained by gaining an absurd amount of expierence by slaying demons in each of the 5 acts. But during your quest to level your character(s)you must also find items to become more powerful. Helm, Armour, Weapon, Shield, Belt, Boot, Glove, 2xRings, and Amulet are the various different forms of items you can find for your character. There are different classifications of items. Common(white) , Magic(
blue), Rare(
Yellow)and Unique(
Gold). Each item holds different abilities than can increase your characters power. Once you complete all 5 acts, you can duel other players (which you can do so at any
time past level 9, but you are usually best suited after completing the
game an containing a fine amount of Power and Skill) to compete to be the best. Or you can simply create a seperate character and start all over.
Diablo 2 is known to be an addictive
game because with every victory against other players you are pushed further and further into your desire. The desire to be the best in the
game. There are millions of players and several young teens all over the world playing non-stop to increase their characters powers as high as they can go.
Although it's not the same craze as it was 3-5 years ago, Diablo 2 is still one of the strongest running and most
popular Blizzard games along with Warcraft. It is a
game that most kids usually quit and outgrow once they reach High
School. Some of the players on d2 are vicious and will do whatever it takes to be the best even if it resorts to hacking.
I quit playing Diablo 2 because the players are childish assholes.
Once you get into Highschool, you mature (hopefully) and d2 becomes a thing of the past for you.
But to those still caught in the craze, I have but one piece of advice:
NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO A
SINGLE SOUL NO MATTER HOW FRIENDLY THEY ARE OR NO MATTER WHAT THEY PROMISE YOU! IF YOU DESIRE TO SHARE YOUR ACCOUNT, ONLY SHARE IT WITH A VERY VERY CLOSE FRIEND THAT YOU SEE OFTEN IN
SCHOOL OR OTHER PLACES, SO THAT IF THEY DO STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU CAN FIND THEM AND GIVE THEM A
NICE AND PROPER ASS-WHOOPING.
Happy leveling :) ... and Good Luck ;)
