Hey, Jamie,

I keep meaning to do this, but somehow don't get around to it. I got a 
sorceror up to level 30 or so last year, but I did it all solo and got 
bored. 

Bruce was there the first time I ever got a character to 50 and a lot of 
other people along the way, and it was a lot of fun.

You're in NZ and I'm in California, so coordinating might be a bit of a 
problem, but I'd love to give it a go again.

Hmm. A fresh install of Diablo 1.00 off the original CD and I can't connect 
to bnet at all. I get the "searching for fastest server" message, then a 
"cannot connect" red panel. Yes, I did tell my firewall it wouyld be OK.

Any ideas?

Mark.

Sorry to follow up my own post and all that, but I figured out you need to dl 
the 1.09 patch and apply it yourself, rather than getting Diablo to do it 
from bnet the way it used to do.

Mark.

Hmmm... I most recently installed D1 under WinXP with Fusion (I'm on a
Mac) and I had trouble at the time updating. In the end I just grabbed
the standalone updater. I also opened all these ports:

HTH! :-)

Woot! :-) WEll, do you want to email me and exchange IM nicks? That
might be the best way to quickly see if the other is around and able to
play.

BTW - I'm going to SUCK to begin with, heh. It's been ages since I even
played SP seriously. I hope you'll be forgiving. I've a copy of Jarulf's
guide at the ready so I know what shrines are what, etc.

I know I am about two weeks late, as I do not check heree very often any
more.  But D1 would be great to do again.  I, like Mark, am on the West
Coast of California

You can reach me at Wailwulf (at) hotmail.com to see about times.  Saturday
days and Friday nights  are out form me here on the West Coast.

And you are right, the atmosphere od Diablo is better then it's sequel.

Hail, Wulf! Just killing some time and being sociable here while
waiting for D3 to amble along. I would love to play D1 again, but for
me, I just can't go back to 640x480 graphics. I tried a couple years
ago to load it up and play it again, but it was pretty pixelicious on
my 21" monitor of the time. Now that I'm running a 24" widescreen at
1920x1200... well, there's just no way ;-) You could rest your beer on
the flat top of a D1 pixel-square. Ah well, on.... to the future--->
hehe!

You could play in a window. That's what I'm doing and it looks as good
as it ever was :-)

How do you play D1 in a window? I know you can do it in D2 but I didn't 
know you could in D1.

Hehe, nah. I'm spoiled by widescreen technicolor beauty. Never could
stand playing games in mini windows, it's gotta be fullscreen or
nothing for moi.

I forget on a PC, but on a Mac it's Command-M.

Heh, well there's always D2 - though I play that in a window too as it
looks awful on my 24" screen. Starcraft is funny - Battlecruisers are
funny - they're truly MASSIVE now :-D
