If you're playing original Diablo, hardly anyone does any more; if you're 
playing Diablo 2, you're better off looking for company in alt.games.diablo2.

Yep, what Mark said.

This group was carpet-bombed by spammers a while back so everybody moved to 
AGD2.

Although, that said, I don't see any of those cross-posts anymore, haven't 
for ages and they were done by nymshifters so my killfile wouldn't keep them 
out. Maybe this group is useable again?

I think it is.  Plus for some people accessing agd2 is difficult because it is not
carried by all usenet providers due to not being setup correctly, from what I have
heard.

In any case, I still check both groups routinely even if I don't post often.  ART
too for that matter.

To stay on topic, I'll mention that I just resinstalled d1 and d2 after having to
reimage my computer.  I know someone mentioned playing d1 again recently and I'd
be interested, although my availability is sporadic at best.  I'd still enjoy
checking in to see if anyone is in 'the game'.  On that topic, now that the trolls
seem to be gone, what is 'the game' for d2, d2c and d1?  Email is fine if it
should be kept out of usenet.

I'm reading it with zero kill-filtering, and this group has been 'clean' 
for many months... Not much traffic, that's for sure, but also no 
deliberate spamming, besides the occasional drive-by spam with a 
score-group, or some random crap which turns up in many more groups.

Regards,

Patrick.

Hi Dave,

'The game', at least as far as D2-LoD ladder goes is still agd/agd. (I 
wouldn't normally mention it publically but it was mentioned in the other 
group recently and it has far more traffic). I don't see the game up often 
though. I think it used to be agdx/agd for off-ladder?

I currently don't have D1 installed, having moved to a second-hand laptop 
(IBM ThinkPad R51) as my day-to-day machine last year. (It saves me $5/week 
in electricity costs and plays D2 just fine...)

Cheers,

Hi Patrick. As I thought then. It seems that the old fueds between the 
members of the two groups (MH etc.) have vanished in the mists of time so 
it's probably best if the D2 players stay in AGD2 I guess. I still check 
this group even though I'm not currently playing D1.

Cheers,

Well, my news provider does not carry agd2, and this place has been
100% clean for the last month that I have been monitoring it and
posting in it, so AGD it is, for me.

Well I, and quite a few others, will be still checking in here regularly.

Wow-so I finally got newsgroups working again in Thunderbird (don't know 
why, it just wouldn't log in for years, then suddenly it did), and here 
I find this group still alive, and readable!

I've been playing Tribal Wars for the last several years 
<http://www.tribalwars.net/> (browser based game), but I've been able to 
keep my D2 realm chars alive, just not playing much.

Lots of familiar names on here...hard to believe it's been over 10 years 
since I got 'hooked'

Yup, it seems that quite a few of the old guard are lurking hereabouts these 
days. Good to see....

I'm still kinda here, as well, but I only check the groups every now and then
since I never really post anything to begin with.

LOL, that's about it with me and D1. I *will* play again (I did at the start 
of last year), just not at the moment. However, I download this group daily 
with my other newsgroups.
