    Completed Diablo I many times, have a level 85 paladin in DII, 65 paladin, 75 amazon, 50 barbarian and god knows how many deleted characters. Diablo II "open" battle.net is hack central but "Realm" is fine, hacks are removed and fast.

    so you don't like it because you have to pick a single class which can't do everything the others do?

    have you played the game ever?
    in pvp servers you can't get ganked or killed unless you're in contested/enemy territory. if you don't wnat to get killed, don't go there.
    in pve servers you can't get killed unless youre in one of the two pvp arenas i mentioned earlier. can't get killed anywhere else.

    point of this is that in diablo, the servers only stored your character's data. no big requirements for blizzard to have lots of servers. which is why stuff was pretty easily hacked.

    in wow, everything in the game is generated by the servers except for terrain, skins, and how things look.

    i paid $40 for the game and i'm sorry you're pissed becuase they decided to make players split into sides. which is, you know, nothing like any other mmorpg, ever. how about get your friends to play a horde character with you on one server and an alliance one on another like i did?

    its pretty clear to me you've never played this game or you wouldn't have some of the gripes you have beyond the monthly fee.

    That is quite possibly the most wrong question/statement ever. Tactics and WoW don't work, at all. "Look at me ma, I have a Flamberge +1200 that gives me immunity to death and I'm level 60, I'm invincible, better go bash some n00bs" Tactics are not choosing a character, they're fighting enemies in a manner that gives you an advantage other than level and equipment.

    GREAT! Now I can choose between PvPing and PvEing, God forbid I should be able to do both in one server.

    Your point? Many games run heaps of servers and they aren't hacked or laggy.

    What don't you understand about "I shouldn't have to compromise"? Compromise = less fun = rip off.

    Best Nes/Snes/other old console RPG is easily Chrono Trigger. That game had it all.

    Excellent idea. 'specially considering Dad flies trash-haulers (tankers now, but he's still in the community).

    that is simply rediculous. and i actually PLAY the game and i play teh WORST pk class in the game. and i switch tactics a lot.
    equipment doesn't do that much for you except boost some numbers.
    GREAT! Now I can choose between PvPing and PvEing, God forbid I should be able to do both in one server.
    yeah. you can. just one server has one aspect more prevalent than the other.
    Your point? Many games run heaps of servers and they aren't hacked or laggy.
    yeah. and they all have monthly fees. i'm not defending the lag, it sucks. but if you want quality, you have to pay. the lag isn't going to go away if they stop getting money. the size of the server farms blizzard has to run these servers are rediculous.
    What don't you understand about "I shouldn't have to compromise"? Compromise = less fun = rip off.
    if you say you've never compromised or had one of your friends compromise in order to make any game you've played together more experience, you're a liar. or you've never played games with friends.

    On a more serious note...

    There's quite the exchange rate to be taken advantage of in Korea. Weight limit allowing, I'd be willing to take orders, see if I could get a discount on anything while over there. Anybody interested?

    Some of us are still close to that aspect of ourselves. I run around the forest barefoot eating bugs and stuff like that. I just call it survival training camp and people pay me craploads of money to show them how to be ape-like too,

    Once you get used to the ebb and flow of the exchange rate on the open market over there you'll learn when to spend dollars and when to spend won. I figured that I only paid, on average, 85% of the marked value of items due to the constantly shifting exchange rate over there in 99-00. With the money you save over there on their markets you should have no trouble affording to send a lot of stuff home to parents, friends, whomever.

    Good for you, from what EVERYBODY else I've heard speaking about WoW says it has woefully inadewuate PvP. (I'll be damned if I know how I put graphics there instead of PvP beofre)

    Blizzard, now that they have crap employees, felt that they should release the game before it was done and gave it bad PvP compared to other games. Deal with it!

    Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, I've been playing my non-laggy, non-monthly-fees game for the last two days. Playing it alot. In fact you know it's a good game because all of the old Blizzard employees (ones behind Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo and Battle Net) made this game.

    I've compromised sure,

    But I've never had to play on entirely different servers just because of some crap idea that some now crap company made.
