YAYYY! I just bought the hellfire expansion for 7$. now we can all have more fun.
I also wanted to start a single player game on nightmare using jarulf's method, but found that I had to have a multiplayer character of level 20. I started to work on building a multiplayer c. up that way, and had my first experience of trying to retrieve my corpse!
I eventually got bored and downloaded one of those hacks just to scoot my mplayer up to level 30 and I don't have to worry about it anymore. had some trouble finding one that would work with the right version.

Been playing Diablo on nightmare, having a lot of fun, started getting my but waxed in the caverns, and decided to start over again and build a stash of gold from stuff in the earlier levels.
In my insanity I decided I wouldn't take anything back to town until I got down to level 5, and could take the catacomb stairs.

The ridiculousness starts when I go down to Leoric's tomb, and I decide to see how much stuff I can get off him. I lured him into the central room, and then just refused to ever hit him as he raises lots of skeletons from the ground. I would just bash his minions, and pick up the stuff they drop.

Every 30 - 40 skeletons, I find myself saying "I've got to pawn some of ths stuff", and would head for the stairs back to level 3. Go over by the stairs down to level 4 and drop my load. with my backpack now empty, go back and let good old Leoric raise a few dozen more skeletons for me to bash. Rinse and repeat.

pretty soon there's no room for me to move around by the stairs, there's so much stuff on the ground. I decide to take a break from leoric and went to clear out levels 4 and 5, and stage my stuff by the stairs on level 5 going up to town.

Went and got the junk I had left sitting around on levels 1,2, and 3 while I was at it.

on my umpteenth trip to drop my stuff in this large chamber next to the stairs, I went to drop a great sword and COULDN'T DROP IT. I tried moving to an empty space. I tried dropping other stuff. I tried moving several screens away. nothing more could be dropped on the entire level until I picked something up.

It appears that there is a maximum limit to how many item can be on the ground at any given time, which I had never suspected before.

Long story short (Too Late!) I gave in and sold all my crap and finally put Leoric out of his misery.
Total haul:
70,000 gold in dropped gold.
25,000 gold from selling ordinary items
45,000 gold from selling enchanted items
about 1,800,000 experience points and went from level 28 to 29.

mybe I'll try it again on hell difficulty if I get crazy enough.

After AOL deleted my hard drives a while back, I lost a lot of stuff I had found on the net. I got Jarulf's Guide back (thanks Chow Yun Fat)

I can't seem to find a certain page I found hilarious. the guide to the secret cow level was this riotously funny collection of ways to get to the mythical cow level. there must have been around 20-30 of them!!

one of my favorites was this one where you kill the butcher, leave the undead crown on the ground, go down to level 4, meet Gharbad The Weak, except it says on your cursor "The Baker", leave what he drops on the ground, go see Snotspill (all 3 together for this special occaision), now called "The Candlestick Maker", and he will drop a scroll of cow portal.

there was also the one where you could get Gillian to say she, instead of her grandmother, had a dream about you. to take advantage of this, all your equipped stuff had to have the "ruby" prefix.

of course it was all a bunch of hooey, even though the page's author had claimed to have used every one of those methods. But it was a lot of fun.

and now I CAN'T FIND IT!!!

can anyone tell me where this hilarious page can be found??

Please, please, please???

you ask, "Why should I buy diablo 2 when it is still too darned expensive?"

answer: cause its worth the money.

and also, play diablo on battle.net, it is so much funner playing with other people then alone.

I do have to agree, diablo and diablo II are the two most addicting games I have ever played, and yet if you think about it, they are the most boring, all you do is go around and kill monsters and then pick up whatever they drop...still, they are my two favorite games...of course until civ3 comes out, then the second diablo and civ3 will be my two favorite, I guess civ2 is just too horrible for me to place it on my "top games" list, if I did rank it, I would put it in...about 5th or 6th place.

Tried D2, didn't like it...

I did go on battle.net at one point. it was fun going around with a few others and killing monsters, but then one of them trapped me in a room and demanded a duel. I wasn't interested, but he wouldn't get out of the way. I had to quit the game in order to get out.

Maybe I'll try it again. I'm also thinking of taking some old computere parts and setting up a second computer right here at home, and getting a network game going. maybe my wife will be the warrior while I'll be the rogue and shoot around.

Now, does anyone know the website for the secret cow level? not the D2 version, but that page full of bullhooey detailing about 20 ways to get to the cow level in diablo 1.

Please?

Are you telling me that page was a hoax???

Darn! It was a good one!

I was too lazy to try but it was so much fun to think about! And the specific details he wrote in the site....

I don't quite rememebr the address though, sorry.
