I still don't know who started me on it, but all i know is I found D2 at the bottom of a box of CDs back in feburary of this year. I hate you whoever did that!
As did I. I thought Warcraft 1 and 2 were pretty cool so I went looking for other games blizzard made. I picked up Diablo 1 demo and I was hooked after 5 minutes. I have been playing since then. I was even in the Diablo 2 stress test... I finally think I am done with D2 already. I haven't played in a few months, and I don't see any reason to start again. I will wait patiently for WoW.
My brother left D1 up and running many years ago and I stumbled upon it by accident. Though I had played Red Alert and Total Annihilation somewhat it was D1 and then D2 that hooked me. Currently I am in remission from D2 and not playing that much but sure as winter is here now in Alaska I will be playing a lot more.
