A community that still stands strong after 20 years. Dungeons so fiendishly crafted they never become a chore. A diverse cast of characters ranging in gender and creed. A game that fails to get the attention it deserves in the modern age. While the hairs are greyer, the knee weaker, the lust for Diablo 2 never subsided. Additionally, the jump from peer-to-peer to a fully fleshed out Battle.Net introduced me to a whole new depth of communities and their impact on the playing experience. All of these elements helped me learn skills I struggled to grasp in real life. I grew to understand character building, stats, how to synergize skills and gear. Where Diablo 1 had fundamentally changed my views on video games and what they could be, Diablo 2 took it a step further. All stood awaiting my choice.įondly looking upon the times I had with Diablo 2 with a sense of nostalgia and appreciation beyond belief is commonplace for me. The Barbarian, Paladin, Necromancer all standing out. A party of people huddled around a fire, each representing a unique element.

I knew this threat, I knew the world I was a part of. Diablo 2 the screen would read, adorned with the cold colour palette and gothic styling I’d become so familiar with.

Dark notes dancing down into my ears, brushing past my mind. For a time, a very long time, the simple sounds and glow of the screen kept me curious, excited and afraid.
