Well I finally gained enough willpower to step out of the world of Diablo 2 for a while. Been playing all day yesterday and today on Battle.net. The new ladder is very hard to play.

I have a level 21 Necromancer and just finally got to act 3 (out of 5) in normal difficulty. I have to hand it to the guys at Blizzard. They sure did a good job with the new patch. The game is a lot more tough to play. Which to some may sound bad but to fans of the game it's great!

It's not uncommon for a player in a single day to play through all 3 difficulties (normal, nightmare, hell) and be level 50+. Spend another week or so doing level up runs in certain areas and you can have a level 80-90 character. It just go so easy to create high level characters that people quit playing the actual game. It became more about trading and obtaining all the most sought after weapons and items.

So anyways with the new patch the ability to rush through and make a high level character is almost completely removed. People have to actually play the game again and it's great!

Oh no! Some friends just IMed me and asked if I wanted to play till we get to act 4. I Guess I have nothing else to do!

I'm so weak!
