Diablo 2 Popularity Dying?

Erm..

I dont think its based ALL on items. Just some. I'm going to do an experiment ~_~. I've started an Orb sorc named Biezabald. Shes going to use ful tals etc etc. Let see how she does.

It's based 90% on items.

Back in .09 when I dueled in private games I noticed those who did best had 'connections' with dupers and got the best items off of DiabloII.net's trading thing. All the time, every time.

4 socket archon of whale.. wham, duper got it.

Ruined D2.

D2 is mostly dying because most loyal blizzard fans switched to WoW

D2 was dead before WoW was even announced -.-

The only time D2 was really 'alive' was when I used 4 ptopaz armor and 3ptopaz helm and did hundreds of Meph runs with my friend.

insolence is correct.. d2 has been dead for a long time.. we have lost good players.. and gained shit loads of newbs... but oh well its a good time passer
