I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!

Judging by my chat logs with hellbent as he was hosting, that was six hours of Diablo II fun. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Even though the Sunday game is now over, I figure we can still use this thread to see if anyone's up for smaller games. Just post when you want to play.

Since the upcoming Diablo III got us all excited for the hack and slashing, we've decided to organise some Diablo II fun for people on the KATG forums.

Game name:
brumski

Password:
nobrumski

Gateway:
west coast

----

If you don't already have Diablo II but want to join in the fun, here's a happy fun guide!

You can get Diablo II and it's expansion for a mere $5.45 on digital download worldwide:

Hellbent found this link which will instantly give you a working CD key for Diablo II and it's expansion for $5.45 via paypal.
After that, go here, create an account and register your CD Keys (all fast and easy processes) to download Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion from Blizzard.
Once downloaded, your installation cd key is in your Blizzard account, under 'games' (click 'view game key').
????
PROFIT!

This works, I just did it.

This will be updated with more details as we organise it.

Post if you intend to join us.

Voice communication.

Hellbent has volunteered his vent server if anyone wants to use it for this.
72.51.47.218
8449

Ventrilo, or (vent for short) is a voice communication program. it will allow us to talk in game and co-ordiante our bullshit.

download it here:
http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=1
input
72.51.47.218
8449
and press connect.

please set your talk to PTT - push to talk instead of voice activated. I dont need to hear you calling your mom for more soda.

Resolution and running in a window.

Since Diablo II is an oldish game, it runs in a low resolution. There's no way of upping this beyond 800x600 without using a hack and getting kicked from battle net but you can run it in a window.

Just create a shortcut for the game, right click, click properties and add -w to the end of the target field. eg "C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -w
