Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I've been following this site for a while for news on Diablo 3 and finally got around to joining.
I'm so excited I acctually re-installed and started playing Diablo 2 LOD the other day for the first time in about 5 years. It's still so awesome, but a bit frustarting right now. I remember way back when I had some items and was always looking forward to finally being able to use them. So my question is, whats the best way to start up again? Best way to at least get some medicore items for something to look forward to. Any thoughts?
I actually grabbed my CD's from a friend because I thought about starting back up....but I know I'll just get bored again and quit within a couple of days. Lol, I'd say beg. And does anyone know when the ladder is going to reset?
Ladder reset is occuring when the new patch gets out of the Public Test Realm

If you're playing singleplayer you really have no other option but to find your own items, but it ain't that bad really! It makes the game a little bit more challenging and fun since you can't always save your stats and skills for later use as opposed to getting boosted online.
Which brings me here. If you do play multiplayer, try playing through normal without any kind of boost first. I always find that kind of relaxing and fun. If you want gear you can either ask for it, beg for it or try to find it yourself. When you get to the higher levels and Hell difficulty, even with a nice build and mediocre items you can kill some bosses and they might hand you some nice items

Good luck!
I agree. I played SP for years and after finishing normal, I did Meph runs for a bit for gear. And if you are playing on Bnet, there are games you can join that say "Free". got to get in them quick. Usually the person giving things away just drops stuff on the ground and you have to be quick picking it up.

Ya I'm playing multiplayer. Thanks guys thats a good idea. Going through normal will be a good refresher for the game. Meph runs are a great Idea i almost forgot about those!
Funny story: just before we got laid off from work me and my co-workers (working with customer service at a major telecom operator in Sweden) thought "What games can we play that takes a while to finish, but not too long, and doesn't require fullscreen?". I thought of D2 instantly, since I had tried it at some point earlier last year, and it worked!
So we were about 10-ish people playing Single Player D2 at work with different chars having a blast, reliving good old memories. Yes, that's correct, you read Single Player. Whatever port D2 TCP/IP was using was blocked. But we had a great time anyway!
I managed to get 3 chars up close to lvl 60 before tiring a little, and eventually didn't have to go to work.
