The only thing I blame WoW for is that when it got out, Diablo 'community' became leftover kids who didn't want to switch to WoW because of the fees (mostly).
Well actually many of my oldschool friends from before LOD times quit playing already before WoW because the game got too easy and challenges ran out and more and more cheats arrived. And for many that didn't quit before that, who hoped for better times in D2 maybe in some patch just got the final blow to leave the broken game behind and move on.
But I agree, the community sucks.. but sometimes at least in hardcore you find really nice guys but problem there is tppk that made everyone sceptic to party.
I've had breaks.. I still have some old characters left.. but now the oldest only from 1.09 all pre-lod ones got expired.
When the game was released I played straight up to 1.09 or something.. then I was 1 year at army and went on a break. Kept logging on my chars every now and then from my brothers computer. Then I came back and played a while but then I got bored of it and especially LOD.. there has been many times I've quit LOD but still played classic. In 2004 came Wow which really ended my D2 but I still logged to keep my chars up.. when 1.10 came I went and made a few classic hc characters for the new ladder but after that I've only played now in season 5 if we don't count 1 80 character in some season.
