So,
Thanksgiving is nearing--the one time in a year in which humans
take pleasure in consuming a specific animal by ripping apart
its entrails only to replace them with a horde of garlicky
croutonic hybrids. Humans are silly.
Let's
move on now, nothing to see here...
Next Week's Topic Will Be:
What do you think about Blizzard's
decision to make available certain items on the Realms?
Also, what do you think about Blizzard's unannounced
project? Barbie's Revenge?
Now onto feedback from last week's
topic in which we asked you what's
the Battle.Net status now in comparison to when Diablo
II first came out? Some say factions have formed, while
yet others say it has pretty much stayed the same. What
do you think?

I would have to say that while
battle.net has grown into my favorite place to play
Diablo 2 now [vs. tcp/ip or lan games] it crashes a
whole lot. There are some days were I can play for several
hours with no problems, but for the most part I get
timeouts, or people in my party do and it makes the
game drag on. All in all though I do like battle.net,
I just wish they'd fix the conctant server crashing.
Its free for us though, so what can we do.
We
can listen to Tom Jones.

there bandwidth needs to double. they need either to
split the realms or add news ones.

Closed battlenet: Still sux.
Open battlenet: Playable, but sux because there are
to many damn cheaters.
Single Play: Cool, but lonely.
TCPIP Play: Great when I'm with friends.
There's my take on things. One thing I will note, in
open battlenet I've noticed an increased ability to
detect cheaters or atleast I'm able to decern them more.
It seams that when you have minions, and I especially
noticed this with the necromancer, that they attack
edited characters on my screen. Doesn't look like they
affect them but they actually gravitate towards them
and try to kill them even when I'm partied up with them.
Every time this has happened I asked the person if he/she
took elixers, or edited their characters and the answer
was always yes. I find this to be quite interesting
in my experiences. I'm running the 1.03 game. Hopefully
it will remain in 1.04. :P Love to be able to tell the
legits, from the no tallented wanna be players.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check that out.

It has been my experience that battle net has improved
to some degree, but as in a overall compassion, this
improvement is very little. As with time, now I experience
a different set of problems, when logging on to battlenet.
Recently the error message I get is failed to join game,
either when creating a game
