Hey.
I guess pretty much nobody but maybe Mr. Mag or Valkemen can remember my name but whatever - here it goes.
I started playing D2@CBN right at the release together with a few friends in a clan we decided to name Gildia IL-Vec. Back at that time we didn't have access to a non modem connections at home so we had to play from internet cafe. Considering quality of polish internet at that time it was possible to play only from midnight to about 4 or 5 AM (more or less of course). Fortunately, the paid gates like Hellgate and one more the name of which I can't remember at the moment were created so it became much easier to play@CBN. One of your guild members - Hrungr/*hess (I think that was his account name) was lucky enough to work where he had too much free time plus a normal, stable connection which resulted in the first (I think, again
) polish player reaching 99@CBN.
Anyway, our main prioryty as a guild has always been PvP so we tried to participate in most of our polish tournaments - with random luck and success I guess.
As the time has passed I came up to a dude named Noz - it was around the time when PostReality was being created. I really liked their rules and attitude when at the same time and I really didn't like the polish scene where Marian's FC were starting to reign (nothing personal - I've always like them
). Also, I was against dupe'ing so it was kinda annoying to PvP because the gear difference has started to become noticable.
Anyway, after a while I started playing MMORPGs (namely EverQuest) and it was pretty much the end of my D2 time. I was so amazed to play a game that is being constantly patched/fixed, the devs were actually listening (at least it looked like this at that time) to the community and no one was running in duped stuff.
It was a really nice change from D2 which has became a hackfest. :/
It's really cool to see some old clans still around - I think I remember AMZ, GoTH, GoD, HW, NOT, SoD and WM from the time I used to play D2.
Back to SC2 I guess.
