So stupid to lose a friend (even if not IRL) for a couple of runes…
During my best D2 epoch, I had a friend (from Sweden as far as I remember) with whom many HRs could be muled. It was very useful for both of us and it has more worth than the HRs themselves.
However, 1 day he said “ty bb” then left and toke his time before to come back… Not sure if it was a joke or a real scam hesitation, but I had a few minutes with my heart hard beating !
My worst D2 moments were and remain the Troll Griefers it’s bad enuff in SC in HC it really Which is why I ask for either Arena PVP or two party consent PVP only, And it isn’t only the Griefers it’s that one guy who gets upset about something and goes hostile and won’t go away making it where a new game has to be made, And occasionally some of these Trolls will track you from game to game
i am going to go down a much darker route for this one…
my dog had died in my arms of old age( 14 years old) while i was dog sitting with my parents on vacation in Italy, it absolutely crushed me. and i was extremely depressed.
then while paying path of diablo in some random public game some player dropped me 11 HR’s ( read as like 2 jah and 3 bers, jah being 2.5 HR at the time and ber being 2)
this shocked me out of depression.
i was able to fully gear up 3 endgame characters that season with that.
RIP my beloved Coconut (Bichon Frise)

Random acts of kindness can mean more than you could possibly know.
Best: Back when I used to play the most, the 1.09 days, was asked by someone in Act 2 Nightmare for a rush to Baal. I was on a Zealer, which on that account, was my best character at the time (I was playing a new account). Told him I didn’t mind, but I’m slow, as I never memorized pathing routes. During the rush, got an SOJ from a mob in Durance 2. It was the second I ever had out of the 4 during my entire D2 career up till now (first was given by a high school classmate during 1.08 days).
Worst: Quit playing after first ladder in 1.10, and came back for the patch that nerfed Iron Maiden. Decided to duo ubers with my father. Both of us in our 90s, myself with Azurewrath, Hoz, Vamp, etc filled with damage and life charms, him full trang oul summoner with inventory of skillers. Spent a week collecting the stuff, and finally went in to do ubers…wiped out in less than 60 seconds (now, first time, no meta knowledge of how fight worked). Flagged down in chat someone to help us get first torch, a 90+ hammerdin came to help, we still got whacked. He asked a Barb friend to come help. After a couple of tries, we beat it through combination of salvation, curses, hammers, and frenzy. Barb without a word, left game…with torch. All of us were speechless. Turned me off from the game and didn’t pick back up until 2018…which ended up building a smiter low budget to get my first torch…a druid torch, meh.
Best: One night I joined a random game and some guy literally dropped his entire stash in front of me without saying a word. Grabbed most of it except for one item that some guy took because my inventory was full. I got all kinds of rare items from it and I was a kid so I was freaking out big time lol
Worst: Other than mules I can’t really recall ever having a bad time playing D2.
I’ve done the same thing before, when characters switch from ladder to non-ladder. I’ll join a random non-ladder game, dump all of my gear, leave and nuke the toons. Lately I’ve been just nuking them though.
Trusting a guy I had been playing with for several weeks and showing him my Annihilus back when it was super rare and new. Of course that guy left the game and ignored me forever afterward.
I think finding a ber rune from a chest in act3
Finding a 40life light gc
Duelling with my mates (long time ago)
Running around with the full Ik set
making high level expensive rune words
Worst
Hardcore death at 97.5 on sorc (my own fault)
Baited red cow portal death on baba
First death to the horrible poison on the way to nilithak lol
I could go on lots of memories of this game even though it was years ago
