Quote:I spent a little time today outlining the differences (frustrations) Diablo II players are likely to encounter when playing Diablo for the first time. You may be interested in it here:

Suggestions are welcome. I'm interested in the big unexpected caveats that players may find so that they don't get annoyed when the game does something they didn't expect.
Nice guide man.
At some parts I was laughing really hard. I personally dont love D2 so advices like:
"Your corpse does NOT come back to town"
"your arrows and spells can damage your teammates, though you are not hostile to one another!"
"When item durability reaches 0, the item is destroyed entirely."
are mading me laugh, really :-)
When I imagine surprised guy who just executed his friend by arrows and has no idea what happened ... :-)
Just two minor points:
Quote:Identifying items is not a free service. Deckard Cain charges 100 gold per item for identification. You may also purchase or find Identify scrolls to do the job yourself, but it is more expensive than having Cain do it.ID scroll costs exactly as much as Cain service.
Quote:Diablo came in the days before modern ethernet networks were highly popular, and sadly it does not allow TCP/IP play over LAN. You may attempt to get one of the other methods working, but most players will hop on Battle.net instead. Here are some of the differences.
You can play Diablo over LAN.
