I'm in! I just downloaded the game last night and went through the first area. I'm hooked. D2 is so over for me now. WoW already is everything I wanted D2 to be -- a place to rollplay, explore vast areas, adventure with others of like mind, and not worry about being killed by idiot PK's.
Guess what my first character is. Yep, Grizabella, a female human mage who will concentrate on Enchanting whenever she finds an appropriate trainer. I'll try to join the Lounging Lurker's guild as soon as I get on-line.
I have to warn you, though, my personality is heavily weighted toward the Bartle "Explorer" personaity, as I just found out in a cool article linked from a "Behind the Veil" article on Diabloii.net. That is, I like to explore *everything* about the game, look in every nook and cranny, and try out stuff. I'm the type of person who reads every sign in a museum. I imagine that Lurkers tend toward the Explorer type personality, but I just wanted to warn you that I just downloaded the game last night and Grizabella is just level 6 right now. If you've been playing for a week or more and know a bunch about the game, I'll probably drive you nuts with how slow I go, so be careful about asking me to join a party. :rolleyes:
