The D1 Meet'n'Greet

[Slayer_X64]

Greetings to everyone, I've been on and off of the Diablo1 community since around 1999, changing twice my username and recently settling with this one. Due to personal issues, I left the scene last year and now, a month ago, while finding my Diablo CD, I decided to visit the old community sites... to my dismay I found several websites deleted, the Lounge's frontpage non-existant and a direct link to the forums. After I little search I found the explanation; still, it saddens me a little to see how every passing year, the Diablo sites end up disappearing, one by one.

Anyway, today I entered various channels in the US West, East, and Europe Gateways, and found almost no people to play with, mostly bots (Even in Diablo LE). Is there any other channel that's relatively populated that I might have forgotten, or maybe a particular hour/day in which people tend to play?

That is actually a good idea. What we could do is either try channeling more people into channels like Diablo LE(if theres still enough players we can set up channels for US east, west, Europe and Asia...) or perhaps we could try setting up a channel of our own? and perhaps seeing as battlenet may shut down soon(not entirely sure on this) we could eventually try to set up a permanent hamachi network for diablo, or whatever...better if its free but you get what you can, right? Im not exactly computer wise though and have no clue how to do this. But its an idea none the less.

Also if anyone knows a place to get hellfire fixed it would be appreciated if someone posted it. I would make it my personal duty to keep it alive if i had it. (by keep it alive i mean make it permanently available)

Edit: Note to everyone not to talk on skype while playing diablo online because it seems to cause extreme lag or extreme speed(or maybe its just me? lol). Side effects include death. lol.
