Quote:So yea, diabloii.net is a great site, but there are a lot of immature folks out there, and sometimes one feels like babysitting. As a result, some guests are uneasy and tension errupts causing general discomfort for all.
The Lounge is a great site. DiabloII.Net is just a full site. Full of what, I'll hold my tongue about. ;)
And I was mostly commenting on the quality of their guides. About the ONLY thing DII.Net is good for is obscure, inside information. And, more often than not, that information changes by the time it becomes relevant, so it's an uphill battle for them, and hardly worth reading.
The glory days of DII.Net were back before even the Closed Beta. By the time D2 was released, they had lived out their usefulness. The only thing left to talk about, really, is strategy and game mechanics. Between the Lounge and the Arreat Summit (formerly the Chaos Sanctuary), I have everything I need. As does just about anyone else.
*shrugs* Just my two cents on the issue. Disagree all you like; I'd expect an old-timer to their to defend them. Won't change my mind one lick about the "quality" you can find their. I don't doubt there's a few hidden gems. I'd be very surprised if there weren't. However, those few gems aren't worth digging through mountains of manure (that make you sterile and senile, to boot) when I've been residing in a veritable gold mine since before the D2 Closed Beta. ;) See my point?
