Quote:I didn't know if the Armory or the uh, other strategy forum were appropriate places for these questions, so I thought I'd just ask them here.
I have sometimes had my notebook and my LOD disk and not had net access, so I've started a couple SP characters.
First question -- In Classic D, you could pick, say, LAN Multiplayer character and you'd have a character that could possibly someday interact with the outer world. I didn't find a way to do that with D2.
So the characters I've created (only 2) so far are "Single Player" characters.
Second question -- Is there any way for items found by a Single Player to be given to other characters?? I'm a big packrat when it comes to items and my characters typically share items by default... so frequently I'll find an item that, for example, "would be great for a one-eyed reverse necromancer" but was found by a barefisted barbarian. (1st class is fictional, 2nd is not) I hate to toss this stuff, but AFAIK I can't xfer them, so they'll have to go, right??

I was in a similar situation for a while. I found PlugY to do the trick (you can find it or ATMA at the Phrozen Keep).
PlugY adds a 'shared' stash that any character can access in game. But be aware, by default PlugY adds other features like ladder-only rune words and allows you to redistribute skill/attribute points. The latest version allows you to disable these 'extra' features if they are not to your liking. PlugY remains separate as well, creating a separate executable Diablo.exe. This allows you to run D2 without uninstalling or losing/deleting your PlugY stash. All in all, the seamless integration and the shared stash make it worth you time to check out.
Cheers,
