Twinking, HC, SC...my thoughts

To me thats a big part of the game.

What I really enjoy in D2 is building characters and seeing how effective they are. I often used to get all my high lvl gear together before I would even start lvling. The way I look at it is my characyers are like a unit/family/company/band and I play the game with them rather than I play it with one character(of course some people let this an spend so much time moving gear that they dont play much).

Some people play for different reasons and thats cool.

This sums up pretty well how I play too :)

I find it too frustrating to just allow individual characters use the items they find, so I have around 4 active characters right now who share stuff among them. Last time it happened, it was my Maulazon (lol) who found a fire skill charm for my Sorceress. Yay! Thank god there are Maulazon's. heh

I might add that I *do* have around two mules right now, but I usually don't create mules to be mules -- it's usually retired characters I use to store items in their spare space. So my "mules" are often level 50-60... I mostly use those for the occasional "godly" item I happen to stumble upon, but if I wish to make another character build for that one. Why I don't carry those items on my actual character? Well, I have this rune/crafting ingredient obsession so I collect far too many runes/jewels/etc... I'm always thinking "one day I might need them" but I'm pretty sure that day will never come. hehe
