Diablo
I've been playing a fair amount of Diablo lately. At first I was back into Diablo 2, LOD. Most of my Battle.net characters had expired, so I worked up a bunch of new ones. Along the way I discovered something annoying: Battle.net had changed. I could no longer take a high-level character and drop a bunch of gold in a game for a starting character.
They seem to have put in restrictions that make it impossible for characters to enter a game that has been created or visited by a character that's more than four or five levels higher or lower. So if you want to exchange stuff between your characters, you have to make sure that they stay within four levels of each other.
I played so much that I got what I call "Diablo finger". But I also got bored. So just for the hell of it, one day, I popped in my old Diablo 1 disk. It still worked...and I have to say that it's a better game than D2. It doesn't have as many features, but it's sharper, clearer, and more exciting.
