D1 has better environments(sp?). & D2 has more classes. I can never play either for long cuz the graphics are too outdated. i think highest lvl i got on D2 was close to 40. but i always lose my characters because i stop playing for a long time. it's a fun game over-all, rly fast-paced. great for taking breaks from grinders.

Um..diablo 2 is not really grindy online. I got to level 80 in a like a day..from level 1. You just need to know what to do at certain levels that's all lol.

Why not try titan quest, practically the same gameplay but better graphics

no one plays online though except for the expansion pack

It's not grindy as in it takes long to level up but it is very repetitive in that you do the same baal/cow/tristram games over and over again through three difficulties. Then you get some topaz'd gear and grind on the same boss over and over again for half decent loot.

I will say though that the first trip through the game when you're reading the npc dialogue is quite AWESOME. The story and everything coming together, the scenarios, it's all super gravy.

these days on Diablo 2, if it takes you more than a week to reach lvl 90...then people consider you as a noob. Mainly because there are so many rushing services being given everyday, whether its free or requiring fees via the gcoin thingy (i think thats what its called...the forum currency you can use to buy stuff...)

If you ask the right people and meet up with the right group, then "grushes" and whatnot will get you a lvl 90 character in no time, and with the right connections, great gear.

My characters before I quit:

LvL 93 Strafezon (with Fortitude and Faith combo)
LvL 90 Lite Sorc
LvL 86 Magic Find Barb

i've gotta disagree with werewolf the game is a "korean grinder"
hoesntly in which game you dont do the same thing over and over again especially in low levels?

the point is, in Diablo i found it fun to do so i really enjoyed the gameplay
grind only exists when you find it no fun doing the same thing for exp, otherwise you wouldn't notice hence recognize it as grinding

for what is so good about Diablo...
1. fun to play classes, skill combinations
2. best item system ever
3. great storyline and graphics
etc

one of the best games ever indeed but i doubt its the best time to buy it since Diablo 3 has already been announced lol
yes its cheap now i know but also imo the golden days of D2 is gone

The Baldur's Gate series is my fave rpg series of all time. Wish I could play online or something with it. I never have either because I don't know how to play online or nobody is playing online, heh. Half elf fighter/mage/thief FTW. (Chaotic Good all the way btw)

EDIT: You can play baldur's gate online. (Aimed at whocarezzz)
