Diablo 2, still pulling in the numbers
Before the release of Diablo 3, I decided to dust off my old copy of Diablo 2. Seemed like a good way to get ready, plus it is one of my favorite games. After installing and patching, I played a few different characters, that quite promptly got deleted. (On Bnet any character that hasn’t been played for more then two hours gets deleted after ten days.)
Finally got wise and leveled a Necromancer past the cut off. This way I can boot it up to run through a level every now and then (my necromancer is level 11).
Last night while I was waiting for the husband to log in and play D2 with me, I looked in on the chat room. While there wasn’t anything interesting being said, it does give this very handy Bnet update.
I was shocked at how many people were playing Diablo 2. This game is OLD and it still has over 16,000 concurrent users. That just blows my mind.
Makes me wonder if there are other “old” games that a ton of people still play.

I think there are plenty of “old” games still getting a lot of action. A couple of us in the old chatroom still play the occasional classic like D2.

Let me know the next time you do, I would tag along. Unless you guys are all level 90 already. =P

I pretty regularly will break out my old Quest for Glory anthology and play a character all the way through. If feels wrong not to start from the beginning with a character.

Nice. That is really old school.
I wonder if I can get Quest for Glory on the iphone. Would be a perfect app probably. =D
