DIABLO II GRAVEYARD




           Before I go into describing Diablo and all of it's glories, I must list my assignments for the Infotech class considering that the real reason for this site is school work.  Yes, it does come before games...

           Diablo II expansion is my favourite online game right now.  I have 4 hardcore characters right now.  Hardcore is the version of the game whereas if you die once, your hard spent hours all go to dust.  You are deleted from the game and are only left with a memory of your character.  This adds an exciting edge to the game.



Below is a list of the characters my friends and I have sadly lost.
           When a hardcore character dies it is usually from your own stupidity.  It can also be from lag, or from a very strong monster who can get you in one hit (Baal, Mephisto).  However, when another player kills you or pk's you, it really sucks and a lot of swearing, cursing and hitting the computer usually results.  This is how my characters have died:

Lvl 40 Amazon
She was named GetMeSumChicken.  It was a happy day, and she had just finished killing Radament in the sewers.  A lvl 55 Sorceress then joined the game and got the Hordraric staff for her.  The Sorc claimed that she couldn't pick it up so she gave me a town portal to go through.  Meanwhile we allied and put on loot corpse for each other.  BIG MISTAKE!  So anyways, I took her town portal and wandered over to the staff lying suspiciously on the ground.  All of a sudden hydras was casted by the Sorc.  I then knew what was goig on and tried franticly to quit.  The Sorceress casted a town portal, went to town and hostiled me.  The hydras killed me in one hit.  I had been PK'ed.  I was pissed and quit after some choice words.  That was the end for GetMeSumChicken.


Lvl 7 Amazon
This Amazon was created right after GetMeSumChicken died.  I was in a careless mood because I had just lost my best character.  I was rushed to Baal in about 30 min.  At lvl 7, you can't be hostiled and I forgot that.  This made me so that I was paranoid around Sorceresses and the creatures.  To make a long story short, I got too close to baal while the others were attcking him and was killed in one hit by him.  The best item I lost was a unique executioner sword.  After these too losses I stopped playing Diablo for a while.


Lvl 38 Paladin
This was my friends character.  He was lost in a duel with another Paladin.  My friend went out to duel using the attack Fist of the Heavens.   He attacked with power but the enemy had a hireling.  The attack missed the other Paladin and killed the hireling.  This gave the edge to the enemy and so he took it.  The enemy Paly came over and killed my friend.  A careless battle...


Level 20 Necromancer
Also my friend's character.  He died, but my friend doesn't even remember how he died.  I guess he wasn't too important.


Lvl 45 Sorceress
This was another friend's character.  He was pk'ed in the same way my lvl 40 Amazon was.  The hydra and town portal tactic destroyed all the hours put into this Sorceress.  I'm sure he was mad and followed the procedure of hitting, swearing etc.


Lvl 53 Sorceress
My friend's again.  This poor Sorc had a good live ahead of her.  She got to nightmare act 5 in a quick 2 days.  Diablo was about to die.  Another seal had been opened and a group of mages emerged.  The sorc tried to teleport away but the mages had a power even the great sorc couldn't handle.  The mages had lag...  The sorceress was killed by the mages because of lag.  Diablo is safe for now, but for how long...
