Ok so I decided to post here anyway mostly because the other forums don't have a place to rant and because not so many (non?) play D2 here atm.
If you don't play D2 or don't care then don't read. I just need to post this somewhere before I go mad
Anyway as I've said in a different post the ladder is reseting. I was just getting some good stuff (end game stuff worth hrs (hrs=high runes)). I had been working on a lvling service with 2 others for the last 3 weeks, and before that 3 others. It started out with me wanting to do a lvling service after being inspired by someone on a forum I read and post on almost daily. So we got together and started up. Soon we had 2 other people joining us for a few weeks before leaving again, and then another person joined us for 3 or 4 weeks ago up until now. In that time I'm sure I earned 30 hrs at least, and hrs for me wasn't easy to come by.
Now just last week I spent 13 hrs on an assassin to use for duels and just a few days later I get read the news on battle.net... There is a ladder reset coming up next week. Usually I wouldn't mind at all since I like starting over fresh, but this ladder season didn't even last a year whereas the last one lasted for almost 2 years if not more. And ofc because of this my chars will be moved from ladder to non ladder. Well it's not that they are moved that's the bad part, it's the fact that the items I bought is more or less worthless on non ladder since it's never reset and there is never run a ruststorm there (ruststorm removed duped item). So now my about 15 hrs worth of eq on the char is moved to a place filled with dupes, botters, hackers and buged items that run rampant around the realm without being kept in control by Blizzard, and it will be flooded with all the dupes from this ladder as well. And if that wasn't enough hrs as far as I know isn't the main currency on nl, but some specific perfect charms (that are duped) and buged items. It's ridiculus and the though of all that work just being moved without being able to enjoy it sucks. I knew it would happen eventually, but not so early.
The last 2 months I think have mainly been spent gathering hrs by lvling others chars, and on the most busiest times I've played 3-5 hours a day to complete all jobs. And now it's all being moved to non ladder. I guess the only comfort is I could sell most of the stuff on d2jsp for forum gold and then buy some equipment on ladder again when the economy stabilizes. But then again jsp is filled with hackers and dupers and all the low life of the D2 realms, and I really don't wish to go there.
So now I'm torn between taking a break playing other games (Sacred, FF games and some x360 games I never got around to finish) or start over again on ladder. Maybe start on hardcore? I don't know, but I got until next week to figure that out, and now that I finally got this out here I can go back to figuring out what I want again
