Re: I'm going down again, and I'm prepared with lots of stuff...

The biggest thing needed nowadays is just people who want to jump in a game and have fun. There seem to be new server ops showing up regularly, and new levels also. What's missing is people just enjoying being in game. There must 30 servers up on the trackers, and most of the time the only players a...

Same here. I posted on the Server Ops and the Facebook D3 page to let Checkor know. I was still able to join the Ascent boz server by ip, just couldn't see if anyone else was in before I joined.

Re: My cruel, cruel subconscious...

I keep an old Win 7 desktop around just for playing D3.
Hop in the BOZ server a few times a week, and occasionally have a human or two join.
Nosferatu/Areon and I were blasting each other for a while last night.
Once in a while I go back through the single player levels.

I grew up in a chain smoking family and started smoking when I was 10, and was allowed to smoke openly at 13. Hard habit to break. I quit at 19, the day I moved out of my parents house. Moving into a tobacco free commune for 6 years helped I suspect. Mom died when she was diagnosed with lung cancer ...

It'll have to be planned. Jumping in a server and waiting for people to join doesn't work anymore.
