Useful Info:
Some background info: Each diablo game takes place on a certain server. This is not the same as USEast or West. When people sell enough SoJ on a server, a Diablo clone appears and when killed, drops an Annilihus charm. Your goal is to find these servers and join them. Unfortunately there is no way to choose which server to join, so the process is trial and error, and you will need luck. Without further adieu:
How To Hunt For the Diablo Clone:
1. Get some kind of IRC client. I use Pidgin because that's what I use for all my IM needs. mIRC is free as well.
2. Join the server irc.dcloneirc.net
3. Join channel #uswest-dclone or #useast-dclone (you will have to register your nick to talk)
4a. Hang out in that channel until you see a red font black background message from the bot about X number of SOJ being sold on yy.yyy.yy.xxx.4000
4b. Sometimes a member of the channel will say that xxx server will walk.
5. Once you see that message, take note of the server number (xxx).
6. Join a hell game in D2.
7. Open up command prompt in windows and type "netstat -n"
8. You will see a list of ips. Under the column "Foreign Address" look for the ip that ends in 4000. Then look at the number right before 4000. That is what server you are on.
9. If your server matches the server the SoJ are being sold on, congrats; just wait there until you get a "Diablo walks the earth message." If your server number is not the same, create another hell game, and hope for the right number. Be careful not to do this too quickly, as you will get temp banned. The irc channel will also announce when the server has walked, so then you know you are too late and can stop trying.
The Diablo Clone spawns from superuniques. The first superunique you encounter will be Uber Diablo. Easiest place to kill him: go to the arcane sanctuary wp, backtrack thru the blue portal. He will be there all by himself. This guy is tougher than any of the normal bosses, but is not tougher than ubers. He is easier than the guys you kill for organs for uber tristram.

With those colors?
Sure!
Red is so negative.
I declare east to be cyan!
Yes! Please!
It also gives us all an excuse for a blue dot post.
I play only on East!
*unclesporky
Primary character - Sporkymancer, level 85 summoning necromancer
EDIT: Yeah, blue is too blendy for these forums.
I play on West
*RaDreamer
Main character Radrea (level 88 or so Shockadin)
anyone on west want a +1 necromancer, amazon, or druid necklace? or sigon's boots? I'll trade for barb stuff, I badly need new gloves, boots, and a belt. i also have loads of gems (i'm keeping the topazes and skulls though )
*Raiden333
Prime chars are Weatherwax (75ish sorc) and J-Henry (soon to be equally levelled barb).
Green's too dark, West is now LIME!
Edit: Also, 80% of the time I'm on I'm more than willing to rush anyone who needs it. I've given something like 10 rushes in the past week, it's not a problem at all as long as I don't do too many in one day.
4th! D2 Battle Chest was 4th 8 years after release. That's fucking nuts.
Should i take and count all the names from the PA players list and post them?
i'm not sure how to make colors on here yet.
Anyway:
USWest
*Kingshand
Labyrinthos - 70 Necro (skelemancer)
Galedrid - 39 Paladin (Holy Shockadin)
Mayene - 20 Sorc (CL/Orb eventually)
Gimthrak - 9 Barb (WW eventually)
I haven't played much in the last couple weeks though.
Origin: Galedrid - Nintendo: Galedrid/3222-6858-1045

USEast:
*EvilBadman or *Evilbotman (haven't set the bot up yet)
Badman has a 80ish Fishy
Botman has a 84 Kinda MF Light Sorc and a 45 Smite/Zeal Tank.
It beat WoW !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*moproblemz
Main: Ackbarley trapsin 77
Don't get too excited. WoW was split up between the game, the expansion and the battle chest. I guarantee you that combined, WoW beat the shit out of Nancy Drew. Might have raped her too. Just might have.
Oh yeah, I'm East[size] with b.net name same as forum name.

Holla?
Quote the person using the color you want to use and you can see the BBcode right there. Alternatively, click the little button with an A and a down arrow between "sizes" and the happy face button.
Heck, the announcement of D3 even pushed Titan Quest back into Steam's top 10.
Alternatively quote one of us and look at it before you post it.
thanks!

Coincidentally, is anyone interested in trading norm rushes?
*haakenson1
Just use that to contact me. Characters are in flux...
*fightinfilipino
main at the moment is MakotoKino - lvl 72 Bowazon in desperate need of resistances and/or M'avina's helm :P
my second main is a summonmancer, EvilDeadArmy - lvl 33, looking to complete that nice Trang-Oul's look for the dead summer (HA!).
both are ladder characters. the others are glorified mules at the moment.
definitely /f add me, i'm always up for rushing/coop games and such.

Erm, my main will be a paladin once I find a Gimmershred.
And is there an easy way to get some elemental absorb, especially lightning? Also damage reduction and damage reduced by stuff...I need this because physical damage seems to rock me the most by far, even with max block.
(The lightning absorb is only for gloams which tear me up with only 80% lightning resist. Ridiculous)
Gloams also deal physical damage
And I must mention to you guys that hardcore is the only way to go, the more people we can get, the better. We can even organize plays on vent, it could be AWESOME!
I need some damage reduction right quick. I managed to solo hell, but holy shit were some battles epic. My ancients war, in particular, was long and grueling.
EDIT:
Has anyone ever used the drop calculator in ATMA V? Is the 1.11 drop list accurate? Or is there an updated version somewhere?

It should still be accurate, and I use it.

75 Fishymancer, hopefully more useful in Hell.
48 Furysin, ditto.
