1. Valor for me.. I love horned demons - except for my LoL chars.. And arkaines valor rocks for low level chars :) (btw, why no hellfire only quests?) -drac
2. I like the poisoned water guest(I *love* cave texture) and The Chamber of the bone(that room packed with skeletons is fantastic) but Leo's room beats them both: killing skeles while Leo tries to resurrect them is fun, and its also a great feeling to knock down the 4 crucified bodies afterwards ;) - Cytrex
3. I can see what you see not, the intro story is really hot. When you read it you will wonder, whether you should learn it to remember. Out of sight, Out of mind, cast down into the halls of the blind. -- Torniojaws
4. There's nothing like getting a pile of magical items *and* a book of guardian. Chamber of Bone for me. ~Fritz
5. "What? Why are you here? All these interruptions are enough to make one insane Nwuhahahaaa..." You just gotta love Zhar the mad! - Harm

1. hehe oops - missed the 2nd part :P I love farmers orchard.. all you have to do is drop a rune bomb and voila! all done :)
2. I hope this poll was meant to be so that you have to select one form each lists *shrug*. Anyway although I never played hellfire it was still hard to choose from here Warlord of Blood and Lachdanan are great resources for items after all ;) Still, I chose the Black Mushroom for its complexness(sp?) and also because IMO the demon's brain is the most nice looking(and sounding ;)) quest item in the game.
3. Well, as a sort-of mycologist (by training, at least), I admit I'm prejudiced. But you've gotta love that BIG Black Mushroom, and it's cool "Boow" sound it makes when you drop it. Plus, it's the most complex quest, and has a very nice (guaranteed good, not possibly crappy) reward. Dako-ta
4. Warlord of Blood; so many magical items! -b_kel
5. Chose Chamber of the Bones and Warlord of Blood for the random magical items because I am greedy. =P But I love the speeches for the BIG mushroom, Ogden Sign, The Nut, the modified Nakrul, sp Leoric when you enter his chamber, the quest log for Halls of the Blind; the sounds the Demon Brain, Blood Stone, Anvil of Fury make. - SoulEdge -
6. Black Mushroom. It yields the coolest reward in the game :-D - Jim

1. Any Hidden class monsters, with possibly the coolest death animation and sound of the entire game - NiteFox
2. Black Knights and their cousins are pretty cool looking. -- Ben
3. Got to love them Blood Knights, Great drops. -Grin
4. Illusion Weavers and Warpskull(Hidden boss)
5. Gharbad the Weak - Tibbs
6. Wirt He is a monster! He sells bad items for no good reason, I have reason to believe he works for Murphy! Additionally, he steals 50 gold pieces and is invincible! -Oncal
7. Fallen Ones. These wimps never cease to amuse me, and have the best death animations. :) -Prophet
8. Hiddens - I love the sound they make when you hit them - LennyLen
9. My favorite monster is the Blood Knight; great experience, and, for a character with good blocking, can be very easy to kill in melee :) Charles Warren, aka the Muscle Mage
10. Blood Knights - They look fantastic with their armor.
11. Illusion Weavers are quite cool, though I do sometimes wonder how something so bright yellow can actually escape an adventurer's notice until it's right up next to him/her... --Ex
12. As a warrior, the packed titanic battles between black knights is soooo satisfying when their souls fly away with a deep grunt...ah, yes...
13. Someone stole this from one of my posts in the DSF .. HMMM I WONDER WHO :) - Black Knights are the coolest - Drac
14. Fallen ones, gotta love that Snotspil. -b_kel
15. Aren't Illusion Weavers Hidden class monsters? :D
16. Blood knights. They look awesome, they make awesome sounds, they are awesomely strong, they can drop awesome stuff, and well, that makes them kinda awesome... - Harm (Did I mention they are awesome already? ;-)
17. Blood Knights on Hell difficulty. They are big, mean, ugly mommas that have the abilty to drop some amazing stuff. I can't pass them up. -DeeBye
18. I like Fallen Ones because they're fun target practice for characters with new weapons/spells. ~Pirengle
19. Fallen Ones, I love it when you're surrounded by them and you kill one and then clock another in the back of the head as it runs away, sending it flying. And of course, Bongo is the greatest unique monster ever. -Ben_Briggs
20. Blood Knights for me, nice graphic, especially when they die, chosed Blood instead of Black because they are more fearsome and can drop better items. Like the Hidden class for the dead sound though, and Gharbad for the funny dialogue. Wirt is just good for shopping, Fallen Ones are simply annoyance. - SoulEdge -

1. I went from 1 to 20 in a couple of hours, untwinked. I needed a "shield shopper" :P -DeeBye
2. Not that I really remember, but that's my best guess. I never really play the mega-hours games. -Olivierdot
3. My vote is 11 to 12. Bout 2 hours iirc with a new character.
4. The aforementioned "4 hour full game clear" took me from 1 to 25. :) - Prophet
5. I took a Rogue from 1 to 17 in one go on a Saturday long ago... But then a few days later, she was caught in a hellish stairtrap in NM/Caves and subsequently deleted. --Ex
6. Near 7 or 8 it usually gets too hard to continue, i dont want *that* much challenge. - Cytrex
7. takes a clear of the church to get to around level 10 with a baby.. that's all i can do at once without mmy wrist telling me to stop. -- ben
8. Definately remember a long session that brought me to 21.. --Zedd
9. I raised one of my mules from level 1 to 10 at one sitting. It was a warrior. Didn't have the patience for more left-clicking. ~~Pirengle
10. 32 levels! Mind you it was in SP Hellfire with a mage. Got to love having no exp. cap. Started and cleared NM/Church, and then bounced around in Hell difficulty for a grand total of 8 dlvls combined. -- Eli(stuck in "only bought D1" purgatory, and loving it)

1. Might be a little off, give or take a level, but I started one game from scratch and woke up a few hours later in the caves ^_^ - NF "Kitsune Densetsu"
2. 11 levels for me! Got skewered in the caves and ended that run. Took about 3 hours, though. ~~Pirengle
3. Well, one night I got caught bragging on how I could beat the entirety of Diablo in only 6 hours... which led to me strapped to a chair, being ridiculed by my friends, while attempting to beat the game. The entire journey, from 1 to 16, took little more than *4* hours, and after my victory, I proceded to attempt to make my friends grovel before me as their supreme master... which didn't work out too well... Prophet
4. Can't really remember to be honest, think I went from level 1 to somewhere in Cave in SP a looong time ago, so I opt for 10 levels. -SoulEdge
5. Amazon Stealth Hunt. And someday I'll do it again in NM and Hell. :) -AnorX
6. It took me a couple of days to clear the entire dungeon though, kept leaving my char in town while I went off to do other stuff (hope the poor guy didn't get too bored!) -LennyLen
7. Full clears are fun =P -Zedd
8. One day, Oncal and I did a full Hell diff clear. What a hoot! -Grin
9. I usually do 4 at a time, then on to the next section... except for the church, the moment I hit clvl 8, it's off to the cats - Ben
10. The infamous 28 1/2 hour Ironman-Solo game. Never had so much fun!- Triple-Lamo³
11. Yep, was adventuring with Grin one day for a full game clear :) Who ever said that two level 40+ mages are overpowered? ;) Man, in times like this I discover that I really have too much time on my hands. - Oncal
12. I took my Mage from dlvl1 to dlvl13 about 2 months ago
13. Gotta love IronMan game...or just a nice treasure hunting from 1 to 16 with friends, ~dethstiny
14. I think most have done a full clear of the game - CytreX
15. 16, but not different levels. (Lots of Laz runs ;-) Harm.

1. Definately over 9 hours. Infact.. its been 11 so far today (Just alt tabbed out) :) -Drac0nis
2. about 10 hours straight from 21:00 to 06:00, IIRC, the night I first got Diablo, Christmas break 1997.
3. One of my first experiences with the game came with a 24-hour "Diablo Day" LAN party.
4. And if I didn't have to work it would be longer –Grin
5. I'm not sure what I answered, but it's gotta be at least 7...
6. Get up, get diablo running, enter game. Next moring round 9 to 10am go to sleep :). CytreX
7. Just like last time; Played it for 12 hours staright the day I got it. (This is about the time I said, "Yikes it's 2 A.M! I've gotta sleep!") T-L³
8. Hell, I've spend more than 9 hours just shopping for the stupid massive LWB/swiftness—Zedd
9. Played for 7-8 hours on a couple different Saturday's while power-gaming CanyonD to higher clvls. - Big D.
10. Tournament Ironman game -- 16 hours. Ouch! – Esau
11. Yes, I am addicted. – PhantomLord
12. 9+ hours! Remember when playing ironman... if you see the sun rise twice, go to bed!
13. Ironman games are fun. But I remember playing my rogue when I first started. Wake up at 8 a.m., realize that its now 8 pm and that I missed lunch and dinner but it was well worth it curtner :)
14. 3 hours is when I know it's time to quit, but I usually never play more than 2. – Ben
15. Usually I start a game saying 'let's just do a quick Laz run or Cats shrine hunt' and then I end up doing a full clear from Cats to Hell, and if nothing drops I restart and do it all over again, and if something DOES drop then I restart and play test my new equip. Record was from 6AM to 4AM. -Brother Laz
16. From 7AM to 4 AM. I got the TC, Naz, and a ring of Wiz in one gaming session.
17. After 3 hours, my eyes start to not wanna stay open and I know I have to take a good break, maybe get some food -Espy Lacopa

1. I voted the Illusion Weaver, but any member of the Hidden class is enough to make you scream. - Ben
2. Ranged. Any melee is dead with Windfore and my Rogue, my Mage is arty and can take on screen fulls of mele monsters and spells will still hit any Hiddens (same with arrows), and my warrior is strong enough and has a good enough AC to easily take out mobs. Ranged attackers are the only ones that can actually hurt a bit. Make a second part with what combo you would hate most and include Advo/Maws. That would be cool. -- Mean Jean929
3. I voted the hidden because a pack of them were waiting outside King Leoric with a unique leader, they almost killed me after King Leoric
4. Night Clan at early character levels - Big D.
5. Those guys always fry my lvl 9 Sorcerer and usually blast him to pieces. Also when doing hell/cats runs, you cant CL them -- Dark
6. Those Night Clans are too fast, and always seem to catch up to me before I can get them... -El_Gecko
7. im a warrior so i have to chase these guy around like duck duck goose same with the illusion weavers but they just run after you hit them and i can kill them in one hit
8. Gosh dang Illusion weavers can still give my lvl 39 (very soon to be 40 :) ) mage trouble in hell difficulty. I don't know how many times my guy's died to a swarm of those guys. They are pure evil! - Oncal
9. Illusion weaver= Pain in the ass. Nuff' Said. Mr.Lamo³

1. Goat archers are too stupid, they always follow you whenever you get out of their vision, making them easy to catch, Overlords are fat and slow and lack the to hit % they would need to make up for it. Low level gargoyles aren't so bad, but Blood Claws and Death Wings can really give you hell the first time you encounter them. KoH
2. Same reason as before...the Night Clan Archers are quite powerful for the level, and fast, and always come in swarms. -El_Gecko
3. Flayed ones are just a pain to kill! They last so long that the others can beat you up. Its just a pain having a couple of nearly invincible big guys running around trying to kill you. - Oncal
4. The monsters here didn't give me that much trouble, and if I have to pick one.... mud men, cause one time I suddenly got surrounded by these fellas in a level where I actualy should not be (my clev was too low) I survived, but it was a close call. - Harm
5. Any of the archers really, especially when I'm playing my warrior.......Chase corner kill...chase corner kill....Ahhhhhhhhh
6. Archers. They can hit you before you even see them. Nuff said, hehe. Like my black eye ?-( --Mean Jean929
7. Those fire clan archers gave my Sorcerer a lot of trouble in the caves..... The fire resistance was a killer. --Gann

1. I guess the whole concept of a guy who can hit you fast and can strike you down with lightning far away is enough to get my vote. - Oncal
2. Tough, but I'll have to go with Lightning Demons of all shapes and sizes. Their melee attack is so good! KoH
3. I agree with the last two comments, as they both have also been for Maelstrom. :)
4. Maelstorm. Their melee attack is so incredibly fast! If several come towards you, you will have a very hard time killing them. - Harm
5. The Storm Riders gave me the most trouble. Mainly from a lack of good equipment in the Caves when I was playing LAW BAR --krog(BAR)

1. I voted Azure Drake. They have a pretty nasty Tohit% AND fast attack. Lethal combination. -DeeBye
2. I voted for Balrog, because they are pretty nasty when with their boss... -El_Gecko
3. If I'd answered this an hour ago, it might have been different, just know as I was running through NM/Hell w/ my arty, Azure Drakes actually managed to kill me. Add high damage to fast attack to good to hit % and annoying resistances, and you've got yourself an annoyance. KoH
4. I hate those 'roggies! So very very dangerous in a stair trap, very dangerious! ~Sir_Nick~
5. I voted for Azure drakes. Of course it all depends on what class I am playing with. My warrior actually loves those vipers. But since my rogue and sorceror hate them, I voted for these creatures. They attack fast, and my Windforce bow (with knockback) does not really have the effect I want with knockback (you hit them, they are knocked back, but immediately attack again. Knights you can hit back, and they stay there, these vipers come back immediately.) - Harm
6. Snakes,Drakes of any kind, their movement an attack make them a pain. Firedrake gets my vote.-Grin
7. Gold Viper. Let's see. Fast melee attack, immune to chain lightning...yep, they get my vote. -Falomin
8. Balrogs are quite lethal to just about any character of any level, and they swarm you quite fast. And they're not that easy to kill as a bonus. -Leshy
9. Hell Spawn... second only to Soulies! - Spear
10. Soulies. Tri immune = bad for mage. They run and hurt you from far away and usually travel in packs = bad for warrior. Just being in packs is an annoyance for rogues. Everything else is pretty easy for me to pick off with any character. Am I just that good? --- Mean Jean929(Mean ALE)
11. Oops, thought Spawn was Soulie.... oh well, I believe nearly everything on the list is hard enough. --Oncal

1. Soulies may also be triple immune in hell, but I voted for Advocates because they're always there. -El_Gecko
2. Advos HURT! They are triple-immune fireball lobbers! They are nasty, pure and simple. No class has an easy time with them. -DeeBye
3. I voted for Soul burners. Of course this depends on the class I'm plying with. I hate them when playing with my warrior. ps. Aren't all nights black? (hint) - Harm
4. I suspect this one will come down to soulies or advocates. I voted for the soul burners because I hate cornering them with my warrior before I get teleport :) ----Falomin
5. Soulies got my vote. With any class that I've played, they've been a pain in the *ss. My mages have trouble cause they're immune, my warrior has trouble cause the run away, and my rogue has trouble simply because they do a lot of damage. -mrbean1121
6. Advos are hard-hitting, but Soulies just take forever to kill...meaning more have time to break free of their statue-bondage. Chalk one up for Soulies for me. ~Fritz
7. Soul Burners are THE hardest monster class in the game, for any character. Triple Immunity, a very powerful ranged attack, and they come in large packs. Nasty to the bone. -Leshy
8. Soul Burners gets my vote. They are immune, powerful, fast, and are in packs. - Mr.Guy
9. My mage and warrior absolutely *hate* soulies (other than the chance they can drop the obs/zod everyone desires ;) ). A mage has to use mana to sc then whack them and the warrior has to chase them down. --Oncal
10. Soulies, of course... Advos are mean, but they have less HP, don't have an infinite line of sight on your Golem, and don't pack as bad a punch. KoH
11. No doubt Soulies will slow you down and hem you up...Be careful -Grin
12. Easy. Soulies. Advos are hard, but travel in light packs. Wehn you find a pack of 20 soulies, it isn't fun any way you slice it. Only fun is when they've all died. Then its on to the next pack. You HAVE to search lvl 15, but 16 is the same basic layout. Plus, soulies AND drakes are worse than advos and knights. --- Mean Jean929(Mean ALE)

I'm first!!! My clvl 35 arty is my pride and joy. =) KoH
clvl 40 Tank Mage :) -DeeBye
I've got my lvl28 single warrior. I have a lvl17 mage, but he doesnt have MS so he doesnt stand up, yet. Luckily you didn't mention in multiplayer ;-)---------Mean Jean929
L44 "cat" rogue.. Layil
My tank mage is 43, and working on getting further. Once he levels to 45, I'm gonna start posting his level ups on DSF =) -mrbean1121
I've got my rogue Mephista (40) and my arty sorcerer (40). I remember the days when Mephista died in one fireball... now I think it takes 3 or 4. -Mephista
Boutros_Boutros, the level 37 Arty/Tank hybrid. Has some nice equipment, including an Obs/Zod ammy, an Obs/Wiz ammy, and a Drakes/Zod ring. Used to be Boutros-Boutros the level 40 tank, but he went away a while ago. -BB
Leaving out retired characters, I'd have to say Virgil_Tibbs, my clvl 32 naked mage.
Shiva_the_mage and Shiva_CAT are 34 and 35, they are my best and oldest chars, Shivaking
Meletus(NM) level 38, retired. Right now my highest is 28. - Ben
Hero_Aragorn the Invincible is my best character. He's level 40. -Harm
Mrs.Lamo is level 50, and was my first character, responsible for the best Item's I've found. Mr.Lamo³

Oh joy, I'm first! yay! Well I chose the RC. A great helm for my level 40 warrior Hero_Aragorn the invincible. I just got it BTW. - Harm
Dreamflange for me! It adds craploads of stuff for mages in particular =) -mrbean1121
I absolutely love my DF- I'm not sure if that's because it pushes my mana past 850 or because it gives me a slvl 19 Fireball. KoH
Every character class can benefit from an RC. It's the most overall useful, IMO -DeeBye
How can you NOT include TFoS?!?!??!?!?!?!? *votes Other* -AoM
I've found six stormshields in the last few months, grrr... - Ben
I voted RC. I've only found the RC and TC out of them. Oh well. The Eaglehorn Crusader would kick ass for the Rogue btw :-) -----Mean Jean929
My 3 "clothed" Chars proudly wear a RC :-), that's my choice. But DF is a very very close second. And the spelling mistakes are my fault ;-) Shivaking
Saw my first Gotterdamnrung yesterday... That's edges out the Royal Circlet in my book.
Mindcry... there's something about almost 70 guardians on a screen at once that brings a tear to my eye... :):) -Deep_Thought42
Civerb's Cudgel, what better way to demon bash? --Layil
Unless you need +resist on your helm, nothing beats RC. By the way, where is TFoS? ;) - Tibbs
What? No TFoS? For shame! Who wouldn't like indestructible 8 ac armor? It looks weird too! Mr.Lamo³
other: the Undead Crown Allan_Allan
TFoS! Who wouldn't want a character wearing the Flesh of Souls? Eh?

Oh wow, first. As Apoc is the only spell that can single handedly ruin a co-op game, it gets my vote. - Tibbs
Yeah, blood star. what do you do with it? costs pretty much, doesnt do damage at all, and magic is the most common resist. -Hassinen
They're all pretty pointless, except I do enjoy Inferno. Bone Spirit has its uses, it's a nice scout. I don't see why everyone has to have Apoc, it's pointless out of normal difficulty and not too great there. - Ben
Since you have Apoc listed, you might as well pitch in Nova, which has even fewer uses than Apoc. --Layil
Very, very tough, but I had to go with phasing. To quote Armin's spellcraft guide: "I never bother with this random invitation to a screaming death." KoH
Who needs Phasing when Teleport is around? Sure, it could get you out of a sticky situation, but then you would need to Hotkey it. Bah! -DeeBye
At least the other four MIGHT be useful... what's the point of a slow-moving, short-range, high-cost burst of fire, when there are faster (Firebolt), more powerful (Fireball), longer-lasting (Firewall) and self-targetting (Guardian) fire spells instead?
When my mage did his 3@30, he had..... level 0 Inferno. And he did not miss it at all. That gets my vote. Shivaking
BoneSpirit? Why? Too hard to find, and in the long run, a bit too weak. Phasing? Why phasing? Phasing is fun for playing chicken around diablo's room in hell ;P! It can also be useful for confusing PK's who think you'll Teleport behind them! Mr.Lamo³
Phasing? Who uses that? -El_Gecko
Hey, I don't have any of the spells in the lists! I think I really need to play more, so that I can learn these useless spells!-Allan_Allan
Blood Star..hands down!--anode
Bloodstar for me, it's so useless. BTW I would never choose Apocalypse, cause that' s one of my favorites. It's really fun to keep several scrolls, stand next to Laz's Lair, and then use them all. Really fun! -Harm
Inferno..i use to think it was phasing until I tried a pickpocket.-wickedgrin-
Inferno is too slow to hit anything and deals way too little damage. The other spells mentioned do have their uses now and then. Well, Inferno doesn't do anything to any monster that moves, while the others can have their uses now and then. -Leshy
Oh, It's blood star. It moves too slowly, and most monsters are magic resistant/immune anyway. I actually DO use inferno to kill things from time to time =) -mrbean1121
Sheez, why do you people pick phasing? It may be a random landing, but it casts faster than teleport because of that, making stair deaths easier to deal with! -mrbean1121, again
Hhee. Phasing is usefull until you get Teleport. Bloodstar can be used to hit monstres far way, but inferno is altogether useless,unless youlike that kind ofchalleneg, IMO. -----Mean Jean929

wheee... first one. I actually had to think about this one, but I think i've been around 9 months or so... how long have I been active is a different story. ~poe
6 months and running! Big D.
I started reading the forum about 2 years ago when I got Diablo, but never posted until about six months later, so I've been there about a year and a half. -Ben
I've had the game for about 5 months and I finally found out about the forum about 3 months ago. I didnt start posting for awhile. curtner
I chose 1-1.5 years. I came to the DSF and lurked for about 5 months then started posting. But I am no reg.. --Cold Flame (I first started posting at the DSF as The-Mage)
...stumbled onto the DSF at the end of last year, so it's either 4-8 or 9-11...can't really remember. =) ~Fritz
I've been around since.... ack.... late last year, so 4-8 months. I don't remember my first post, or when I originally visited the forum. Ah well... ;) -mrbean1121
I came near the second week of January. I was shopping for a good comp game on the 26th od Dec. (cheaper prices day), and the Diablo box really intrigued me. I then asked my friends brother to burn me the game. Previously, I had seen withces and Lawyers pounding my friends character and I found it boring and not so good looking. I decided that I would give it try at 5$, and so I came to the forum with my first post that was entitled something like this: "Is Diablo worth it?" I remember someone, I think it was Eli, answered: "It's like asking nuns if Heavens worth it!". Hehe. Good times! ----Mean Jean929
best advice on the game...IMHO..Wickedgrin
Truth is, I am not very sure. I lurked for a while in DSF before I started posting, 1-1.5 years should be about right. One thing I remember is that I was there before E~T! and Pope Master joined and spammed the forum (when they were still newbies). Btw, just stepped in for the first time, hiya all! SoulEdge
I said 2-2.5 years (came here around May '99), but I've had the game for almost 4 years (June '97). About 1.5+ years, I believe. I lurked for a bit before then, but that don't count. :p - Tibbs
I first visited the DSF on March 31, 2000 and started posting about a week later. -Boutros-Boutros
I didn't discover this place until this year... stupid me... would've helped me in my newbie days =)
4 months for me. Some days before Valentine's day I first came there. I asked if there where still people playing Diablo1 (I assumed it was a D1 and D2 forum.) If I recollect correctly, the one person that ansered my question was Summoner. -Harm
Play the darned game for 3 1/2 years, find the forum 3 1/6 years after. Sigh* I was using Jarulf's when it came out though... Mr.Lamo³
Er.... I think I barely qualify for the 4-8 months category. KoH
Been lurking and posting under various aliases since March 1998, mostly lurking though ;) --Layil

1. Glad to participate in this poll. I've really played Diablo for about 12 hrs straight staying up Saturday night. =) (From 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m 8-) ) - Regna -
2. Thats alot of beer! Grin : )
3. The longest Ive ever played was in an 11 hour IM game. I believe ~poe said on a night in the DSF channel, "It's not a good IM game if it didn't last at least two hours... even better if you notice yourself getting hunger pains, and the best if you watch the sun rise twice during it."
4. I spent all afternoon beating Diablo with my friend =/
5. I once played Diablo for 12 hours when I first got it, playing from about 10 in the morning (after I got it) to 10 at night. Yikes! I need to sleep! It's 2 AM! Mr.Lamo³
6. I don't have alot of free time and also try and refrain from spending all of that free time playing Diablo. I know how addictive Diablo can be because it is so much fun and is never the same layout. I voted 3-4 hours. :) TaiBo
7. After 11 years of playing violin I can't use a mouse for more than an hour or so without stabbing pain (carpal tunnel and tendonitis probably). I've started using that auto-clicker so it's a little easier now, but still can't play too long. - Ben
8. Played for about 13 hours straight at the April 2000 DSF meet :) --Layil
9. I played around 5 hours straight I think. That would probably be my first 1@17 attempt. I screwed and then switched to sp or some other mp. Maybe not. I'm pretty sure I play some of my games up to 5 hours straight, so I'm pretty sure I did with Diablo, but I'm not 100% sure. ----Mean Jean929
10. When I was getting my first level fifty sorcerer to maximum experience, I played way over nine hours straight (I played non stop until he got there, excluding necessities). That was in the summer of 1998. -Scrape
11. Back in my PSX Diablo days, I would get up in the morning - play all day/afternoon/night - go to bed - and repeat again the next day :) -DeeBye
12. I'm not afraid to admit it... I have played diablo for 20 straight hours once (left me with a very large case of heartburn)
13. I don't remember exact numbers, but I said 6-7 hours. It was one time when I fell asleep around 5:00 PM, and woke up a little before midnight. Since I couldn't go back to sleep, I went and played Diablo almost non-stop until 7:00 AM. -El_Gecko
14. I got the game and next weekend went playing from 10am till 12pm or so, having 2 pauses for eating in between. Addictive game! I should get a life... ~Hassinen~
15. 4-5 hours was the longest my wife has been out of the house when I've been able to play Diablo :) Falomin
16. I've played several times about 7 hours or so. Thought that was much, but when I see these results..... - Harm
17. I voted 4-5, but I'm probably wrong. I don't exactly time myself, you know. KoH
18. i played diablo 4-5 hours once and im playing only LEGIT way coz i belive that we can make d1 legit again so help DDK bring d1 back to legit status.

1. First Vote! I like Gharbad the weak because he's a stupid goat that sounds like a panzy, but then he scares the crud out of you by attacking. I screamed! And then he gives you crap. Mr.Lamo³
2. Chamber of Bone gives you a bunch of stuff pretty early in the game, including your first guardian...a great find, IMHO. ~Fritz
3. chamber of bone, there are tons of rewards in it :)
4. I just LOVE mowing down all the Skellys with CL! The payload is nice for the level, too.
5. I picked the hall of the blind because I thought the sorcerer reading that poem was great: "out of DARKNESS out of MIND! CAST DOWN into the halls of the BLIND!" - Tibbs
6. I love the Butcher's quest. He sends chills down my spine when I pop open that door and he says "Ah! Fresh Meat!". It's so satisfying to end his demonic life :) -DeeBye
7. Leoric for me. I just love everything he sais when you enter his tomb in SP. I just love that part! I also like Zhar the mad. "All these interruptions can make one insane, nwhahahaahaha!" Very cool. But I chose Leo. - Harm
8. I like Leoric, the Undead Crown is nice - Ben
9. The first time i saw that guardian i emptied my blue bowl on firebolts.... I thought he was hostile:-)
10. Leoric for me-Allan_Allan I don't have many latter quests experience:-)
11. Oh, I anticipated that most of voters don't like Valor quest. I voted for Valor because it is the 1st mail class armor I got from my first playin' Diablo SP. I was surprised my warrior's look was changed when equiping it. 8-) Butcher quest is my 2nd favorite. I'd voted Butcher if I could kill him when first playing hehe. =) "May the spirit of Arkaine protect me!" - Regna -
12. The first time I did the Chamber of Bone on the PSX I got my butt kicked, very badly. I was so happy when I was able to beat it, I always remeber that. Falomin
13. Chamber. Roasting those skels pr casting spells on them makes for a lot o fun. Hehe. I stairtraped em the first time I played so it was pretty easy. --Mean Jean929
14. i like the valor quest cuz made my warrior look like a pimp in his new armor
15. Where's the WarLord of Blood Quest? I was excited to find him and his gift room in Single Player each time. –ET
wow, first! I said lachdannan, because he gives you possibly the best unique helm in the game. -mrbean1121
You have to love the Warlord of Blood. You get a bunch of great stuff along with that quest. It's like Christmas in Hell. -DeeBye
moo - Ben
I like the Lazarus quest since you can get some of the best items in the game when doing laz runs... ~Hassinen~
In SP its soooo.... spooooookyyyyiieeee..... Oh my, oh my. Taibo, how can you forget Anvil of Fury quest in your poll list?? =) I love Griswold's Edge pretty much. I've beaten Diablo with my warrior using it. Spectral Elixer is cool as well, but I like weapon :) - Regna -
Valor.......thats great armor in dlvl 5-Grin: )
Laz = good items and some nice tactics needed. I cast a golem with my rogue (scroll) and watched him corner laz and maul him dead. Very fun.- Mean Jean929
moo, ben? lol, I wouldn't have thought jersey's jersey would get any votes o.O -mrbean1121
