And don't forget two things :

A. You should better use a Firewall, at least a Personal Firewall, that's better than nothing.

B. You must ALLOW the game to access the internet, then.

For D2 this would mean the following :

1. You have in this example Zonealarm running.

2. You start D2.

3. After you initiated the Internet access from within the game, use the key combination ALT TAB (ALT pressed, then TAB) to switch back to the desktop.

4. There you see something looking like a dialogue-box : You need to click the ALLOW part ("yes") of it for the game, and check REMEMBER for the future.

5. This is the case for the first time you have Zonealarm running with a game or program, generally speaking.

@ Alrik!

I just installed Zonealarm and it works very nice. Didn´t get a single pop up since than...

...and the other features are also very helpful.

Thanks a lot for the link and the information. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You forgot something important Joliekiller. You also get 2 new characters to start with. That is a Druid and a Assassin. And I think it is even possible to change your non expansion characters to a expansion character, so you can play further with them. That saves you some time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

a lot of time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

sorry merendious forgot about that. And yes it is a must to have a bigger inventory and you can change your chars to expantion chars, forgot that too.

So is it possible in the B-NET after installing the expansion to be able to keep my ama? It would save me (and all the others that play with me) a lot of time indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yep. In your char-choose-screen you have a botton on the bottom witch sais change to expantionchar (or something like that). After pressing this, it should be ok. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

See you on bnet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thnx Jolie! I will go and take the expansion tomorrow. I discovered that it is on sales too!! It costs almost nothing! So I don't have to wait till pay day!! Keep your fingers crossed to have it in the shop. I am afraid that it will be sold out.

I was just ... "impressed" how small the inventory was - and still is, even with LOD, because you often find so good things and don't know what to do ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

@ alrik, you tell me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thats why lots of ppl have mule character, or even mule accounts (I have 2 mule account, on which all my characters are filled with stuff I just can't part with) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

only 2 ?

i have since starting lod again now 20 muel accounts with 8 chars on every acc. 3 playing accounts.

am i addicted to this game ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

yes you are, really <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I must say that I stopped at my peak <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Got bored with it, only play it again for a short time.

And what kind of items do you keep?
It wont be all tall rashas armor and such.

guess so Lynx... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

starting game
larian/riftrunner

who wants can join
non expansion
non hardcore
non ladder

i have nearly all set and unique items from 1.09. my crafts, good rares, my gems, runes, jewels etc.

Got a good practice yesterday with Bernhard. Today is the day! I will go for the expansion after work.

I discovered that the mage is a very weak char to play. At least at the begining. You must invest carefully your skills in order to be stronger. Paladins kill with one shot. Why don´t they create women paladins? Women are too weak! At least in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> you can have a disent female warrior.

@ lynx wow <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> show me some one day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ luc not entirely true, amazons and sorcs can become very powerfull. But like you said, only lateron in the game (guided arrow and such) And when she has fine weapons like the buriza, windforce or titans (for a javazon).
Sorcs can become pretty powerfull too, though they could find the problem of elemental resisting opponents <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

@ jvb thnx. That is a problem for the mage indeed. On the other hand I am convinced that when you play in multiplayer game, and you have a team, a mage is usefull. Freeze the enemy in order to slow him down and then paladins and barbarians do their show <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> and kill him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Btw jvb I couldn´t stop laughing with your comments in B-NET. I like your humor
