Starting back up

I'm thinking about getting back into D2 with a friend or two.

How long till the next ladder wipe?

Do some people still play on East and some on West, or is everyone on the same server now?

What class(es) reign supreme now? Are hammerdins the hardest hitters and frozen orb sorcs still useful for botting/etc?

How is botting nowadays?

How about maphack?

Most people here play on east. I think one or two play on west.

Next ladder wipe is definitely a while off. It was recently wiped, like a few months ago.

Let me know what you plan on doing (PVP, botting, ownage, etc) and I can let you know what seems to be the best.

I hear botting is still around in full force, as is maphack.

Welcome back to the addiction!

The next ladder reset is undetermined, but I'm going to assume sometime next spring/summer.

Most people play on East, though I know Kazilla plays on West.

Hammerdins are still the most played/overpowered/rusher/Mfer in the game. Blizzard/Fireball Sorcs are the most common.

Botting is OK, not the best that it's been but there are still bots available.

Maphack is currently working, check this thread: http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46256

Play USWest, w/e character you want to make I'll get it equiped minus serious runewords. Also, torches are available.

I attest to this, I made a USWest char and it is now chaos running and pretty good. I am remaking it though, with kazzila's help.

I think I'm just looking to build up a character or two to dick around with and bot.

USWest I can get your a hammerdin equiped to MF or BaalBot. Everything except the enigma... which you'll have to figure out a way on how to get. Or a sorc I could equip you.
