Lol! Well you get better far Karma from that than when I do a Riverdance.

Yea, this is why around level 18 I started a magician and played him for a
while as I did a lot of soloing. It was a painful time for me as a bard.
Things really picked up for me about level 23 when I started soloing the
gargs. And a pack full of gargoyle eyes makes one pretty happy.

Well I've waited through at least 3 re-adjusted release dates that I can
recall for Diablo II, essentially 2 missed Christmas's and have kind of
soured on the game due to this. Also, EQ has definitely affected my desire
to play this, but my friends will probably buy Diablo II, so I'll end up
joining them.
Diablo had it's share of bugs as well and tons of anti-hacking patches that
I'm sure was the cause of delays for Diablo II. Diablo II initially looked
like it was going to be just an enhanced Diablo with some new places to hunt
and a new character, but has since evolved into a newer game.
Oh well. If it's fun to play, I'm sure I'll be there.
