Welcome to ZodRune!
I'm Luke, a 21-year-old English university student, and this is my Diablo 2 blog.
I've never made a blog about gaming before, but seeing as I consider Diablo 2 to be my favourite game of all time, I thought this would be the place to start. I've become really invested in some of my characters in Diablo 2 over the years, and seeing how much effort you need to put into a single play file to beat the game (on Hell), I thought that it would be cool to document my progress in an interesting and entertaining style.
This will be no ordinary playthrough, however.
My plan is to simultaneously train up 7 different characters, one in each class, and use a mule program (GoMule) to trade between them and store endless amounts of items; this will all be done on Single Player.
The goal will be to beat Hell with all 7 characters, and after that if I've still not had my fill then I may try to get every item in the game using those 7 characters (this is dubbed a Holy Grail)!
While trading is allowed via GoMule, characters cannot meet using LAN in order to progress in the game, trade or do anything else. When a character beats Baal on a given difficulty, that character is locked from play until all other characters also beat that difficulty. Characters' builds can be changed at any time.
