I finished everything in my typing class, so I'm doing a project where I list all the commonly used shortcuts (like lol). I have another of these on the B+B board, so if anyone knows slang that is generally used only in internet-adventure games it would be nice to post 'em here. Thanks.

Unrelated: do you have a Diablo II realms character? If so, we could play with/against eachother...

Just a question I was waiting for. I'm native to the USWest realm, but I have two on USEast (not nearly as far as my paladin) and they are playable-with noticable lag...

Ok, my USEast characters suck though... I have a lvl 29 paladin (act 4 nightmare-skipped half the quests in act 3) and a friend with a level 22 necro on USWest. You sure you couldn't make a new one? We could help you along for a bit...until you make it to act 3 (thats where the necro guy is working on-the quests he skipped) or you could get there on you own... please?

My USEast characters are a lvl 18 sorceress and a lvl 12 necro. Both suck and are not very far along...

What's your account name? Mine is:

Sc~Avatara~Sc

And my paladin is called: Trundaylan (guess where the webboard name came from Posted Image )

Back to the topic:

gl = good luck
hf = have fun
dd = don't die
cya = See you later
eye C = I see (though why they would use it, have no idea)
* = apple (not on b.net)
y = shortcut for yes
n = shortcut for...you guessed it!... no

Does that help? Posted Image

Diablo 2 realms?

Yes.

If I were to play on B.Net with you, would I have to make a new account on USWest?

Well, new character not new account. But yeah, unless I use my really pathetic USEast chatacters. In order to play with each other, all players must use characters from the same realm.

It should be easy for you to get going (especially with a sorceress) and catch up-you just need to make it to act 3 normal. And don't make a hardcore person just yet.

I'll make a new account as soon as I have some free time. Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain two accounts.

Nonono, new character. Make it as you normally would, but choose the USWest realm as opposed to the USEast one. You can have up to 8 realm characters on one account.

What's your character name? My level 30 paladin is called: Trundaylan. Also, look for Hippiepants (my friend).

Account name?

Hay! Seeing how this has been turned into a "other computer games" topic:

Does anyone else, um, "play" RoboWars? For those who don't, I put play in "" because I wouldn't really describe it as that. You basicly program a robot to move around in a play area and kill other robots. It's sort of like an RPG, but more passive.

If you do play, do you have any robot entered in T19?
If you don't, but are interested, go to [url="http://"http://www.robowar.co.uk/"]www.robowar.co.uk/[/url] and download it!
