I'm trying to run the Throne of Destruction in NM and I've been
instantly killed in at least three games and not by the same monsters,
either.  What's going on?  I mean one moment my life is full and the
next I'm dead.  It's no fun when I can't defend against what kills me.

I am at a loss for a bit in RL so deciede to do some solo questing in a
pw game (to avoid unwanted interuptions and drive by spaming).
I realise i have no wps in Hell act 1 so ok lets see how SimontheTempler
(Lvl 73) performs on his own.  I manged to kill quite quickly in the den

Hey man, if you are looking for those dracs lets get a time to meet
this weekend if possible.  They mey not be perfect, but they are dracs
just the same.  I have them on my key-hunting guy.  If we cannot meet I

I can't transmute it with my cube from my previous game..
Do I need the cube in this game?

Well, UberVlad has been through 4/5 of NM with only a few glitches, most
notably in act IV.  An OK killed him once.  I was amazed at how he was

courtesy of Mickey.  Some highlights:

So I'm being disgusted by the lag (gee, who isn't?) so I decide to go to
to the bnet forums to complain, not that will do anything.  I search for
"lag" wanting to see tons of messages complaining.  Apparently the
search is down.  But I can post and read messages just fine.  What ...

Thank you for the excellent time I had at Mickey Mart yesterday.

Saving gems for my next shopping trip right now!

I was helping someone with Duriel.  Or at least that was the plan.
We found and killed the summoner and were working our way through the
tomb, when things started to get laggy.  Before we could reach Duriel

Has anyone heard when a ladder reset may occur?
I spoke with a Blizzard tech and they would only comment that they

Okay, I'm getting up in level (clev 50) and I'm getting to the point
where I need some appropriate gear of UberVlad, the Smitalot.  I've
maxed Zeal and Smite and am working on Fanaticism.

Hey Mickey... just wanted to say thanks for putting that Fortitude together
