Legolas in Diablo II?
Berendir @ 7:02 pm EST

A while ago Olorin from the Gaming Boards mentioned he had a Diablo II clan going, or would like to expand on one at least. He recently posted some more info on it, and though theres no site to go join this clan, I thought I'd post it to give people an idea of the kinds of things they could do to make a more Middle Earthish atmostphere in different games.

The clan is basically a group of people who like Tolkien and Diablo II. All characters have to be hardcore, and members should help each other out in quests, which could make it slighty easier to beat Diablo on Hell level :). The group should also share equipment, so although you can't be an Elf or a Dunadan in Diablo, if your name is, for instance, Legolas, then to keep in the "Middle-earth" atmosphere, your character should try to use bows and knives as much as possible, green/brown carmour etc, and if another member has those items then they could trade with them. Similarly, a player named Durin would have to try and use axes, etc.
One benefit of a clan is that if, say, there were two necros, one could concentrate their skills on summoning while the worked on curses and direct damge.
There's no site (at least until I can figure out how to use Ws_ftp) at the moment, but people could keep in touch by using MSN Messenger (or icq) or e-mail.
Just a thought.

So just to recap, if anyone is thinking of creating a character named Bilbo, he better not be wielding a large sword or war hammer.
