Before I de-Sticky this, I wanted to say a big "thank you" to AE for this guide.

It was a great help to me when I joined this forum and I'm sure everyone else feels the same way too.

There goes the old bible of SPF play. Thank you very much for compiling it AE, it still is the basis for the single player forum, although Thy did mangle it a little.

Four and a half years. On the interweb that's an eternity. Your contribution will never be forgotten AE. We don't see much of you these days but we haven't forgotten you. *Salute*

Re: Single Player FAQ, Tips & Character Guides updated 22 May08

My first port of call for any question I've had about D2 since I found this forum. Thanks to everyone who put this together or updated it for taking the time to put it together and doing such a good job of it in the process.

Re: Single Player FAQ, Tips & Character Guides updated 22 May08

Almost sad to see this go. I remember using some parts of this guide back in my b.net days and between b.net and my current SP-era, when I had no active account here. One of the better FAQs/guides on the site.

A truly great compilation of D2 info.

Thanks AE, and anyone else who has contributed over the years.
