I'd like to take just a moment to write a little post of appreciation for the admins and moderators of this community. I assume the admins are part of the company or group Gamesymbol seeing as it's in your main website URL portal. Gix, other admins, and moderators of this community - I'd like to thank you for taking time finding people who can edit sources and use computing languages, and handling server fees solely for the ability to give us a good community to play Diablo 2, SC, and WCIII + other games. It's of great honor for a lot of us who were still kids when these games were released and we have fond memories of being super noobie and trying to give a take at these games and attempted to understand them while we grew up. I really cherish some of the memories of the experiences I've had and the cool people I've gotten to know short and long-term. I've got a friend from Ireland I've had for over ten years that I talk to regularly, and it's only because of services and games + servers that exist like this. Although most people don't take playing games seriously, when you spend time in your life enjoying them with other people, they become as powerful moments as things you end up experiencing in real life. If it wasn't for communities that are heavily passionate about classic games that many of us love, then servers like this wouldn't exist. We truly need enthusiastic people to keep afloat in a community where the main games of interest are nearly 20 years old. Thank all of you for the experiences and the people. I value the efforts you guys invest into this and appreciate your time and whatever money you may use to make this possible. I plan on getting a few items through the donation system as it's truly the least I could do to show a small thanks for what you've guys been managing and maintaining for all these years. Thanks to you and much love. Gix personally is very fast to inform me about anything I want to know and is never rude in the sake of my ignorance for the game at any time. Thank you. All the players who gave me free items when I was still playing through normal and nightmare, thank you, players who give me overly-lenient trades like mastanz, thank you. Players offering to rush me through my troubles like Kefflar, thanks. Players who always read my threads and posts to enjoy them like Fatty, thanks. Even you guys spamming to rip people off in chat all day, thank you for being a part of this large picture that still manages to exist. Peace and compassion - Mattie (dahappygoat)
I know what you mean brother, before i knew there was a diablo server i used to play on their mu and l2 servers in 2009 and i met great guys that i talk to even today after so many years then i found out there is a diablo2 server too and i knew I had to play here. I remember when i hosted a small game on my own many years ago and it was only for 20-30 players and it was not easy at all and doing this for so many players around the world that not all are nice or respectful must be a hundred times harder and requires time and effort because many of us are not young anymore we have children, jobs other priorities but they still find time and this is very admirable. Thank you all players because this community is awesome and admins for being so great always helping and keeping this game alive. of if anyone wants to play TD together on the WC3 server sometime message me
I notice with time everyone involved tends to play a part in making this a possibility and I wish to remain grateful. Without the old players striking interest in new players we are also nothing here, so, thanks to all! Kindness does outweigh the bitter for the sake of the community but everybody is a part of our experience regardless! I play SC and not WC keff otherwise i'd play some matches
is GameSymbol the name of the main community and diablo2 servers are part of it next to many other games such as warcraft3, starcraft, muonline, world of warcraft, lineage. gameguard is an anti cheat for games before we used to have the gamesymbol forum for all games in once place and now they use separate forums for each game. so many years, so many good memories
Thank you for the kind words, @dahappygoat. It's because of people like you we're all still here and thirteen years later I can still say it's totally worth it even though times changed, we've all grown up, we might not all have as much free time on our disposal as we used to have but we're still standing and rocking. Just by playing here and being friendly, helpful and kind with other people is enough to show your appreciation, keep that in mind. As I said many times before, diablo community remains my favorite community next to the counter strike one of all our other communities and that's mainly because of how supportive and friendly you all are, obviously this includes every single staff member that has been with us over the years as well. I couldn't be prouder, thank you!
Your words are truly inspiring @dahappygoat . I think you speak for most if not all of us. Thank you for such warm thread.
