Special Events 20 Year Anniversary Contests and Events

Hello everyone, this is my best wish entry

I'm not perfectly talking english as you can see but i want to wish a freakin happy new year guys , and the best drop's for you all!
i think You all made a Great year! keep it up! <3

 

For this 20th anniversary, I have gone through many people, I have made friends, but also enemies. Since I have been playing on this server since 2014, I have learned a lot about the game: facts, hidden things, Easter eggs, bugs, rituals and more cube things. I am grateful to this game and especially to Gix, who to this day maintains this server to fill the eyes of the players with joy. I also want to thank Gix for opening my eyes to some things and that one should not give up, in any situation. I wish Gix and his entire GM team and all these players to continue this game for another 20 years. Thank you for everything!

 

My favourite memorie is when i started playing diablo 2 , not private servers.
its maybe a different memorie for me what i can tell you with my english knowledge (lol) , but this is was soo epic for me.

we are walking around 2006-7? maybe i dont remembering correctly.
my first really really hardplay( in my mind) was a den of evil quest. ( you think now ofc, its simple this is the first quest!, and you right but!)
i died 20+ times minimum, tryhard like 3.5 hours (i know it was 3.5 bcs this was a "playtime" from my father, like a weekly playtime) and i cant finished the quest in 3.5 hour.
next week i deleted the character, made an another one and keep trying, on my own. after 1 hour i won with my paladin!!!

after all... Love, endurance ,humility. these 3 thing changed my attitude for the game and for the life.
i was 8y Old.

 

BEST MEME

 

FAN ART

Spoiler alert, Im not picasso, but this is my shot at painting the character i spend the most time with on the server, this took a while to paint since my painting skills are barely non-exsistent

 

Spectacular! You're more of a Van Gogh yourself

 

1. FAN ART
Due to obvious reasons, in the silicone valley of Europebattle, the Amazon has the two biggest reasons to be a fan favorite - bigger than D2R for sure.

Edit: added background and caption because it was too dull without.



2. FAVORITE MEMORY & BEST WISHES
Despite the fact that I started playing here quite some time ago, my presence and activity were sporadic - didn't quite have a consistent online presence, due to real life things.
While I don't have a specific or targeted past event to share with you, my "favorite memory" of this community is the fact that long ago it indirectly helped me traverse some rather tough times, by simply offering me a place to play one of my all-time favorite games with other people, free of charge, and forget about things. To me, at that particular time in my life this community has been therapeutical, and that memory will never fade away.
For this reason, I would like to thank the entire community for what they are - with both bad and good actors, all of you play a significant part in shaping up this awesome community!
Lastly, I would also like to congratulate the entire staff for what they have accomplished. The consistency and evolution have been amazing, I am proud to have been here.

3. BEST MEME

 

FAVORITE MEMORY
The time when I got my first Ber on the battle net which I never got before at other server. To date I had all the runeword I want, but the 1st one is still in my memory.
BEST WISHES
I had played with this server couple of times, not that often anymore due to other errands for the real life. But after playing so many other games and at other server, europe battle net is always one of my places after several years playing.
BEST MEME
Just do game

 

My best memory has to be the day i found my first high rune here i woke up early... started the game helped a friend and went farming i was in durance of hate feeling completely tired cause i woke up just a few minutes ago and was killing everything (literally) wish i remembered the elites name but little did i know what it had waiting for me a ber rune! it felt like i jumped through the roof i had energy that whole day thinking about it like "when am i seeing another one? what if its a Jah rune!" didn't find much else that day but still that sits with me today replaying every so often

i wish you all the best in your findings and leveling best of luck!

 

I can't remember what it was like, but luckily I found this Diablo II community (one of the few left), perhaps my best memory is when I won my first "count to 1000", it made me feel part of the community, thank you very much for the hours of entertainment, thanks to the support that always responds promptly, happy anniversary and may these 20 years become many more, happy new year and I hope that this ladder does reach 99....

 

Dont be shy, have fun with it

 

Happy 20 years and thank you soooo much for the good memories to all of you. One of my best memories in this server was to find my first ever blue tm Tyrael's Might in this game and that day was glorious for me because I play most SSF HC that means solo self find items without party or trade. We are here trying to find a fun time and escape from our daily routine and for me this game does it but especially this server where I met so many nice people and I want to thank all the admins for their work and time spent here and everyone who supports the server and help other players too because not many understand what it means to do this for 20 years, a number that is maybe higher than our childrens age. I wish the best for everyone in this community and hope we will all be here after another 10 years from this moment, respect everyone!

 

One of my favorite memories from the EuropeBattle community is from the time when the server had so many players, and the duels were always full of energy. I used to have these epic 1v1 battles with my friends—those moments of intense competition and laughter that made the whole experience unforgettable. We’d all talk trash, strategize, and just enjoy being together in the game. It was never about who won or lost, but about the fun and the friendships we were building.

But what truly makes this memory special is the connection to my dad, who introduced me to Diablo 2. Before he passed away, he was the one who showed me the game, and we would spend hours playing together. My favorite character, the Fire Sorceress, became a symbol of those times with him. I loved the feeling of casting fireballs and Meteor showers, just like we did in our duels. Even now, every time I play, I feel like I’m keeping a piece of him alive, honoring the time we spent together through the game.

Every duel, every match, and every moment I spend in the game now brings me back to those days with him. EuropeBattle isn’t just a game to me—it’s a way to hold onto the memory of someone who meant the world to me.

 

Hy friends i first played diablo 2 as a simple low requirement game because it can run on my old computers and laptops so i can play with with other brothers . So i played and me and my brothers were fighting over gems to put in their swords sockets . There was no build and it was so hard to clear normal difficulty without map my brother was furious in catacombs and was so happy after he killed andariel and said we are out! .any way they never played diablo2 after clearing normal difficulty. Even when i tell em that there is good server with map .
Any way thats how i reached server and played on and off years mainly paladin first bcz of previous experience in d2 as he can run faster with vigor . After like knowing there were builds for classes .still i don't use them until i get stuck one time i was in hell difficulty i was zeal paladin and at second act there were these mosquitos like stuff that ignores physical damage i was so furious i said i will these and all by myself by resetting my class and equipping him with reaper toll and said yes now no one can stop me . Hahaha how wrong was i

 

I hope you will win!

FAVORITE MEMORY

I am a newbie in the community and I don't have 20 years of gameplay to look back to, however I will share something that I will remember for some time. I started playing a few months into the new season after not playing Diablo 2 for a very long time and unusual for me I decided my first character to be a Lightning Sorceress. I had made it to Hell, had found starter gear, and even had found some HRs(a Cham and a Ber!). As you would expect I was unhappy with the damage of my sorceress and thought it was time to do something about it. I did not want to break the Cham as I thought I might need it for something else in the future and only 1 Ber was not enough for an infinity, plus, I did not have a base for an infinity, so I decided buying some L skillers would be the way to go. Being a newbie in the server I had no idea of the going prices of anything, but had seen common skillers being traded around a Vex and I felt pretty confident. I made a game seeking to buy L skillers, thinking with the Ber I have I would be able to buy a few skillers, but was I wrong! A player contacted me asking Ber for one L skiller! One! One L skiller! An entire Ber rune! I was shocked to say the least. Thinking to myself this is a Chain of Honor Armor, ~1/2 Infinity, or ~1/3 Enigma. Later I was able to fill my inventory with L skillers, but the way I found just how expensive L skillers were/are and how expensive gearing an L Sorceress is is something I will remember for some time.
