    This is my best memory entry.

    I learned a valuable lesson in my life in this community a few years ago when I did a mistake and choose to lie instead of telling the truth. Since then i've been forgiven and welcomed back but it mirrored back to me some of my behaviours and throughout the years I understood that honesty and character are most valuable and people calling out truth and childish behaviour opened my eyes and changed me in good ways as a person.

    Happy new year everyone and i wish you all the best!

    Favourite memory:
    The ladder before this one i was trying to finish an amazon char of my dreams, with full java skiller + frw inventory (and with certain skin as well). i only financed this one character, so i offered a lot of runes for these charms and were looking for them for a very very long time.
    Now i never hid my opinion about item prices, i always said whats on my mind, so when i joined a random "s all on me" game, and asked for the price of an item and the seller said a rather high price, i said "wow thats way too much, not interested ty", and i left. Now the guy took it very personally, he knew i was looking for these charms, so on an alternate account he went into lobby and said "s java frw dragon skin".
    I obviously messaged him and said i was interested, ready to make a good offer. I offered 5 bers which at the time was like 5x overprice (but i was easily ready to pay that much for it). Now the guy just wanted to tease me so he logged in on another alternate account, and wrote a higher offer into chat. At that time i didn't know it was the same guy, but i got a whisper from Gix, telling me to play into it :D
    So i offered even more (and still ready to pay it) but i knew something was fishy. I think you can guess the end of the story, the guy made another fake offer from the alternate account, trying to make me mad, and then Gix (who was watching in silence) told him its against the rules to lash up prices from alternate accounts, and the guy got some punishment.
    Conclusion of the story: I always get surprised about some ppl's childishness LMAO, why the hell did he get so mad?
    We are all here to have fun, love you guys <3

    edit: this is my entry for the contest, i think this is my fav one

    some more memories:
    the only character i leveled from 1 to 99, my dear amazon, lets look at her hitting that sweet 99 level


    and then the time when i rolled myself a jmod - no financial greed, just to get myself the item instead of buying it. after this, the only item i haven't ever got is the legendary 6 java 40ias amazon javelins (to this day)
    pictured is my first reaction to my dear friend Kiwifruit, i think you can see the point in between the messages when the roll happened :D

    Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for this incredible space we all share. From my very first day in this game, I've been welcomed with open arms, and it's been a journey like no other. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, this community makes each experience unforgettable.

    The game itself is a masterpiece, but it's the people here and the unique features of this server that truly set it apart. The fast exp gain and mega drop rate have kept things fresh, making every play session feel rewarding. And don't get me started on the expanded inventory! It’s a game-changer that allows for even more customization and strategy, giving us all the freedom to really dive deep into the game. It's not just about the loot or the levels – it's about the stories we share, the friendships we build, and the thrill of discovering new ways to play.

    To everyone who has been a part of this community, thank you for making it such a special place. Here's to many more adventures, memories, and loot-filled moments ahead. The future is bright, and I can’t wait to see what comes next for all of us.;):tup:

    Best Wishes to the Diablo 2 EuropeBattle Community

    From the moment I joined this server, I knew it was something special. Over the years, it’s become more than just a place to play—it’s a home filled with incredible people who share the same love for this legendary game. The late-night runs, the intense duels, and the friendships I’ve built here are memories I’ll always treasure.

    I have to give a huge shoutout to GIX—without a doubt, the best admin around. He’s not just an admin; he’s the heart of this community. Always helpful, always fair, and always making sure things run smoothly. While all the admins do a great job, GIX goes above and beyond, and we’re lucky to have him.

    To everyone in this amazing community—thank you for keeping the game alive and making it such a great place to be. Here’s to many more years of epic battles, great loot, and even better company!

    Stay awesome, and see you in-game! :)

    This server is my entire online gaming so I wish it many more seasons so that we can have this fantastic place to relax.

    And that's why I have memories of how I got my first ZOD here https://forum.europebattle.net/threads/your-best-find-of-the-day.539901/page-8#post-800008
    How I gambled Griffon https://forum.europebattle.net/threads/your-best-find-of-the-day.539901/page-340#post-982967
    How I bought the most beautiful ethereal tiara for a necromancer that was worth investing a ZOD rune in https://forum.europebattle.net/threads/the-showoff-place.540730/page-2#post-813583
    How I got an almost perfect Ghreeds back in the days when a five looked like a six https://forum.europebattle.net/threads/your-best-find-of-the-day.539901/page-55#post-818282
    How I was first in the ladder for a few days with level 98 and my necromancer
    20170818001.jpg
    And many, many more.

    I'm still waiting for the first Tyrael's Might.

    Have fun.

    I am, probably like most of you, an old school player, meaning that we played this game for the first time (very) long ago, in the early 2000's.

    My favorite memory in this server is the very first time I got to know of its existence. That was not so long ago, 2020, shortly after the covid pandemic began. You know, lockdown, a lot of unexpected time at home... and somehow I thought of that game I played as a child. A google search rapidly brought me to D2 Europebattle. Installing the game (with the difficulties with MH, ddraw, crashes, etc etc... but at some point it worked) and starting my first character (obviously a sorc, because we called it sorc in the official servers back then, not soso ;) ) was a f*cking good feeling. The first days I was so tired at work the day after... because I spent until late doing stuff here and there...

    It still wonders me now how much D2 can make you hooked on it, even though we keep repeating the same story line, same bosses, same WP names, same NPCs, slightly different but quite similar builds... there is always something new to try out. At this point I would also like to recognize the good work of the D2 Europebattle staff when creating events and adapting the game with new patches (à la gem bag) every now and then.

    In any case: long life D2 and long life D2 Europebattle!

    First of all i want to thank to every person responsible for having this great community, been playing on and off for the last 10+ years, a lot of good memories, one that comes to me is finding a zod rune from the sparkling chest in the nihlathak waypoint area, actually I have found every rune from there. Cheers :)

    I have many beautiful memories in this community starting with the first game I played here which is MuOnline but I think in D2 my dearest memory was completing classic Hardcore and I won't forget that feeling, it's the same one when I did my first reset in MU. I want to thank everyone who is part of this community starting with the admins who offer their time to keep this peaceful place running and every nice player who is kind and helps others and makes the game experience so wonderful where everyone feels welcome. @Gix we know each other for many years before I was playing D2 and I'm proud to be part of what you created here 20 years ago, I wish you all the best and for the entire EuropeBattle community for another 20 years and more.

    Wishing you all good health, peace, and plenty of calm moments in your day. And of course, hope you get some time to kick back and enjoy our favourite game! Here’s to good vibes, fun times and many ber runes ahead. A huge thank you to this amazing community for being so supportive and to the awesome admin team for keeping everything running smoothly. You all make this a great place to be!

    Best memory:
    During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was sent to New Zealand for a work project. Two weeks in, the country went into lockdown. Isolated in a hotel room, I found myself alone, grappling with a significant time difference that left me disconnected from loved ones. After exhausting all available content on Netflix, boredom set in.

    One day, an old childhood friend reached out, suggesting I check out a particular server. After a 7-8 year hiatus from Diablo 2: LoD, I decided to give it a try. I created an account and began reacquainting myself with the game. On my first day, while starting a new character in a game titled "Beginning," a helpful player appeared and offered me a rush. This was unexpected, as I was accustomed to the "Hellforge rune for rush" exchanges, which I found fair since the rusher was spending time they could use for farming. However, this player didn't ask for anything in return; they even dropped some items for me. I was taken aback by such kindness, especially since, in my past experiences on Blizzard servers, many players attempted to scam others.

    Hour after hour, day after day, I encountered numerous helpful individuals who played the game for fun and enjoyed assisting newcomers. This was unusual for me. Of course, there were occasional toxic players, but I quickly noticed an admin team that went beyond the usual expectations of Diablo 2 support.

    The culmination of this experience was rediscovering my favourite game from my youth. Not only did I reconnect with the game, but I also communicated with many people across different time zones, from Canada to Latin America. They shared more hours with me while I was in New Zealand than my usual contacts. I believe this experience saved me in a way; who knows how my mental health would have fared during a year of continuous lockdowns?

    I have many cherished memories: farming, achieving my first level 99, witnessing other players' 99 level-ups, countless hours of duels, learning new strategies, balancing builds, making events and more. But my absolute best memory is of that first player who helped me without asking for anything in return. Later on, I discovered that this same player was also a fan of hybrid assassins, just like me.
