6. D2 Experience

I've played D2 since it was released, I've made mods and hosted realms for every patch since 1.09b, I've dueled in almost every league that has ever been made for D2 on USEast, USWest, and Europe. I know pretty much every single thing about this game, inside and out.

7. D2 GM Experience

I've both hosted and been admin of many realms over the course of my D2 time, most of them died because, let's face it, all realms do eventually if you don't have the money to keep them up, and money was almost always the reason they went down. I've also been the mod-maker for many realms, including D2War (a Classic only pvp realm), D2Relived (a 1.09d PVP realm), and many more.

8. Reasons you feel that would qualify you as a good Game Master Apprentice

In actuality this is more of a mod-maker application than a GM application, mainly because I feel like this realm needs more fluid updating. There's a lot of potential here, especially considering a lot of users are actually encouraging some change, but it seems like there's currently just no drive for the mod to be made. As stated before I've made many mods, and I love to play private realms due to their flexibility, and I would really like to see this realm come alive in different ways. Some key issues I'd hit on are:

1) More balanced low-level uniques. The current ones make no sense, by the time you're of level to use them they aren't any use anymore.
2) More flexible builds, without ruining current builds. Most mods that add new build types (such as fire arrow zons) somehow ruin another build in the process, or make some builds very overpowered. I would like to see more builds brought to light without effecting any current builds if possible, and I believe I could do it.
3) Classic D2 support. I, along with other players on this realm, play classic here. If you look at the classic ladder there's some people playing fluently (to include an 80+ necro on HC) and I think there should be more support for it, without effecting LoD in the process of course.
4) Variable items. Every hammerdin in the world shouldn't be using a Hoto, it's boring. I'd like to see more variable items added, WITHOUT making anything overpowered. I saw in the item suggestions belts and rings that are just ridiculous, and items with 500% ED, etc. but I think I could add variable items WITHOUT changing a current items effectiveness.
5) KEEPING THE CORE PLAYSTYLE OF D2. I see a lot of realms/mods that go too far, and it's just not D2 anymore. Or realms that try to add "their own balance to the game" and ruin PVP as a whole, or make one character basically the only one worth using. I want to try to make these changes (if you allow me to of course) without taking that old "D2 feel" from the game.

As for the GM application itself, I speak english, I know the game very thoroughly, I am very willing to help people and am very patient. I love the game, and would love to help this realm grow.
