I’ve converted all but one of my charcters to D2X. Been too busy bringing the new characters up with the rest of 'em. I won’t be on BNet until I clear up my problem with AOL freezing. You should get the expansion, **wishbone**. Lots of added stuff and the doubled stash size is a great help. Plus you get to see NPCs fighting in Act V, not just your hireling! ---

All my characters except Bul-Kuroth are expansion. Only reason he hasn’t been converted is I’ve been too busy with the others. ---

I have a level 64 Assassin on US West. My account is (V)onster, so look me up sometime. My Assassin character is God\_Dammit. I also have a Paladin and a Sorceress that I just started. ---

I am so jealous… I can’t play yet because I’m weak. I’m so weak, that if I start to play, nothing else of any meaning will be accomplished. So I have to put it off until I get other things handled and out of the way. Which may take months. So I hate you all. And now I have the answer to “posters you are jealous of” - the ones who can control themselves playing D2… or have the time to cut loose. ☹ stoid ---

> [@](#): > > that if I start to play, nothing else of any meaning will be accomplished Ain’t that the truth. Hell, I SHOULD be over in GD, ranting and raving about any number of miniscule factoids of information, but NO-O-O-O-O-O… I’m goin going on [Battle.Net](http://Battle.Net)! By the by, everybody, my sorceress (Jokirin, if you remember) is now level 62… I’m gonna be making runs through the Bloody Foothills if you need me. ---

Am I the only one who uses the charcater descriptions in the manuals as a guide in naming a character? IIRC, except for my necro and paly, I based my charactes’ names on the ones that appear in the descriptions. My necro is named after Frank Welker, who provided voices (including the Necromancer) for **Baldur’s Gate** and the paly is the namesake of Richard Boone (The Paladin in **Have Gun, Will Travel** ). ---

I guess the lack of replies indicate that I probably **am** the only one that does so. Anyway, I should be on open BNet USEast for a few hours tonight, starting around 6 Eastern. If anyone is up for some co-adventuring, let me know. And which character you’d like me to bring. 🙂 ---

I just name my characters based on what I think would be amusing or interesting… or just “different”. For example, my first sorc was named “Zippy”. My current sorc, Jokirin, was named on a female roleplay character I had for a while. My barb is named “Bicep\_Boy”, for obvious reasons. ---

I go with a theme. Paladin : Weirddave Sorceror : Weirdwitch Barbarian: Weirdone Necro : Weirddead Amazon : Weirdwench Haven’t tried the new classes yet, but will prolly be Weirdbeast and Weirdwraith when I do. ---

Or, based on how the Assassin sounds when she gets hit, or when she dies, you should probably name her “Weirdslut”. And your Druid can go with “Weirdbore”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diablo-2-degenerate-expansion/71272.md?page=2)
