I just started playing Diablo 2 again, after about 2 years of only playing WoW and CoH. I seem to recall that life is supposed to regenerate the same way mana does. So, why is my life not regenerating but my mana is? Am I incorrect? Or was this a glitch that I’m forgetting about? I just downloaded the only patch I could find and it didn’t change anything. By the way, I am not playing on [battle.net](http://battle.net). Just a simple game, with little old me. And yes, I do have the expansion. ---

Gah - never mind. I just figured it out for myself. When in doubt, it always helps to actually open the manual. :smack: For those of you who are wondering, no - it doesn’t. ---

Ahhh… The beauty that is _Diablo 2_. Many a long hour was spent halting the evil of Baal. Godspeed! ---

[QUOTE=Sateryn76] I truly believe that Diablo II was the finest PC game ever made… [/QUOTE] I think Diablo I was a lot darker/scarier, but when it comes to the variety of the characters, items, and the fact that online play was free I agree with you on that. I wonder if they’ll be coming out with a Diablo III. ---

Hellgate is similar in concept. Titan Quest is similar in execution. There’s free trials for both that are pretty easily found. ---
