After playing my char to lvl 12 in the recent D2 stress test, here are my
findings:
1. The game in stress test is easy, far too easy. Even my newbie char can
clear all the dungeon with ease, solve both quests and kill all the bosses.
I believe the retailed version will be much tougher.
2. The game is far too easy, and this make teaming a redundant choice.
Most of the players I've teamed with so far (with the intention to enjoy
team work) end up with 2 outcomes:
There isn't enough xp/items/mobs/bosses to be shared among us.
Pker(s) reveal his true color in the hunting ground and the game turn to a
predator vs prey game.

Now I do understand pvp is part of the game, like UO, period. But I
believe players shld also be given the rights to decide if they wanna play
a pvp+ or pvp- games, like in EQ. Unfortunately D2 do not support this
concept. As a matter of fact, even UO now recognise the need and demand of
pvp- gameplay and that's why the recent huge patch has divide UO world into
2, a pvp+ world and a pvp- world.

Since this concept is not implemented in D2, I guess we can still make it
comes true. What I'm suggesting now is to form an Singapore D2
organization, (guild, clan, whatever you call it). The objective is
simple:

1. For those who don't wanna play under the fear of been pk'd, or enjoy
cooperative games, this organization will provide you with trust-worthy
companions which you can hunt safely under a cooperation mode.
2. For those who enjoy pk, to ensure you dun get to pk our own pple, and
you can find some trust-worthy companions which will fight on ya side
(instead of group with one unknown player to pk others, and when only 2 of
you are left in the game, he turn his blade and stuck it into ya back?).
3. For those who wanna enjoy both #1 and #2, we provide you will
trust-worthy companions for cooperative mode, either for mobs hunt or pk
hunt ;)

As for the guildname, I'm opened to suggestion, subject to one condition,
the name must be easily identified as a S'pore guild so we won't end up
with a situation fighting our own pple ;)

So anyone interested?

P/S: This guild for Blizzard client/server b.net mode only (ie chars saved
in Blizzard server to avoid cheating) and it's not a hard-core guild (ie
not the die once die forever mode, I believe someone already set a
hard-core guild out there for those interested).
