Hey Zalc,
Congrats on the little one. You're probably not going to have a whole lot of D2 time for a while. On the bright side, you'll get a chance to test your sleep depravation threshold and discover the wonders of caffine. Luckily, Clara will be in pre-school by the time we get a ladder reset.
I wish they would get it over with already. I have all this piled up gear to boost some of my off ladder characters, but it's just collecting dust. I'm looking forward to playing them again. In fact, since I was successful in building my Uber Druid, I am now remaking my Necro as a Fishymancer that should be Uber capable. My old necro was a PvM Summon/Bone hybrid that was exploiting the Marrowwalk bug. He, needless to say, was crippled by the fix. He's still viable, but he's too slow and thus not much fun.
