You posted in Nevius's thread and you are on my f-list. Try not to give up on us just yet. I can relate to you just wanting to play. But it's only two days into ladder and we all have our own problems/wants/desires.
Starting out last night was a bit rough for me as well. I logged in and 6 of the people from the forum thread were on. At first I thought it was great. However, it wasn't. 3 no longer had me on their f-list and completely ignored me. The other 3, were 30+ levels higher than me and on the verge of completing nightmare which I hadn't even started yet. When I went to bed, we were all the same level. But where I had to get up and go to work for 8 hours, they got to stay home and play. They wanted to continue to nm-baal. I wanted/needed to get to act5-nm in order to catch up. Basically, for the first hour I was on last night, I had to find open games to get myself to act4-nm. Luckily, when I hit act4-nm, another that was in the same boat I was in logged on. I hooked up with him and we were able to run all of nm in an open 8 player game. And once we hit act5-nm, we were able to hook up with the others that were 30 levels higher than us for nm-baaling.
I'll most likely be in the same boat again when I get off work tonight. I'll be starting hell and they'll be hell baaling. But this won't be as bad as last night as we are all in hell.
Anyway, I believe you asked me for help last night and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance. I had my own issues to deal with in the short time you were on and I hope you understand. Look me up tonight and I'll try to help you out.
