Okay, I lied a bit. Although explaining myself puts in me in danger of being crucified, but here goes nothing...
I never, ever, played the first Diablo. Not even a single bit. The second one I think I cleared first two Acts.
BUT! I have recently repurchased D2+LOD on BNet (since I lost my discs when moving around the world), and have the Annual Pass to WoW - thus receiving my copy of Diablo 3 upon launch.
I'd need to download and start playing D2, but unfortunately there is not enough hours in the day for that at the moment, and I fear that my old, yet beloved, laptop won't be able to handle D3 so I need to buy new one in near future.
Welcome! It's never too late to start playing a great game such as Diablo 2! My Diablo career also started with Diablo 2, but I'd say I've made up for the "time lost" not playing Diablo 1 with my excess D2 playtime ;)!
Hope you get up and running soon anyway. Welcome again!
I haven't touched B.net Diablo II in a long time, these days only picking it up to Single Player it out. Still have love for the game. Will be looking forward to seeing you in-game come D3 time.
Thanks for the warm welcome, and greetings to both Finland and Sweden - two of the countries I've lived in the past for quite some time
And sure it ain't late, pretty much the same thing happened with Warcraft franchise: started with and cleared WC2 and little with Beyond the Dark Portal but never finished it IIRC. First one I tried a bit but as I was already playing WC3+TFT, I didn't bother that much. But great games altogether.

But going to lurk around anyways.
