So I'm getting bored as hell lately and I've wondering if you guys want to bring back this mini-game in Diablo 2. Everything you need to know is below. Let me know if you guys want to join. Also, if you want the main rules of the mini-game, skip down to the In-Game Rules.
Summary:
Juggernaut (called Ironman sometimes) is a mini-game to play Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction at the absolute hardest difficulty. I am not going to lie, it is very hard, and if you die, it's over. You make a new account, so realm and ladder issues are a non issue. This requires no high level character before or any other time wasting nonsense before this. You just hop on board. However, the main idea of Juggernaut is not only to play the game at its hardest. The main idea is to make you use only what the game provides you, and to use it at its full extent. Please read the rules thoroughly and if you have any questions, please ask.

Juggernaut FAQ's:
Q: You call this ironman a lot, is that the same thing as juggernaut?
A: Ironman used to be the official name for this mini-game, but because people did not want to quest all the way, they made ironman a game where you level up until level 9, and duel. Juggernaut is now the old ironman, where you quest.
Q: On Jsp, ironman is when you level up until level 9, and duel. WTF?
A: Just like above, ironman USED to be questing, but because of time, people did not want to play it as much. So they just made it so you dueled at level 9.
Q: Will I need anything before playing this?
A: Besides the ability to make an account on Battle.net, you don't need anything before playing this.
Q: Will I need a lot of time for this?
A: Yes. You will need around 3-4 hours minimum unless we all drop dead at the Raven, which probably won't happen. So we will find a time which will work for everyone, usually being nighttime.
Q: I don't have Diablo 2: LoD! WTF?!?!?
A: If you still have your CD-Key, Blizzard let's you download their games off of www.battle.net Go on that site and put in your CD-key and down load the game. If you don't then that's too bad. No juggernaut for you!
Q: I came late on the day of the juggernaut. What do I do?
A: Due to the fact that the time has been up for a week and you signed up for it with plenty of time to ask me to move the time so you can participate in this event, if you miss it, you will have to sign up for the next week's run. We will not wait for you. If it says 7 pm PST, then it means that time. If you are late 15 minutes, that is reasonable. But anything beyond that is ridiculous.
Q: So it's the middle of the run, and I have to go. What happens?
A: It really depends. If we are killing everything in the Den of Evil, and you have to leave to Japan, we won't wait for you and just continue onward. However, if it is a in depth juggernaut and we have been playing for a while, we respect that real life comes first and the game second. We will stop for you, and arrange a time later.
Q: What happens if we don't finish the juggernaut run in one day?
A: An arrangement of time will be set that will fit all the surviving members to continue that run. We hope to finish all the runs we do, and not forget about them.
So let me know if you guys are interested. THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME, so keep that in mind. We would do it at a time where everyone is happy since I know a lot of people are busy.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
It doesn't make much of a difference when you are on the same continent, usually.
It is kind of funny how optimized networking is today. I can't play on US realms on D2 because of the delay, but I can barely feel it when I played LoL from Sweden, over to a server in the US, over to a EU server, back to the US, and back to Sweden.
The delay in the first case is over 500ms, in the latter is is around 250ms.
Ah I see. Dammit that really sucks. Any ideas anyone on how to fix this?

Timing is really a non-issue. We are probably going to play at night and that's morning in Europe.
K well we'll probably start from 7-9 Pacific. But we'll find a time that'll suit everyone.
What about weekends?
How about USEast?
Ah I see. Dammit that really sucks. Any ideas anyone on how to fix this?
