If you are new to the Diablo series, I really think you guys should play AT LEAST D2 while you wait for D3. I really think it would enhance your knowledge about the game story-wise and gameplay-wise. I dont want haters to hate on D3 just because theyre new to the style of the game. Its probably gona be similar to D2. If you HATE (which is almost impossible) D2, please consider a second thought on getting D3 :/
I would love to play D2 again (I'm in no way new to it) however D2 doesn't work on my computer/screen size. I can play it in a tiny window, but that's no fun.
I do agree though, despite the graphics being very dated it's still an awesome game.

I thought of that and downloaded D2 with LoDxPack... I could not play more than 15 minutes..It was boring, skills are lame looking and it is way to old..
I'm not trying to hate, I'm sure there are people who would appreciate it way more than me. However, I have played the beta for d3 and find it fun and exciting.. I actually enjoy playing it.. In my case, it is night and day...I feel d2 is terrible due to being outdated. I think its just the quality of games I am used to now along with graphics...
If you really want to know more about Diablo I would also suggest picking up the books from Barnes and Noble or some other outlet. There's only a few of them and they're not pricey at all. I'm also sure you could pick them up from Amazon for fairly cheap as well. They're also fairly small books for the most part usually being around 300 pages if I remember correctly.
Having just finished off D2 and LoD the other day, I can say it wasn't the most helpfull thing in the world.
About a month or so ago, i read though bits of the wiki and the timeline on the official Diablo 3 website to get up to date with the story. Sadly, D2 has almost nothing to do with much of the content in the beta, since King Leoric was part of the story from before/during D1. Saying that, it was fun to play it again and certainly wasn't boring, but it's only made me even more hungry for playing D3 now!
If you just want to know about the story, check out the D3 website timeline, the wiki or ask some questions on the forums. If you want to slay some monsters in a game from the 90s, then get to spamming left click

There's a mod that lets you expand the window / use bigger resolutions. I don't know if I can post it here, but it's an easy google search away with the right keywords ;o

I tried the mod and only got a black screen, it just wont load. I have an M14x laptop with a 24" screen. Apparently the mod can get you banned as well. Something to do with having a unfair advantage seeing more of the world at a higher resolution or just breaking the EUA.

Play singleplayer or custom-realms.
