I'm having a lot of trouble here because hardly any gold drops. Is it really supposed to be that way?

Not sure, it's been a while since I've played the meridian mod for D2.  I'll fart around with it some tomorrow (YAY NO F'N WORK) and let  you know.

It's crazy, I'm barely getting enough gold to repair my gear and only occasionally do I actually have enough gold to buy identify spells or potions.

Yeaaaaaah just spent half an hour and wtf the early game seems unplayable.  I mean, I can't even get enough money through selling drops to buy ID scrolls for shit.  Not sure what's going on here.

alright nerds, what's the D2 equivalent to the barb? I'm definitely rolling a melee character when I get the game

oh and you can do more than one attack right? I'm guessing primary and secondary attacks

The D2 equivalent to the Barb is... the Barb.  It's the only class that carried over. :P

Yup, primary/secondary.

Seriously, there's got to be something wrong here.

It's tough early on, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it [skeleton archer with freezing attack in the Den of Evil can DIAF though].

Yeah, I started an Assassin last night on Median but kind of lost interest in it after I had like 5 unidentified items and a grand total of 64 gold from selling drops.  I also have a Sorceress that's about level 10 that I started last week and already has a decent bankroll plus Cain after saving him, so maybe I'll just play her. :P

In retrospect and after playing some D2 again, I do have to say that I really like D3's skill system better.  You kind of have to know what you're doing in D2 and decide on a specific build (ice sorceress, etc) early or just leave your skill points unspent.  Everybody crying about lack skill trees in D3 is a masochist imo.

While I usually end up spending stat points in the same ratio as D3 doles them out, I like that D2 was (or maybe just felt) less gear dependent, tho.

At least in MeridianXL you can get decent loot drops and not have to resort to an auction house. :smug

Or just hack in the gear you want when you get frustrated because you're playing offline. :shh
