Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of language is appropriate in Amazon Basin games?

D2 Home
The Amazon Basin believes that language used in our games should be acceptable to people of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, racist, bigoted language is not tolerated in our games. Likewise, we frown on swearing and other vulgar language. And we ask that you be careful about the slang you use. For example, don't call things "gay" or say that you'll "rape" Andariel. This type of language is extremely disrespectful and inappropriate for our community.

Can I cheese my characters in Amazon Basin games?

D2 Home
No. If you and a friend want to cheese a character, you should make a private game. Cheesing involves killing act bosses, which will spoil the quests for anyone else in the game. Don't use hostile, hateful, or offensive language (see the guidelines on this subject for the Forums and the Channel).

We mean you should not use any hacks, and no cheats, such as Maphack and other software not approved by Blizzard. The Diablo II community recognizes that while our forums, channels, and games are not used for trading, many members enjoy trading with other individuals, both inside and outside of the Basin environment. In keeping with our overall concerns for maintaining a fair environment within the Basin and our desire to uphold our reputation for fairness within the general battle.

How does item sharing work in Amazon Basin games?

D2 Home
Unlike public games where players rush to grab and keep prized items, everyone in an Amazon Basin party shares in whatever the group recovers. All valuable items are left in town for everyone to see. Decisions on who gets what are left to the group, typically at the end of the game. So if you join an active Amazon Basin game, you are likely to find a pile of loot lying on the ground in town.

What is the difference between a Community Member and an Amazon Basin Member?

The Amazon Basin - A Community of Friends Playing Games
Community Members are those people who have found us and registered for our forums. Anyone who isn't an Amazon Basin Member is a Community Member. Since we've got semi-private 'guild' stuff to take care of behind the scenes, we can't just give everyone full access. That being said, the difference is mostly that some CMs who've become regular contributors to our community as well as exhibited the traits we value have been voted into the guild 'officially' and now carry the ABM title.

What is that Amazon Basin Nation project you were referring to in the previous question?

The Amazon Basin - A Community of Friends Playing Games
Currently all guilds possess their own separate sets of forums. The newer guilds have redirecting forums linking to the Main Boards, such as Completely Off Topic and Picture Pages. Older guilds, like Diablo II for example, do not have redirecting links and have their own non-game-specific forums. The idea is to meld all the forums together and have common subscriptions. This would spread traffic among the guilds and let people see new faces as well as ease the managing of newer guilds.
