Yes. You can read the Forums and find plenty of information on our website, even without registering as a user. You will need to register in order to post in the Forums and to send private messages. But registering does not require any commitment from you, other than your willingness to observe our general guidelines for all community participation in the guild. "Membership" is neither required nor expected for people who want to be an active part of the Amazon Basin community.

The Amazon Basin is a community of people who share an interest in fair and respectful game play. The Amazon Basin arose around Diablo II and now consists of six independent guilds, each focusing on one game: Diablo II, Dark Age of Camelot, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Galaxies, Horizons and World of Warcraft. The community also has its General Forums that are not game-specific and can be found here. The Basin is entirely non-profit-driven.

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.

The Amazon Basin channel exists on three realms: US East, US West, and Europe. It is op theamazon-basin all three places. (That is, with a space between "op" and "theamazon-basin".)

While we often play in public games, people in the Basin frequently play in private games created by Amazon Basin community members using game names and passwords under our conventions. Our games are among the unique features of the Amazon Basin. Hallmarks of Amazon Basin games are honesty, cooperation, and item sharing. For a guide on Amazon Basin games (and a wealth of gameplay wisdom), read MagiMac's Guide to Amazon Basin Games.

Here are the Amazon Basin Games Rules. We like to think of them as commonsense guidelines for providing a friendly, cooperative gaming experience. Everyone is expected to abide by these principles, which we can and do enforce. If in doubt, ask an Amazon Basin Member about what they mean. And remember - do not distribute passwords to our games - doing so will have serious consequences! Return to FAQ Questions

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).

You don't need to know anything to surf our website, read the documents, or check out the Forums. But before you start posting, or before you begin playing with other Basiners, you should know what everyone in the community expects of others in the way of rudimentary good conduct. While we have very few "rules", we have a strong ethic of respect among people who participate in the Forums, the different game channels, and play with us.

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.

Amazon Basin games organized by members of the community and played under Amazon Basin conventions; and Personal messages through the messenger service available to all registered members of the community.

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.

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.

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.

Bless you for being so generous! Please understand, though, that donating items can cause some of the same problems as muling: distracting from game play, cause misunderstandings about drops, etc. Before you donate items, you should read our complete policy on donating items here.

In response to D.1631, DWP prepared plans for both stream and waterfowl habitat restoration to undo the damage of 50 years of diversions. Revised plans were finally approved by the State Water Board in late 1998, following public debate and comment. Stream Restoration Plan: Stream restoration relies primarily on maintaining flows that mimic the pattern of former natural flows. Most important are peak flows in the spring runoff period.
