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.

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).

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.

Adding a new printer to your network is easy. Connect the printer to the computer (or network device) you want and get it working so you can print a test page. Then, in Network Magic, on the Network Tasks page, click Add a Device to My Network. This forces Network Magic to discover the newly added printer and adds it to the Network Map. From the Network Map, you can select it and click Share Printer if you want other users in your network to be able to access it.

Most often, sharing access problems are related to firewall settings. Refer to the Knowledgebase article about firewall settings I have shared a folder, but it is not appearing in the Network Magic Shared Folders page on other computers in my network. The most common cause of the problem is Network Magic cannot communicate with the Network Magic software installed on the other computer. This can be caused by security software such as a firewall blocking the communication.

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.

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.

Matt Householder, Diablo II Producer, commented on how shared experience will work: "The total Experience for killing a monster is divided among the members of a party. Each member's share of the total is an amount proportional to the member's character level divided by the sum of all the character levels in the party. The member delivering the killing blow also gets a small percentage of additional Experience as a bonus to his/her share.

The Amazon Basin Diablo II community is strongly opposed to all non-consensual PK (Player Killing) activities, as these activities fundamentally conflict with the gameplay experience for which we strive. These activities also include hunting down and killing PK characters or chasing PKs from game to game (PKK).

Muling items between your own characters in a Basin game can distract others while you repeatedly enter/exit, or cause misunderstandings over whether your items are part of the collected drops. If you wish to transfer in an open AB game with characters not currently in the game, you are required to: Obtain explicit permission of all players already in the game before starting to transfer. Explicit permission is only given if every player in the game has actively said, "yes.

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.

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.

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.

For those shareholders that feel a full share of produce is too much food for them, they are welcome to initiate splitting a box with their friends, family or neighbors. We leave this responsibility almost entirely up to the shareholders and their box mates. How and when they split the produce is their individual decision. However, we require that we are informed who is sharing with whom.
