So not sure whats happening, but they haven't had any news update since December, and there has been news which normally they would jump on, or random nothings to fill the air.

I looked around the forums for some answers and found this https://www.diabloii.net/forums/threads/am-i-missing-something-or-is-this-site-totally-dead.967062/

The community is moving here: https://www.purediablo.com/forums/ 

I see some things around 2 months ago people are going, and bringing over content, but its weird that its not publicised more.  Who knows what has happened or why, but it is the official moderators going across with the community.

Just in case you are still into that thing of course.

Somewhere in the 70s the old lady was setup so it was in the crimes act but if a women talked to 2 doctors and said it would affect her mental health she could get an abortion

Change is here now

Last year Halo Reach hit PC for the first time. Today Halo 1 remastered hits with little advance warning.  The roadmap is showing 6 more coming 2020.  Halo2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST and Halo4. 
I'm excited but waiting till at least Halo3 as I've played 1 and 2 back in the day.  I want a good run at them before I put down my money.

Microsoft is amazing and is basically the complete opposite of what they were like a bunch of years ago.

Putting in time, effort to get a classic series of games onto more platforms, into more peoples hands who could have but didn't play in the other walled gardens.  I hope there are other companies looking at this and thinking "this is how you do it" and not to do a "Warcraft 3"

I'd sort of heard talk of this game in the last few years, now you can buy it on early access.   I can see already at least 3 forumites have it, what is your experience with it so far?

Helps to fill the hype train with no idea of a release date or no D4 news in a while.

Here is a link to the old thread http://www.gamersoasis.net/backup/index.php?topic=17305.0 There was a post from 2010 and excitement picked up as patches at that time increased the rune drops.

Why, Why not?

Ok, really, with 1.13b, runes were made much more common. A "runeword grail" has been tossed around for some time but never as something that could seriously be accomplished. Now I believe it is a possibility and could hold the interest of those that are missing the feeling of finding just one high rune.

On to the formalities.

What's in a Runeword Grail?
78 Runewords. That's 24 from 1.09, 24 from 1.10, 23 from 1.10 RWM, and 7 from 1.11. These match what is reported in flavie and I'll include a full list below.

Anything else?
Please include the highest version you use for this. The previous post talked about "Forum accepted mods" but the majority of active users use PlugY.  Also civilization did not stop, none of use turned into lepers where our limbs fell off.  We are mature folk who play the game for fun.

Beyond that, lets call this open for comments for the moment. If there are any good suggestions (even something most like but I don't) lets get them added quickly so we all get started on the same foot.

So who is watching it?  I found the 5th episode a bit slow and didn't really seem to push the story along much compared to the others. I'm glad its not a 20 episode run at this point, but will be interesting to see where it ends up.

We all like quite different stuff, with a bit of crossover here and there.

Things I'm looking forward to in no particular order

Halo: Master Chief Collection.  So far i've only played 1 and 2, I read the story of 3 once, sounded great but that was years ago.
Serious Sam 4
Diablo4
New Half Life
Age of Empires 4
