diablo.phx.pl, there was an article about M2007, I played it for a bit and after a short period of time(couple weeks I think) M2008 came out(beta version maybe? but it was available for everyone to download, or perhaps I'm confusing it with the 2008 to 2012 transition, it's been a while and my memory isn't that great).

It was when I was on my freshmen year on college, I got interested when I read paladin alignment skill so I start to download Median, I think the first version I play was version v6d. But since I dont know at that time that running reduce your defense, I never completed even the Hatred Den of Evil quest(damn you Albrecht and your skeleton) therefore I uninstalled whole DIablo 2 on my laptop. When version v7 was released, I once again give it a try and reading forum, the FAQ as well the LFAQ then I know that you would only need only to walking instead of running, and I'm feeling so dumb at all those time I died on Den of Evil quest.

Take it down a notch... he was 12, understandably retarded.

I remember, on the very first official forum, there was one kid he was 13 or 14 and was constantly reminding people in a nagging way, that he might be 14 be he is mature as a 30 year old. Yet he was acting like a little tard and had some pokemon avatar. Then there was the famous blue text. The forum was basically 80% of sarcasm and remarks.

Heard about it in 2009. Local metal head forum had a section for random art related topics. During 2006 a topic named "yoru favourite game" apeared. Most of the time two dudes discused the hardware stuff and their graphics cards. But later the games came and during begining of 2009 someone mentioned Diablo 2 and three mods - Median, Eastern sun and Blazing fire. At that time i had no idea about d2se so i downloaded median as an experiment. Played throw barbarian for few weeks, got beaten pretty hard, failed and gave up for few years i believe. Went playing other games for long time and during some random occasion i saw median videos on youtube again. Found old forums, installed d2se and happing slashing since then.

First median video i saw:

It must've been somewhere around 2006.

It was then when I first tried out mods. I remember that I got my hands on a really early version, but since I failed to get through act 3 hatred because I was trying to do the stat challenges (right from level 1 on. So yeah... that was my own stupidity :D And I was playing a SoR barb), I stopped and tried out Zephyrus mod. I kept playing this one. Around the time Alex (the modder of Zephyrus) stopped working on the mod, Median 2008 released on D2Maniacs. And that's when I was able to play with some vets who explained the game to me and showed me around.
