I wish I had LLD on East back in the day.
I was always on West until like 09/10.
I started in like 2002 LLDing in pub games before LLD101. After LLD101 came around, I started making my first real LLDs.
Since I was on West, we always followed all the LLD101 rules, so I had an awesome lvl 29 Conc Barb as my first real LLD. The ones prior were terrible pub LLDs, such as lvl 34 WW Druid with that one 2 handed club.
I started to MLD heavily on West and in 2006 at the top MLD (my old barb). West quickly died after the second ladder reset and LLD/MLD were almost non-existent. I quit, sold everything, and eventually came back on East.
The hate and cliques in LLD is what poisoned D2. West was just full of elitists and actively sought to crap on new people. I eventually got tired of D2, since over the years I've made almost every single build and ran out of new things to create... plus most of my friends from West/East have all quit...
