I have not been playing Diablo 2 now for about 3 years and I'm now in a 6 month half way home trying to stay clean and one of the things that I think will help me is playing these games again but I won't be able to start playing either until about may. I'm just deciding if I should start off with Diablo 2 or 3, what I like about Diablo 2 was the pvp and I never played the third one or seen it played? Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks.

Diablo 2 is a dead economy atm, but if you're planning on playing just for fun.. go right ahead some stuff has changed, you should read patch notes!
Diablo 3 will be fun as well, you can play the beta if you get a key, or rent one here if you get some FG : http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=68

However, your question belongs here (for the most part): http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=21
