you make completely new characters with only perfect gear.

Its a private realm dedic ated to player vs player - you dont have any need to pvm because you are instantly lvl 99 and have access to any item in the game from the vendors. You put a dueler together in 5 minutes and then go prove your talent.

thats not true...some things you need to make yourself through the recipes.

you can gamble it from a vendor and then use a pskull or whatever.

Ugh...let me have a crack at it.
It's a privately ran server with about 5k members. They have mods/admins etc that you can report stuff to so it's securely ran.
It's dedicated mostly to Pvp, and anyone using third party programs/hacks/mods etc will be IP banned from the server.
You can create any of the d2 classes (all 7). You create a game, drink some potions that give the utility life/res bonuses and xxx amount of exp, then you kill a boss in a special portal and it adds the xp that you drunk from potions. (Free level 99 chars)
Theres a vendor for every class and a vendor for scs/gems/runes/jewels with gear etc in them.

its perfectly safe and wont get u banned

many people use it

google d2pk.click the first link. its on a website cruelsociety. follow the "how to work d2pk link on site"

only gripe i got with it is...you can't roll any decent hybrid sin stuff

Be a man and play a Ghost or Trapper.

Its the way diablo 2 should have been designed - one realm for pvp one for pvm. Sort of like guild wars.

thats tru

thats why i dont play d2pk as much as realms lol

it pisses me off all the sin claws u can get there dont have 3+ venom,3 + ls mods (unless u pay fg or realm money to get imports)
