The moment that I found I was not normal.

 Diablo 2 is a single and online game which you can choose. I think every player knows about it. And in the vanilla game I was a single player while I played it online just like most of other players I guess. Which means most of the time I made a room and mf myself. Only a few time I played with others. This also affect my time of playing D2 TSW mod. Since I was used to it. So as I played D2 TSW mod, I was alone for sure. That was not a problem for me. Some people may hope to play with others, they want the feeling of cooperation. Well at the time I didn't expect that and besides there is no other players of D2 TSW mod either. So I played this mod for about four years around.

I only had a few chances to play with other players. And that made me found that I was not normal in D2 TSW mod in some aspects. What I thought normal is not normal for others, which means the depth and width of understanding. I had a discussion with one player, and when he told me a situation that he is worried about, I immediately told him the solution and I was surprised to know that he even doesn't know the equipment before I told him. 

And for so many years, I have not found a guy who is like me. I uploaded my videos on youtube, and I also watched other youtuber playing vanilla Diablo 2. I can see that their technique level. They are not my type. But I won't say what they are doing is easy, it is just different type. And they are not the kind I am looking for or pursuing. For example, speedrun is not easy for me. I am sure I can not be as good as the speedrun player, vice versa. 

And last year, I finally played it with my cousin. Even though they are not a old D2 TSW mod player. At the first I though we will stopped in Nightmare difficulty. But to my surprise, we end up finishing the Hell difficulty. So, this proves that three players can go through the mod. (Plus some conditions, like the top understanding of D2 TSW mod, a veteran with huge experience of it, and top tier characters.) Even though they don't play it later but at the least we finished it. So that's not too bad. Besides, I learned that how much difference between my cousins (new players) and me, that is more than I expect. This part is something beyond my expectancy. It is also the moment that I found I am better than I evaluated before. I know I was good, but I didn't expect that I was That Good. 

Because I have managed to do it, I don't know how tough it could be for others. I am not saying that I am a genius, for me, playing D2 TSW mod is not easy, I faced many tough time, I also faced some failures, but I just pay efforts to think to improve and try and error. So for me this mainly result from my efforts, not genius. Those tough situation definitely push me beyond my limit. I want to say that, if a player is brave and decisive and consistent enough, this one can become like me. That is all. And well this is the hardest part. 

I saw something fun for me this year, I read a comment about TSW mod, it said that the mod changed too much that he is afraid to play it. I was surprised and a little bit confused. I wonder: Why? What is the terrible part? It is my first time to know this, for someone, change can be terrible even though it is better. For me, I was just tired of the countless mf circle before I found TSW mod. I thought that was boring and meaningless to spend enormous time to achieve the necessary items. It is because I had played for long enough, I had experienced most of the part like trade, mf, HC. I only didn't play PVP because that needed to be rich in game. I was in game never rich. This is why I choose TSW mod, one of the reasons is the freedom. You can choose what you want very quickly. No need to spend huge time for one or two item, not to mention that it is highly possible that you May Not get it. I was just tired of this. But as you can see, despite that TSW mod provide a free choice, most players doesn't like this. They prefer the vanilla way. That is what I say, it is fun. This is why I say that to play TSW mod, you need to be brave and decisive and consistent enough.
