Welcome to

Hello, one and all! This is essentially my first attempt at making any website at all, and i created this website to learn more about HTML and to provide Diablo players with some information that i have written or collated from sources all over the web. The site is still under construction and some links may not work.

Some little bits about myself first before i go into the contents outline. Basically my real name is Qingwei, 18 years of age and hailing all the way from Singapore. Since late 1997, i have played Diablo and loved it very much even now... Few games i have played have lasted me so long and i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Diablo II. "Ice(BNR)" is the name of my first variant character (and my favourite too) and the nick i used on Diablo forums as well. Why i chose it i have no idea but it coincidentally matched my e-mail address too.

As i am still gradually learning more and more about html and such everyday, i will be updating this site constantly, adding new strategies, variants while at the same time changing some outdated stuff.

09 Apr	added a link to my Might and Magic VIII site
09 Dec	revamped the site, revised my guide to barbarians, updated the links page.
20 May	begun this site out of interest ... ...

The site begins first with a small profile of Ice. It includes my Evolution from a total newbie to the game to what i am now, my Cast of Characters as well as my stand on Cheating.

Strategy Guides
The next section is my very own Strategy Section. It contains various articles that i have written since last year concerning various aspects of Diablo. At the moment, guides to all six Diablo and Hellfire classes are available; as well as a guide to choosing weapons, melee weapon analysis (by class) and a ranged weapon analysis.

After that comes Guides from Afar. This section contains some valuable information from various authors around the world. The articles include Armin's Spellcraft 101, Bolty's High-Level Warrior Strategy Guide, Charis' Hell 101 and finally Dr Disaster's Teleflash Strategy, which i hold with very high regards.

Variants and Roles
Variants and Roles is next on the list. It contains information on the several variants such as amazons - the versatile rogue-warrior; muscle mages - the mages who only melees; and savages - a bunch of primitive men. In addition, some of my favourite rogue variants are also available: beyond naked rogues, elemental sorceresses, fairies, nightshadows and valkyries.

Lastly, i would like to welcome all to Ice's Diablo and Hellfire forum. It is a forum where you can ask any questions (except for cheats since i advocate legitimacy) about any aspects about Diablo and i will try my best to answer them. The Links page is about ready as well and you might want to check out other fantastic sites that i know of.

Finally, kindly sign my guestbook (view my guestbook too)... and give any comments/feedback that you might have concerning the site. If you want, you can e-mail me too. Thank you to everyone who has helped me set up this site in one way or another.
