My head loves the whole idea of this game but the tendons in my hand scream NO!
Yeah, Diablo 2 definitely caused some pretty serious RSI for me.

Hi Creston,
Long time lurker on Bluesnews. I can't remember how many years, but I just created an account to answer your post - and to pass on important knowledge about RSI that I acquired the hard way.
I had RSI for 2 years, and last year it got so bad that I could no longer brush my teeth or shave. I was about to lose my job. Saw a bunch of doctors, had MRI and EMG tests done on my forearms, which showed nothing.
I found this guy's website which recommends a book by Dr. Sarno. The premise of the book is that RSI and other chronic injuries are psychosomatic. It's been 5 months, and the pain is completely gone.
I do 30 minutes of meditation twice a day now. The pain is not caused by using a mouse, the human body is much more resilient than that
It's caused by emotional issues. The mind simply latches on to minor injuries or soreness.
http://aaroniba.net/articles/tmp/how-i-cured-my-rsi-pain.htmlThis may sound far fetched at first, but if you really consider it with an open mind, you realize that it explains a lot of things.
Play Diablo 3 24x7 if you want, cheers
