Hello!
I'm looking for 2-7 people who are interested in playing a game of HU from scratch. We'll be using modified MonLvl TreasureClassEx and ItemRatio files to eliminate the need for grinding/farming so that by the time we clear an area, we should be ready for the next one. For example, by the time we've done the Den of Evil, we should be ready to make our way to the Cold Plains. By the time we've cleared the Cold Plains, we should be ready to fight Blood Raven. However, we won't be massively OP. The modifications are based on my play tests of various values, so that we'll have gear, but sets and uniques will still be rare.
If you're interested, respond in this thread or send me a PM!

Background info:
I downloaded HU and played for a few levels, and it seems really awesome. However, I was never really into the whole "grind" or "farm" part of D2. I played because I had a friend who let me use his alt account, so the grinding and such was something he did in his free time, and I just tagged along sometimes when he did quest runs.
So, I got an MPQ editor and did some reading on Phrozen Keep, and I've made some changes that increase drop rates and experience gained to the point that the game plays much faster. In about two hours I had completed the Den of Evil, killed every monster in the Cold Plains, and had made my way to Blood Raven. I was level 14, had a unique short bow, a set quilted armor, and rare rings/gloves/boots/ammy/helm.
Of course, because HU is meant for group play, Blood Raven slaughtered me.
I've made the leveling a little bit faster because I spent about 30 minutes longer in the Cold Plains just because I didn't have explosive arrow for a while.
