Ironman is a [[LotL]] play style some players choose to add challenge to the game. When playing Ironman style characters can not use any items they do not find themselves, repeat/replay areas, or buy items from [[NPCs]]. Ironman characters are generally [[hardcore]], and are forbidden to return to town or interact with NPCs in any way other than as required to complete progress-stopping quests. There is no [[twinking]] or [[muling]] or other such activities either, of course.
Ironman is often played in parties, where several friends begin at the same time, all with brand new characters, and see how far they can make it through the dungeons without dying, running out of equipment, etc.
This style of play enjoyed some popularity in Diablo I, where 3 players worked together cooperatively, each playing a different class. Items were traded freely between the party, with the {{iw|Rogue Rogue}} getting the best bows, the {{iw|Sorcerer Sorcerer}} the spellbooks and mana pots, the {{iw|Warrior Warrior}} the melee weapons and armor so he could tank, etc.
Cooperative Ironman play can be extremely powerful in Diablo 2, thanks to the complimentary skills and shared spell effects. A group of 8 players from Germany completed the entire game, including the {{iw|Pandemonium_Event Pandemonium Event}}, with naked, hardcore, LotL, Ironman characters, who additionally forbid themselves to use the most powerful minion summoning skills. Their character lists, techniques, and videos of the achievement [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/naked-ironman-hardcore-uber-tristram/ can be seen here].
