I understand that mearly posing this question is probably going to result in a thread lock, but my argument is solid, and I think most reasonable people would agree with my conclusion.
Median XL is a single player diablo 2 mod that enhances an already great game.

GamePlanet: Have you guys ever played any of the mods that you get for Diablo II, the likes of the Median XL mod? Have you heard of that?
Kevin Martens: Oh yeah, I played that like crazy! I love it!
GamePlanet: So have you taken any sort of inspiration from some of the changes he has made at all?
Kevin Martens: You bet! It kinda hit us a few months back, people started playing a lot of it and brought it in and we took a look at it. There's some things that people have done with that game that I think are exemplary. He's done an awesome job actually of monster placement and creating combat scenarios where monsters tend to 'bleed in' from the outside, and take a combat situation that at first seemed like it was something you could handle, and then suddenly grows into something that is way out of hand! And it creates these really awesome moments. He came up with some really novel monster abilities and skills and stuff. It's a terrific example of a mod.
A lot of people will look at Diablo changes that we make sometimes and say "if you do that you'll ruin the game!", and then here's an example of somebody who's changed almost everything about Diablo II, but somehow preserved the game, you know, it still feels a lot like Diablo II! Even though lots of things have changed, including the health system -- things that are like, totally taboo, don't change that or it's over! And yet they did it. So that's a terrific example of exactly the kinds of forward thinking that we like. I don't know how he got half that stuff in there! In fact I went back and I asked one of the original artists on the game, how did he do that?! And they were like, I don't know! (laughs)
As stated before, this is a mod, not a cheat or hack, it is single player only, and the mod content is incompatible with vanilla d2 content.
Now, jsp has rules that say mods and "3rd party" programs cannot be discussed, IMO this rule should not apply to this particular topic, just like how it is not enforced in the minecraft forums when people make topics about modded minecraft.
Or how I am certain in the WoW forum there are threads about addons.
With all this information, I submit that JSP should alow topic discussions for diablo 2 median XL.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
