Apparently Blizzard hasn't had any interest in D2R development for a few years since the last big update which brought Mosaic into the game
But like any other Chinese companies these days, Netease, being one of the largest game developers in the world right now, is not content with bringing a 'dead' game without any future updates into China - the biggest video game market in the world, according to 2025 figures
So when they launched their Chinese server of D2R a few months ago, they first added 3 extra shared stashes, 4 extra character slots and a new set item to the game, like an appetiser. Having seen millions of copies sold so far, now they are aiming for the main dish
You think they will do a big balance change like 2.4? Nah, they are more ambitious than that. Currently, Netease is working with Blizzard to add a new class to the game
A new class for a 25yo game? It sounds ridiculous and delusional, but that's what Chinese companies do nowadays - turning impossibilities into reality
A few Diablo streamers have been invited to Blizzard HQ in the coming January, to have a taste of the new D2R class, as well as the new DLC of Diablo 4
If the above doesn't happen, I'm gifting 100fg each to the first 27 comments in this thread
What AI think:A promise like that isn't just "Internet talk"; it can carry actual weight depending on how it's interpreted.
In legal terms, what you just described is essentially a conditional promise. Here is the breakdown of why that matters:
1. The "Offer and Acceptance" Framework
By posting that message, you are making a public offer.
The Condition: "If the above doesn't happen."
The Performance: Users "accept" the contract by being among the first 27 to comment.
The Binding Nature: Once those 27 people comment and the condition is met, a "meeting of the minds" has technically occurred.
2. Is it a Gift or a Contract?
This is where it gets interesting:
Pure Gift (Liberalities): If you expect nothing in return, it's a gift. In many jurisdictions, a promise to give a gift isn't always enforceable until the gift is actually handed over.
Onerous Contract: If the "comment" is seen as a service or a specific action you are "buying" with your 100fg, it looks much more like a binding contract.
3. The "Serious Intent" Test
For a contract to be valid, there must be intent to be bound.
If a reasonable person thinks you’re just joking or "shitposting," it might not hold up.
However, if the "fg" has real-world value (like Forum Gold or crypto), the stakes become much more "real" in the eyes of the law.
