Well, it seems like a lot of people kept their old d2 accounts-in case they ever wanted to come back to d2. I just don't think many actually WILL come back though.
So without many buyers, I think they will trend down...


Nice to see an actual response.

BTW: I've heard a lot of chatter about Tuesday...

Sorry for not having played D2 continuously for 9 years or remembering a login for a random site on the internet.

IMO

Since these items can't naturally drop in-game, they will remain fairly stable. They will reduce a little further in price though before settling, and potentially increase again a little.

Items which do drop, will plummet until a point where people would rather Charsi then sell, and then increase again a little.

Not going to explain why I think this is the case.

D2R playerbase will massively decrease within 6 months. Most players are new to D2 or are players who have returned due to nostalgia, 80% of them will be gone come summer. (Probably a long time before. January-February.) Out of the remaining 20%, 25% will return to D2. Splitting the playerbase 35-40:65-60, which is bad for both D2 and D2R.

At the moment, prices of non GZ items, such as perfect uniques are higher on EU non-ladder than ladder now. Non-ladder will get a reality check within a year.

That's my prediction anyways.


I agree with players dropping D2R, but I don't think that many will go back to old Diablo 2. For the most part, I bet the player base D2 lost to D2R is gone for good.

I don't ever anticipate going back to LOD unless they utterly destroy the game with a patch. And i'd probably just quit if they did. There's like no way many people are going back to it, many left to escape legacy item bs and get a fresh start feel. There's a huge amount of improvement even with the limited things they did that would make returning to LOD very difficult.

Highly unlikely people are going back to regular Lod. You can expect D2:R population to surge when ladder is finally announced.

Vouch would rather find another non blizzard game to sink my time into than go backwards. D2r still has potential but all depends on blizzard putting in some effort... -_-

Completely wrong ill elaborate.

Anything not GG or 08 ETC will drop to the point of being worthless, no increase in price; doesn't make any sense.

D2R Players will not go to back to D2, makes 0 sense.

Any 08/GG Items will "retain" value aka desperate people keeping prices high and maybe get one sale every 6 months.

The playerbase on og d2 was already astoundingly low, now its even worse and will only keep dying especially once ladder comes to D2R.

i fully agree, as an example i have some .08 boots on D2 i payed 11k for before D2r came out currently trying to sell them for 3.5k and haven't even had a low ball offer yet
these will prob get charsi'd very soon or expire. i feel sorry for those people holding on to .08 valks ect
i also think Blizzard has ALOT of work to do before they start ladder on D2R
