Half the people writting in this topic are either under 10 or have no understanding how the world works. D2 is a dead game. Blizzard doesn t make money with this game lol. Haven t in a long time. This game is kept alive because it still has a strong small community but foremost because:

1. Brand identity - you don t wanna kill OG hack & slash, that would hurt the company image and costs you nothing 2 maintain
2. Compared 2 nowadays software D2 needs little to nothing technology. Servers for D2 are literally what some of us have in our garage.... cost most to nothing to maintain for Blizzard/Activision
3. Business wise it mames no sense to do a D2 remaster unless they wanted to move it to bnet app, for which they d have to change some things but probably not graphics. Unless they know D4 doesn t come out earlier than 2 years. But I think that was supposed to be D Immortal s job to keep us busy.
4. There are rumors that the classic games are where some of the junior devs/ junior employees get some of their initiation and starting experience

Together with point 3 and 4 it might be that some juniors are currently playing with the D2 servers.

You guys need to start enjoying life and be happy about rhe fact this game is still up and running, that we had a D3 which wasn t perfect but wasn t shit and that we'll have a D4. Look now to each their own but the faster you will accept the world and everything in it changes and evolves now faster than eve, the better you will be to accept and adapt to these changes and enjoy what you have or find something else to put yur energy in.

Peace out ladies & gents

This isn't a conspiracy though.

This game is Blizzard's cash cow and it has always been.

It's been fed a diet of crappy programmers and antiquated sever hardware ever since it's release.

They could probably limit players to one game a day while adding an in-game command to dupe an item and people would still buy copies of it 20 years from now.

If they cared about the players, they would have fixed the game a few weeks after release after the very first game-breaking exploit (gamble hack) was distributed.

I don't know why people give this company their money these days, I certainly don't.

4 guys in the same game, around 20minutes each. Europe no ladder.

Botters are getting banned? Or just vpn proxxys?

From what I can tell after reading d2jsp and blizzard forum posts, botters are not getting banned.
Botters are adjusting the timing of their scripts to match the tweaks that blizzard is doing for flagging them.
The gamers who are suffering the most are the legits.

Personally, I do not mind bots. What I mind is that the legits are suffering due to Blizzard's implemented bot control. Sigh.
