Context: I'm a classic player of all patches who wants a challenge.

I've always liked the idea of trying Diablo II mods, but everytime they say "we're different", it's the same crap again: overpowered runewords, crazy AoE skills, ridiculous power creep, and outright stupid "Quality of life" changes (like the dumbass PlugY idea of adding infinite character respecs).

So, thought I'd ask here. Are there any mods that actually retain the Classic D2 experience? No runewords, no crazy Enigma spells, etc.

Aha! Looks like I found the old Classic-only mods on Phrozen Keep in the downloads.

Has anyone tried any of those?

It's not really a game-changing mod, though. It's just 1.09 with some newer features.

so let me get this straight, you are a classic player but do not want the "classic" feel that most mods (I'm guessing pd2/pod) are offering

So you want "new" things but with the "classic" feel of d2? But with a little extra?

I may suggest Annihilus, their legacy server is a little more "Vanilla D2 with extra shit" but the actual hardcode changes to the game on their new (and constantly updated) mod are amazing. Imagine Median but not on RGB tribal tattoo steroids.

If you actually want Classic Classic, then yes, go to Diablo09.
