It looks exactly the same as POD

PD2 is more exciting than vanilla. Refreshed uniques. Active trading on server even after 6 weeks after start. There are a lot things to improve though, some classes are overpowered while other nerfed. Also no more mass hammerdins, enigma is no longer gives tele.
Nice corruption and imbue system.
Don’t know about dupes, but there are some people with more than 40-50 high runes in stock, while I found maybe 5. They buy some craziest uniques like 4os 400%ed Windforces or 6os eth Grandfather/Cranium Basher

What are you talking about? Dupes had servers down constantly for like a week....

To answers OP question.. The mod is a joke, the servers always going down because the dev team doesn't know wtf there doing so they have to go manually thru each account to see if people have duped items. PD2 is also pointless unless you have a full team of people to run thru maps with. Plus the streamers have the unfair advantage over everyone because you weren't suppose to be able to trade items outside of PD2 forum but since people were duping apparently they're letting people use there stream to trade.

Runes can still be duped lol me and friends got banned for not even abusing their rules. They classified it as botting and up banned us.
Servers are the worst to any game in 2020.
They have half ass rules that they abuse themselves on a daily basis and get people to snitch on Jsp and rat them out then they get banned.

Better check Annihilus SoTR closed alpha if you want to see something real new. This mod has things that u've never seen in any other mods.
Also Median XL is one of the best - no hacks at all, great documentation and auction for trade, but its completely different game compared to vanilla.

Annihilus seems a promising mod

it's super fun so far and only been playing for the last hour.

pve yes
pvp no

pvm is fun, haven't tried PVP yet

There isn’t a single good diablo 2 private server
