PD2 is by far the best of all .. pretty much no bots, own trading website in PoE style, 10k+ players at ladder resets usually, new endgame bosses, endgame content actually playable with all classes .. no more smite only for uber trist but actually doable on every class. And its the good old diablo 2 we all like and love, no million changes, no stupid skill reworks that basically everything is new and completely trashed...
Tried path of diablo and median xl the 2 biggest after PD2 but they are (at least for me) trash as its basically a new game and I love the good old diablo 2.
If you want good graphics, you can play blizzless servers for D2R, its the first - and i think only - D2R private server so far, with smaller class changes and balancing changes but other than that pretty much vanilla diablo 2 as it is on blizzard servers - without those bots as they go active against botting - and the best part they officially allow d2jsp trading on their servers
There IS NLD for PvP? Or everything delete after the end of seasson
