Do you know why Diablo 2 itself survived for 30+ years?
Because Pvp existed. You nerds farming all day to sell your trash to others who would use them for pvp.
Yes D2r was a thing to cash in on peoples nostalgia but you aren't seriously trying to say D2 was "alive" before D2R are you?
If we are truly being honest the population was total trash and just because a games servers are still up does not mean its not dead. 8 people playing PVP does not make for a thriving game, its not even on life support at that point, its just dead and that's what D2 was except maybe a few weeks at ladder reset time and those people are playing PVE.
I am a huge PVP supporter and wont play without it but I am not going to sit here and lie and say that Diablo stayed alive because of PVP. No it stayed alive because it was a zero investment from Blizzard, its population was horrible and the vast majority was just bots.
