Even D2 requires online play through Battle.net.
Eh? Been a LONG time since I played D2 (years), did LAN play get patched out?
Nah it's still there. You can play open battle.net, closed battle.net, direct TCP/IP and so on.
IIRC, there was a Battle.net server where their characters are saved on there to avoid cheats and exploits. Blizzard should had done that and still offered OFFLINE single player, LAN, direct to other player setups, etc. But nooooooo Blizzard wants everyone to play on its server!
