Diablo II Patches [Aug 01, 2005, 3:52 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Diablo II version 1.11
is now available for Blizzard's
action/RPG (thanks
DiabloII.Net). The update, which can be acquired automatically, closes exploits,
addresses bugs, and even adds new content, so as a result, the Battle.Net realms
are currently temporarily down. The
patch notes outline
all that's changed, and the various manual downloads are now available from the
Blizzard Entertainment
Technical Support Site (thanks Frans).

That's all guild wars is, cause it certainly aint a MMORPG

If you still play D2, and don't have the expansion, then absolutely get it. If you haven't played D2 in a long time, and you're just looking to get into it again, then maybe not. Mainly because you have to get through acts I-IV before the new one, V. The classes and items they added are pretty awesome though.
I really enjoyed the expansion, so I'd say yes.
While I still have my Diablo 2 Collectors Edition (With D20 rules so you too can play Diablo 2 in AD&D!!), I never did purchase the expansion. Is the expansion worth it? I've read they added runes and 2 other classes, but in the end would it be worth shelling out the money for?

That never gets old!!!
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
... evokes that old joke?
Not by me! 
"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
Actually when the game first game out...the graphics were considered quite good:)
Diablo 2 was 640x480. The expansion brought it to 800x600. Still butt ugly, anyway you slice it.
Sure, good graphics don't matter quite as much as good gameplay, but they shouldn't be mutually exclusive, either.

I for one am glad there are simple click games like D2 available. Do you seriously think a beginner gamer wanting to check out PC gaming will be encouraged if they pick up a hot selling PC game like BF2 (and cannot get it to work as designed because of bugs), or Doom 3 (and cannot get it to run properly because of high hardware requirements)?
I am glad D2 was around. Got my wife in to gaming. Now she has moved on to Guild Wars. Will be introducing her to FPS gaming soon enough.
You cannot make anything fool-proof. The fools are too inventive

its 800x600
I'll be honest and say I picked up Diablo and started playing it again. It really just is plain and simple fun.
Actually I did the same late last year. I bought D2 when it first came out, but never did get around to finishing it until last year.

It's still definitely an excellent online RPG for people w/low end machines, work being one of them.
Ahem... no comment. (My boss might be reading these forums...)

Precisely. It's uncomplicated, straight-forward, and relaxing, requiring no more thought than "click on goblin; watch goblin explode; repeat."
When you blow away all the fluff, Diablo is really nothing more than solitaire with a sword. Which is why it remains so popular: it's pure escapism.

Really really want Diablo III now though.

I can see a lot of people with laptops wanting a nice game to run on their 3D-challenged machines. And really, there are only so many hack and slash RPG's out there for PC, Diablo II being (arguably) still the best.
