A forum post on Battle.net by Blizzard's GFrazier gives a status report on the upcoming version 1.10 patch for Diablo II (thanks Ant). Here's the deal: "We're making good progress toward the final release of Diablo II 1.10. It is now our highest priority. Thanks for your help testing the patch. Thanks for your patience in waiting for this patch. This is by far the largest patch we've ever made in terms of game changes. This is about 1/2 of an expansion worth of new content. As such it requires a lot of testing. Keep on battling."
