Most have said lag's there but not an issue (likely due to LoD), there's that reading thing again... you really should work on it. It's never too late.
Lag's a big issue for classic players and a damn good reason not to buy D3 when it comes out.

I didn't say it was lagless, I said it was so easy you're less likely to notice small spats of lag. Try reading. While you're at it, read the forum title and notice how it covers this topic? Wow, reading really IS fundamental!Originally posted by: CottonRabbit
Edit: read that wrong
Well, since everyone here plays lagless LOD as you say, you should probably try posing this question to a D2 classic forum or get LOD.
Unless the game being easy means I'm playing drunk or similarly impaired, that makes no sense at all. Not to mention you can easily make LOD hard depending on how you want to play.
Everyone here has said lag on bnet isn't a big issue. So if you want possible solutions or receptive ears for your complaints, this isn't the place. That's all I suggested.

Also, just an FYI for those currently playing D2... now is not the time to be botting or using whatever maphacks and other tools.

"Warden," which is the program they run to detect and ban for all sorts of hacks and such, has been off this entire ladder season. In other words, free for all. That's no longer the case. Warden has been responsible for the past couple of years' mass bans. It was turned back on a few days ago, which isn't good news for people running 3rd party programs.
Thankfully, I've been so busy with other games, I haven't played D2 in weeks.

Definitely not. I think the issue is most of you play LOD, where you can basically get 99 in a day without knowing a thing about builds or anything.

Source?
yeah, last i read they were still "thinking about it" but didn't outright say it was going to be definite.
as far as i had read, they really weren't sure what business model they were going to use (ads vs pay2play vs whatever else...)

So Julian Wilson told us that you guys are looking monetize Battle.Net in some way. Is that right?
Wow, that's an evil way of putting it. Julian's turning into a business guy on me. Here's the way I would put it. We're definitely not looking at turning Diablo into a subscription based game. It's clearly not an MMO, so it's not appropriate to do a business model like that. The way we approach all of our games now, is we come up with what we think is a great game, and then we wrap the appropriate business model around it. If that's just a box price, then that's that.
With Battle.Net we're definitely looking at possible different features that we might be able to do for additional money. We're not talking about Hellgate or anything like that. We're not going to tack things on. I think World of Warcraft is a great example to look at. We charge people if they want to switch servers or if they want name changes, things that aren't core to the game experience, they're really just optional things that some people want. It takes us some development work to do it, so it makes sense to charge for it. We would never do something like say to get the full game experience, you'll have to pay extra.

We have identified and closed over 350,000 StarCraft and Diablo II accounts which were found to be using third-party hacks."
bunch of people including a lot of my friends and one of my accounts got nuked. a whole lot of jsp users got nuked. my druid acct is still strangely alive though.

don't say I didn't tell you so!
edit: apparently they also banned D2Loader, which means I can officially quit this godforsaken game.
