Hi,
This sounds to me like you are talking about Single Player mode only, and if so, I would agree, it gets too easy after a while.
Other alternatives, if my conclusion is correct:
1) play Immortal Hero variants - each class has fairly simple equipment and spell restrictions, plus each character has only one life! Believe me, trying to go from dlvl 1 to 16 and killing Diablo without dying once, especially with the slight & logical restrictions, is challenging. For better or worse, this option allows you to stay in the Single Player framework (well, Pete described a solo-MP version of this, but I've not tried that).
Go here to read about IM: http://home.att.net/~dsf.glossary/immortal_hero.html
2) Play solo-MP - Diablo lets you play a Multi-player game by yourself, without even being hooked up to the internet. This gives you access to the 3 difficulty levels, plus because the monster density is higher, even the normal difficulty level is a little harder. Of course, you lose the convience of the game saves containing the total state of the game.
Here's the entry I wrote for the DSF Glossary about solo-MP:
"This refers to playing MP by yourself; this can even be done without being hooked up to the Internet by choosing among either the IPX, Modem, or Direct Cable Connection choices. However, note that using the Modem setting can interfere with incoming voice calls!! [I found out the hard way; my 80+ year-old mother was baffled (and not amused!) by that screeching sound she kept getting when she called me :) ]
So, if you want to use the modem setting, it's best to unplug the phone line from your modem first. Also, I believe for the IPX setting to work, you have to have some basic Windows networking modules loaded, even if you aren't hooked up to a LAN. Thus, the Direct Cable Connection seems to be the best choice, but many people use one of the other two."
So, if you have been playing only SP, there are ways to increase the difficulty without going to mods.
I was going to point out to not overlook the Dark mod ( http://www.thedark5.com/frames/mainframe.html ), but then I remembered, I think that requires Hellfire to be installed, which it sounds like you don't have. Still, if you can get your hands on Hellfire, The Dark is worth checking out.
