After reading this whole thread, I can't help but ask: Why not play single player?
It seems to offer everything you could want in a game. You get to play in pseudo 8-player games, so you get all the experience you want. There's nobody else to beg you to party, so you get to go it solo. Furthermore, you can play whatever version you like (1.06 classic if that's what floats your boat), and you wont even have to deal with lag.
I find single player to be the ideal solution to obnoxious brats on the realms. I don't play on the realms at all, I just dont see the point because it offers precisely nothing to me. And I can still multiplay with friends who feel the same way, as Diablo 2 has TCP/IP play.
So I'm curious, if you don't want to party and don't want to deal with leeches and other annoyances, why not play the game in single player mode?
