frankly, i'm supprised this thread has gone thus far without further chastisement here by the lurkers.
Ebon should purchase an actual retail copy of the game.
it's not too much to ask, it is no more than is expected of everyone else.
and to play in any amazon basin game that i will be a part of - it is absolutely manditory.

I own the game. In fact, I own three copies of standard, and two of the expansion. I have it loaded on five computers. I have a couple of burned copies. I have it cracked on my notebook, because it's really not beneficial to run the game on the notebook with the cd-check, and the cd-rom takes more power away from the battery.
Now, just because I have the game cracked, does that mean I'm "cheating" or "not legit"? Especially when I can play the cracked version on B.Net (because it's a valid CD Key)?
By your standards? Sounds like a yes.
Dude owns D2. Has started playing LoD. Is planning to buy it. Wants to know if it's good to play on B.Net (more than likely to help in his purchasing decision). Where's the problem? Answer is that it is good to play on B.Net, yet like other games, there are a large number of cheaters. Easy answer, no need for the rudeness.
**Note, not meaning to be a dick, but this all seemed pretty cut an dry until that point***
Ebon, so you know, there are a lot of cheaters, but they are still by far the minority (for cheats that count). However, like with any game, the only way to play multi without cheaters is to set up a LAN, and that's usually not the best method. The game is well worth the cost to be able to play on B.Net. Adds another dimension to the game, and there's a lot you can't do in single/lan play that you can on Realms. Good luck with your playing.
**Edit: As a note, I won't use mods on D2, so Smoketest's response to my post will probably be better for you than mine. Also, I don't play b.net, as I have a LAN, and no lack of willing players. Also, rather than the battle chest, you can get just the expansion from walmart or fred myers for like either $19.99 or $9.99. Cheap cheap.
