Don't get me wrong, the game was more than great and fulfilled all my expectations for a very long time. I'm not sure, but I've always felt there the game could have been much more! I felt the additions of Runes and all the stuff in the expansion (and patch 1.1) was a sad attempt to breathe life back into this game, which was desperately in need of an expansion - to explore new lands! I think I had the most fun with D2 between patch 1.04 and 1.06 - the balance was just right about then.

Yah, they could've done so much better on version 10/11 patches, but they just started throwing all kinds of insanely powerful new items out, making old ones obsolete, then making it impossible to even get the old ones because your characters arent strong enough to get them....vicious cycle....game balance in both pvm and pvp are totally FUBAR; a 5 year old can do a better job at balancing than what is in now, and not to mention still unfixed bugs. Bnet gets a C for effort and an F for the practical.
I mean seriously, 600% edam weapons? +2 all skill +tele all classes armor? people teleporting 3-4 times a second? 12k+ damage on a spell that spins around the user, can hit multiple targets, and is resisted by almost nothing? People running around with a half a dozen auras, oak sage, cold armor, and war cries in grizzly form on all at the same time on one character? Next we'll get a charm that turns us into a supersaiyan with +20 kamehameha. Oh wait, we already have that. It's called hellfire torch.
