Effect of server side play in reducing immediacy of combat. This turned out to be one of the worst changes from D1. I recall arguing strongly in favor of the server side model before D2 came out, unlike say Pete and maybe Jarulf and others.

Was Pete even around here back then before the game came out? I dont recall any of his posts until around the time of the LOD beta. Of course I could be, and most likely, am wrong. :P
