I'd assume their "remaster" of D2 is probably always-online and can only be played via their own client where they advertise BLM or something. And it's probably still full of griefers and hackers.

True. They removed lan, and there is only "solo" that requires online verification every month or 2. Those characters will never be able to trade with anyone else.

Activision blizzard needs to be sent to the pasture, they can no longer make worthwhile games; wcR was a bust and so is D3r.
