And if anybody has there own reasons that I missed then please feel free to respond. If you follow these simple rules you will not become labeled as a software pirate. The important thing is that if you set up a private server you already own a copy of the game and have registered with Blizzard. Me personally I want to get a private server set up so that when I go under way on a navy vessel that does not have constant contact to the cloud I can still enjoy the gameplay. Blizzards answer to that is a patch server. With the growing number of hackers and pirates in the electronic age companies are trying to find new and more secure ways to protect their name and get the money that is owed to them for the hard work they did to bring us a great product. There are many different reasons for this but some of the main ones are: Dislike for proprietary rights (which is why many people like open source software IE Firefox, Linux etc.), inability to always hold a connection to the internet IE traveling, military away from home, and then there are those that don't like to follow the security requirements which is the main reason why Blizzard imposed these rules. Thx greatly! No worries, Many people are disappointed with Blizzards requirement to have to be connected to their server in order to play just a single player game. While certain communities might take offense to that, and lay personal claim to that title, one can not argue that the Median series of mods has been very long lived (which wouldn’t happen without a devout enough playerbase), Plugy being the best way to experience OG Single Player, and newer mods such as PoD and PD2 as very well received amongst the non-devout OG Bnet players.Sorry for this ignorant question: what advantage do you find in having a private network? what does it do ? why do sucha thing or how does it help botting? Blizzard also sees the fact that D2 has received a decent chunk of popular mods over the years, as a reason D2 has stayed relevant and alive in modern times. I'll copy and paste its contents as a reply to this post. I created the above guide for the PvPGN Community Forums. From what I gather, I will need something to emulate Bnet (pvpgn) as well as an actual d2 server(d2gs). You must be registered and logged in to see this link. Im hoping to be able to set up a server for a few people.

However, if someone were to do these things with D2R, they would probably find cease and desist at their doorsteps. Diablo II LOD Private Server Setup Resources by Admin Thu 2:14 am Just my general dump for Diablo II LOD private server setup resources, guides, etc. Many Diablo fans play both the OG mods and remastered version of the game. People that play these mod servers devoutly, would probably not even purchase or play D2R anyways. Blizzard would win nothing, and lose more than they would gain by doing something about mod servers of an old game. While technically, Blizzard could go after these mod servers, they have instead, embraced them.
