    Hope you will implement more competition on this server, like ladder resets every 2 years.

    Congrats! Just as a curiosity, did you start the first ladder back in 2005 also with modded items? Or was it just a clasical d2 server?

    Do you plan another reset soon? Also, if it will be the case, can players vote on changes (CURRENT and FUTURE) to have or not on items/drop/inventory/etc?? Also a proposal of ideas from players would be great, at least on "paper" :)

    @Alst, the very first ladder of our d2 server was a clasic lod 1x blizzlike patch without any mods at all and later on we added some improvements, however keep in mind we only have a few modded items as we don't want to turn this into a modded patch but to keep the blizzlike content as much as possible. We don't plan a ladder reset yet but it will happen at some point and everyone will be informed few weeks before through ingame,forums and website announcement also we don't plan on changing the inventory/stash as this feature received a lot of positive feedback and it's a welcomed feature as the game got really old and increasing size isn't causing any unballance as for drop it shall remain blizzlike but keep in mind that it's increased comparing to bnet even if it wasn't touched. Several factors like exp, people ingame, time, luck, etc may influence that.

    Thanks for the answer. The server is really great, i love drop rates, the people, i ALMOST love tyrael & templar's might (what can I say, i'm a bit conservative on added items); also don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to suggest any more changes, just perhaps removing one line (one row) from the inventory so that casters don't have 2x skillers than usual, but the inventory will still be very big. Also, the eth bug is really really annoying. There's no fun in seeing someone with a 7k defense exile shield, or a 7k defense eth arreat...this should be removed. Just my 2 cents ;)

    This is the reason why you only see 4-5 modified (no more than that, nor any extra added items) items that we considered they should have some of their stats modified for a better gameplay. As for the eth bug, it's an already known and accepted "bug" in d2 and this is why we let it as it doesn't influence the game that much anyway even if there is a 7k defence. Bnet has it and 99% of d2 servers have it too.

    Please feel free to open a new conversation with me if you want us to discuss more on this subject as we are currently off-topic and this thread goes into a different direction.

    I would take a slice of that yummy looking cake... but it seems a bit suspicious (don't tell Diablo I said that, hehe).

    Might he be alergic to sweet stuff?

    Adding to previous thing about modded stuff in this server, how did you guys came up with increasing merc gear capabilities? Also, interested in how did you guys came to merc having 1 ring instead of 2 or none(just curiousity)?

    1. It's Diablo after all ( The Lord Of Terror ) :D

    2. As regards the two rings, It requires a lot of work and just not worth it. One is better than nothing after all :)

    3. As regards the subject : Happy Birthday :cool: :cool: :cool:
