What do you mean when they upgrade D2 to B.Net 2.0? Is that a thing?

There's talk of it. Tho i say "when" as a way of giving myself hope. It's not set in stone, but D2 has been getting renewed love over the past few months for no real apparent reason, and i like to believe it's a prelude to something big happening in the future. There was an article about blizzard hiring people for some sort of special project, and i personally think it's something for D2. Can't hurt to hope.

I always thought Diablo 2 revamped would make a magnificent modern game, if they just gave it a few minor tweaks:

• Don't change anything about the game play, except that gold picks up automatically like in D3.
• Make necessary visual changes to play in modern gaming resolutions without changing gameplay (I Know there is a mod you can D/L to play in full resolution but it gives an unfair advantage, you can see half the freaking map before the mobs can see you)
• maybe sharpen/improve the graphics (I'm on the fence about this because it may ruin the original charm)
• Of course, integrate it into new B.Net with the modern, easy friend adding/messaging/etc. system
• I have to admit, I think an auction house, much like the one from D3, would be the tits.

Baler -- love that post! Keep it coming!!
