    This game is impossible to stop!!! It stops getting fun once you get to about lvl 90 because then all you can do is fight other people. But you can always just make a new character to start the fun over again. Id recommend this to just about anyone with a little brains.

    I love Diablo II: LOD, its so amazing, i cant stop playing it, never. i just changed my pass, and forgot it, lol, i called blizzard, they will help me. But anywayz, this game is very amazing, i love the set up, all the items, and even the crappy sets are good for their own lvl. Hope Blizzard makes another diablo game, even better then this!!!!!!

    This is the game to which I compare all RPGs. Nothing has stood up to it yet, including D1 and D2 Classic.

    You would have to be crazy to listen to Dimitri (he voted 1). I borrowed this game off a mate. I am so hooked on it. Diablo two was good but this was a god send so many new items. Personally I use druid who is cool. Dont use any kind of cheat tho... it takes the fun right out of it.

    This is, simply put, the best expansion pack ever, in my opinion. The number of small changes it makes to general gameplay, the new mission, and the two new character classes make it worth one's time to go back and play Diablo II all over again. As if we hadn't done that enough.

    If there was a voting number higher than ten i would have to use that, but since there isn't ill just have to use ten. If you are bitching about a crappy character.... well your problem nobody wants to hear you bitch about it so keep it to yourself.

    D2 is not very stunning visually, but completely makes up for it with LoD. the 800x600 res. makes for a much more enjoying game. the battle.net is wonderful, (except for lags) and the game is the most addicting i have played. ever. what happens is you'll go, o just one more meph run, then i'll finish act 4, then haha it keeps on going. next thing you know you've been playingD2 is not very stunning visually, but completely makes up for it with LoD. the 800x600 res. makes for a much more enjoying game. the battle.net is wonderful, (except for lags) and the game is the most addicting i have played. ever. what happens is you'll go, o just one more meph run, then i'll finish act 4, then haha it keeps on going. next thing you know you've been playing 2 1/2 hrs. if you buy this you won't regret it!!

    LoD adds characters, another act, more monsters, more items, runes and crafting. It is great.

    Diablo II Lord of Destruction significantly improves on the basis set out by Diablo and Diablo II. With a great and natural extension of the story, this expansion as even more immersive than the original game. Also improvements in terms of gameplay, such as weapon swap and added control, sets this apart from an original that seems dull in comparison.

    For all the kids that say they cannot find hacks, This game does not need Hacks. Also, All the kids that say they have a level 99 are lieing. It takes over 5000 Baal Run's to even level up from level 98 to 99. If you die that much, you honestly could not have even gotten to level 99. Greatest game ever!

    Just amazingly immersive and addictive, i don't know how it does it, but it just gives you an enormous sense of FUN, that games these days just don't provide - it has to be experienced first-hand to be understood. One of my favourite games ever.

    The expansion adds so much to the original "Diablo 2," I had lost interest in the original till the expansion came out, it resparked the interest, and I've been playing the expansion a lot more than I played the original.

  1. If you are an old Diablo fan, you probably already finished the expansion, and if you never even played Diablo II, well, now you can play a complete debugged game with seven available PC classes.
  2. With the two new character classes, fifth act, powerful new monsters, outrageous new magic items and craft system, the LoD will make you lose sleep, neglect your family’s needs and even miss work from playing it. It’s just that good.
  3. Has a lot of depth that's readily apparent, yet it takes a long time to really see how much is packed into this great expansion to one of last year's most addicting games.
