Once again proving that Diablo 2 was better than Diablo 3, Blizzard took to their forums to announce an upcoming ladder reset on the 26th of November. Players still interested in grinding for gear since July of 2000 can participate in the ladder reset by simply logging in and playing after the Battle.net servers come back online on the 26th of this month. Check out the full announcement after the break.
It’s that time again! On the morning of Tuesday, November 26, we’ll be conducting maintenance in order to reset the Diablo II ladder. We anticipate the realms could be down for up to six hours, and during that time all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder. All characters and items being converted to non-ladder will remain intact, but once converted these characters will no longer have access to ladder content such as creating ladder-only rune words.
This ladder reset, like all those before it, creates a clean slate where all ladder characters begin at level 1 with no previous items to help them. To participate, simply wait until the Diablo II realms return to service, log in to Battle.net, and tick the “Ladder Character” checkbox when creating a new character. You can track ladder character leveling progress by clicking on the Ladder button from the main Diablo II in-game Battle.net interface.
