As of November 13, 2006, Median 2008 has been released. Its unique set of new skills has now been reorganized into class specific trees, which more clearly defines each class. Give feedback in Brother Laz's thread, and go to his site for more detailed information and to download the mod.
This mod has single-handedly rekindled my interest in Diablo II. Check it out. |

Blizzard held another Fan Site Chat in December 2000 about the expansion pack for Diablo II. Some interesting new tidbits were revealed, including information on a closed beta test, a possible Act V quest bonus, and the fact that the Diablo II Development Team was amazingly 73.65923% done with the expansion pack. |

It all started innocently enough with GameSpot and their report entitled "Eye of the Storm," a history of Blizzard and Blizzard North. Included with their report was a trivia contest. Answer the questions correctly and you'd be entered to win a trip to Blizzard North for one valuable weekend and a chance to play the Diablo II Expansion Pack months before its release. Naturally Bolty entered, but since he never wins anything, he wasn't exactly holding his breath. Well, he won. And a report of his experiences at Blizzard was the result for you. |

The forums are back online now after being hacked yesterday. Here's the details: A hacker group used a known posting exploit method on older versions of the forum software to gain admin access to the system. Their interests were not in damage of the forum system itself, but rather in abusing it to target its userbase to install trojan horse virii. A mass email was sent to all Lurker Lounge forum users containing a link to install such a trojan, and the forum's HTML code was modified to do the same. I had removed the inserted HTML code once I heard of the problem; however, the forum itself had to be shut down to prevent the system from being compromised again. The software has been upgraded (re-installed) to close the exploit. As far as I can see, no posts were lost and no further damage was done. It is strongly recommended, if you haven't already, to check your system for viruses if you visited the forums yesterday and noticed odd behavior (window popups, external script executions). Thanks go to everyone who was quick to alert me of the trouble yesterday, and to all who offered to help. Enjoy the new forum features and please do let me know if anything is behaving strangely with the new functionality. |

By now the gifts have been unwrapped, big meals consumed, and most folks are going to spend today lazily laying about recovering. I hope that none of you are going shopping in the craziness that is Boxing Day. My gift to all of you is an amazing video that was found by my fiancee. It is the artist's first go at making a video (but not animating) and let me tell you this. Percula has done some stunning work in the 7 1/2 minute movie, The Craft of War:BLIND.
