>most of the changes are for multiplayer, however bliz themselves say SP and D2Classic will have some significant changes as well.
>really? i'd love to see some quotes of that.

"Are all of the changes in the patch expansion only?
Bill Roper: At the very least, monster balance and skill synergies will be applicable to both Diablo II and Lord of Destruction. Some of the other changes may apply as well, but I would have to look again."
Now obviously certain things have changed recently, so take that with a grain of salt. Bill Roper is no longer with Bliz, and even though it's safe to guess changes will trickle down to D2Classic. Nothing is guaranteed until 1.1 goes live for real. I don't like to assume things. ;)
As for SP. It wouldn't make much sense if after this beta, the 1.1 changes will only take effect for multiplayer, and 1.1 SP will pretty much play identically to 1.09. Unless there's a drastic last minute change, last I heard most of the 1.1 changes includes SP, TCP\IP, and Open. Not just the new Ladder Realm. At least that's what I remembered the unfalliable GFrazier once said. Keep in mind he once said the Burizado is exempted from the upgrade recipe. (Granted he did correct himself later.)
ps. That's Mr. Muppet Smith.
