Quick note re: The Dark.
Since TD is a Hellfire mod, it has no support for a bnet style interface. However, if someone were to create such an interface, TD (and all Hellfire installs) could be played directly on bnet, as well as on any private server. Thus, I don't see the value of a private server for mods either. It's also quite easy to make older versions of Diablo connect to battle.net, so v1.07 mods such as VK or ME are also quite viable.
