what's a good 1.07 d1 mod?

Nope, I meant Blizzard. If Sierra had offered online support (and continued selling the game), it would have been more successful. If Blizzard had offered online support, it would have achieved legendary status.

My memory is a bit fuzzy about the whole issue, but if I remember correctly it was Sierra that bungled the whole Multiplayer coding. Multiplayer had to be dropped from the main menu quasi-completed. Sierra dropped the Baal (ha!), and I can understand why Blizz didn't pick it up. When an expansion is outsourced to third parties, it shouldn't be the responsibility of Blizzard to go back in and fungle with the code just to get it up to spec. Not to mention the headaches of having to take over Battle.net support and upkeep for a game made by a third party.

I say all of this not because you are unaware - I'm quite certain you know more about this than I do - but instead to try to clarify the original intent of my comment. It's a nice dream to think about. Although I played Diablo a lot on Battle.net, I never owned Hellfire. If there was support for it, I'm sure I would still have a copy:)

Cheers,
