Ok now I loved all the Diablo series from the original right up to Diablo 2 expansion. Well last week I came across some mods for the expansion and I figured they'ld be like just tweeking certain areas but I'ld never heard "I was offline for years" of a mod for diablo 2 expansion that was almost an entirely new game. So that's what Median XL does for Diablo2 Expansion.
Median XL rocks and it's been kicking my ass and killing me over and over and I'm having fun playing D2 Expansion again.
All new skill, new unigues, new cube recipes and you have the cube when you start with a huge stash area too, new Uber quests, new almost everything everywhere.
Don't get me wrong this isn't just a drop mod. The monsters are all tough as hell and even though there is magic stuff everywhere you don't get crap for selling what you find so you gotta hustle to get ahead.
Right now I'm playing an Amazon, I have a bow, it shoots eternal arrows through multiple enemies and is devasting, I also have 3 fire elementals that follow me around like I was a necromancer :D. Oh yeah they made it that different and I love it.
All you have to do after downloading it is rename a file in your Diablo2 folder" just added backup to the name of the file" and copy the new .MPG in it's place and then just run the game as normal. That's it, no registry adds, no installer, no copying files from your Expansion CD.
"You need new install of Diablo2 Expansion versions 1.10 up to 1.12 for this mod and you can't use an old saved character or anything else since this is so different from the original game."
"also no regular battlenet though it says private multiplayer is an option just not on official servers"

*If you just want to check out the screenshots to see if this game is different at all then click above link then on the menu on your left you'll see a link named MEDIA. You're then at page of thumbnail links to 60 different screenshots and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did when I first viewed them. :)
Try out this mod and then stop just long enough to to come back to this thread and let others know if you had fun and if it's worth the download.
