I am fairly surprised that no one has mentioned this yet...
The keys were (still are) one of my favorite parts of Diablo 2: lod. It adds a whole entire new twist to the game, it added many more possibilities and a lot more fun...I mean what is better than battling all the bosses (also minions) in one small tiny area like Tristram. Not only could this move on to Diablo 3. But this could also be the way Diablo returns...in the sequel Diablo III.
Every key could open a portal into hell (where that boss rules). For example: you find the Key of Hate, and somehow use it to open the portal to Mephisto. Then the Key of Terror to Diablo and Key of Destruction to Baal etc. and once all 3 bosses defeated it opens portal to an even greater boss..i dont know just writing random ideas.
I havent really thought it over, i am just giving some ideas to my thoughts.....I'm shocked i havent seen a post about this. Write your thoughts. I hope an idea like this returns in Diablo 3.

"Not Even Death Can Save You From Me" ~ Diablo (II)
Hey I have to admit,
after a while, I did start playing the game just for the ubers.
It was incredibly fun to make my entire account just so that I could build up
for a character(s) that could pwn the ubers faster than my friends.
I really really hope they have an event extremely similar or the same as uber tristram.
It was really fun. Of course things like Diablo clone (Diablo walks the earth) and other live
events would be beautiful!:thumbsup:'
The keys were minor and as of now all we know is that they are only gameplay relevant, not lore relevant. So they will probably not bring them back and maybe impliment something like that maybe in the future.

I always had the theory, before Diablo III was announced that this event was leading up to Diablo III. Just the fact that the 3 prime evils gathered at Tristram and minions from hell were rising from hell, right before your eyes. Basically, it seems like maybe it does have to do with the storyline in Diablo 3.. If it weren't 20 years later haha.
I also doubt D will be only accessible through some sort of items unlocking his lair.
I would love to see features such as the keys and the cow level in D3 though.
(I haven't been to Uber Tristram yet because I quit well before them and jsut came back to D2 2 weeks ago. It'll prbably be a while starting from scratch again...)

He will probably have a part in the storyline.
If that's what you meant.
edit: but yes, uber quests that span through out the game would be awesome
