That's right! In conjunction with the very recent ladder reset, Blizzard has released a minor D2 patch fixing quite a few bugs and even implemented some new methods to combat spambots!
Official Blizzard Quote:
Patch 1.13d - 10/27/2011
New Features
Ignoring players is now saved between sessions of the game. All ignores are now written out to disk (file: 'ignorelist'). This feature can be toggled by issuing the command '/ignorepersist'.
Users can now filter messages based on content by issuing the command '/filtermsg <content>'. To unfilter content issue the command '/unfiltermsg <content>'. (The maximum length of a filter pattern is 128 characters)
Users can now set their home channel by issuing a new Battle.net chat command '/home <channel name>' while in the Battle.net chat interface.
Users can return to their home channel at any time by issuing the command '/home' while in the Battle.net chat interface.
Major Bugs
Fixed a known dupe method.
Fixed another issue where players were able to stack auras in an unintended way.
Minor Bugs
Fixed a bug where Mercenaries wouldn't have multiple auras active when they should have.
Fixed an issue where players could create games prefixed with color codes.
Potentially fixed an issue where players would be disconnected when watching the cinematics when in a Battle.net game.
Fixed an issue where the game would crash when running in windowed mode with sound disabled and the game tried to play a cinematic.
Aw, I thought it was the beta patch. Ah well I was looking forward to this patch as well although I'm busy with D3 nowadays :P. They kinda hinted at it when they announced the reset.
Its easy to get a lvl 85 fire / cold sorc and run your bot 24/7 on hell meph / andy etc... In a day or two you will have enough stuff to start your own hammerdin... Enigma is hard to get but this dude probably has riches in d2jsp so yeah.
I was testing these new features out last night and noticed something they didn't mention:
The "ignorelist" file includes both strings for ignoring players as well as message filters. If the entry begins with a bang (!), then it's a message filter; if it's a plain ol'string, it interprets an ignored player. For example:
!.com
blood_barb
Explanation:
!.com is filtering out that message.
blood_barb is ignoring that player.
They won't answer my question about whether or not we can use regexs instead of copy-pasting all the time. I'll have to test that out later (although testing it out would be difficult without a friend to help).
I've run it in admin mode, I've run it in XP mode (on updates 2 and 3), I've tried opening the Screen Resolution page but it doesn't work, and several other things that have been offered as fixes for some but don't work for others. The colors are messed up for Diablo 2, Warcraft, and Starcraft 1 and this isn't just a problem locked to my computer: just look it up on Google. The only thing that works, and only for D2, is the Flight video program.

"Major Bugs
Fixed a known dupe method."
Is not encouraging to me now that the next game is "soon." I know diablo 3 will be nothing alike system wise, but people find a way :(.
I'm surprised it actually took Blizzard this long to implement these.
ever seen any dupes in wow?
i guess items 'll just get a unique id or something
Just like alex523 said I have no problem running D2 in Win7
