My theory: The new patch is only here for one reason, and that reason is to create a storyline that can be carried on to DIABLO III!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said earlier, I do not know if the new Diablo II patch has bug fixes, nor Ladder resets (very doubtful), nor new items, or such. I only know two things for certain:
1. New patch in the works.
2. One feature.
I do not know if there are more than one feature in the patch. I know. It is frustrating, and a no-news. I simply wanted to hype fans telling them that a patch is coming. And the patch "feature" may be useful and welcomed.
I am not asking you to take my word for it. Simply wait 3-6 weeks and see. All I ask in return for the heads up is that you please support and download the BlizzCast. That would be appreciated. =) http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/

Well thank you for the information Medievaldragon, I'm always glad to see posts by you because they are always informative and exciting, but one way to build hype is using rumors, you should definately use mine lol!!!!
Edit: Chaos, I really doubt it will be a no-cd loader, everyone already uses them, and that would be the most dissapointing patch ever....

Is that not the pattern? we had a ladder reset (albeit a while ago), now there is talk of a new patch, sounds like the are definitely trying to revive some interest in Diablo, odd seeing as they appear to neglect it somewhat don't you think? Let us hope this leads where we all think it does.... DIABLO III.

didn't SC have a patch, then they announced the game at the WWI. And when they released the patch, everyone was speculating the game to be announced at WWI and people were saying that it wasn't gonna be SC2 because Blizz just announced a patch for SC1.
Maybe what Blizzard wants to do is release the Diablo patch and make everyone think that D3 will come out because thats what happened with SC2 but really D3 isn't what they have planned.
Or maybe thats just what Blizzard wants us to think just so that we be surprised when D3 is announced.

I don't know if there ever was a CD loader for Starcraft, because I never use any sort of hacks. I try to protect my computer as much as possible. However, those who downloaded the Starcraft patch and had lost their CD very much appreciated the patch.
No loaders have a chance to have a trojan / backdoor. Not everyone is computer-savvy and fall in the trap.
and could anyone remember what pattern SC had. Wouldn't that give us a good idea of how diablo III will come to be.
the pattern, like I said on the previous page, based on what happened with Starcraft is as follows;
ladder reset>new patch> new game

Not sure if you are implying a Diablo 3 announcement. If Blizzard made such an announcement it would be at BlizzCon or at an European Game Event such as GCDC. No BlizzCon has been revealed for this year. It is usually announced around 2 months in advance for ticket sales. So We won't know there is a BlizzCon until June-July.
I know Blizzard is going to GDC on February 18-22 ... they have Job Recruiting booth at Career Pavillion 714 CP. No idea if they are showcasing any game or announcement.
I was speculating, that was starcraft, I have no real reason to believe the same pattern would be used for Diablo, but I like to think so.

One feature sounds iffy to me though. Unless there is more then one and they only told Medieval one.
Even 3 weeks is too long eh.

Oh well.. I just hope it will add something fun and new to the game to keep us occupied until our day does come. Ubers have become tedius.

If that was the case we wouldn't be able to disscuss it...
Well we would but everything would have to be approved...which sounds like censorship...and everyone know's my opinion of censorship...
Anyway, it could be a Warden patch or a No CD patch...
