A 9 day gap between season end and next season start? Is that normal? haven't played ladder in a long time.

Don't think we've seen a 'gap' like this before for D2R.

Nope. Maybe they are really changing something? Could be a major hardware/backend change. Would be sweet if they'd get rid of some bugs.

The gap between ladder resets is unusual. That points to a potential PTR for substantial changes. Hopium is getting full

Thank you Teebling!

I wonder if they'll let us transfer our Diablo 3 characters over? I have a Paragon level 1,000 ready to ship...

Imagine a whole account of characters doing over 1.8 million damage a second in Diablo 2? In yo face, Mosaic!

I don't know how you might have missed it, but they confirmed the other day that there will be changes - we just don't know what yet.

Next week Wednesday will be a 30th Anniversary Spotlight live stream, where they will be talking about upcoming changes across all Diablo games. And in the announcement video about this, they very specifically and deliberately confirmed that there will be changes to D2R. As if they thought that if they hadn't said so specifically, nobody would have believed there would be anything happening to D2R.

Yeah, read this after posting. I want to be excited but I don't want to be disappointed. Keeping my hopes low for now, let's see. Maybe they announce Diablo Immortal 2 or something. -.-"

From the post, I didnt see any changes, in past, they announce it with it. This usually means 'no change' .

I guess it is probably some of their staff hospitalize makes the original schedule impossible.
