In the coming weeks, Diablo II: Resurrected will be launching its first ever Public Test Realm (PTR)—a special realm where we can test balance, bug fixes, and other enhancements we make to the game. We invite all of you to participate, as you’ll have an opportunity to play a crucial role in testing features and evolving the experience for all players. When we get closer, we’ll share more details on how you can gain access to the PTR and trial these changes.

The primary focus of that PTR will be revolved around fixing database issues and stabilizing our online environment. Once we are confident these fixes are in a good place, we’ll share more details on Ladder rank play and even more new changes coming to Diablo II: Resurrected.

Our community continues to be instrumental in making this game better, and for that we want to say Thank You. As we continue to update and improve the game, please keep sharing your feedback with us—your collaboration is

Key to building an incredible Diablo II: Resurrected experience we will all treasure for years to come.

Still no date for ladder then, I guess we're still a long way off the stable environment the devs want before unleashing that.

Lol still not even a guestimate date?! Cmon man! i want everyone else to be broke like me on ladder already!

Would you rather have ladder, or server stability... Keep in mind the release of ladder will probably see a resurgence possibly even new peak load to the servers...
I know its frustrating (though I have never personally been good enough to consider doing ladder (yet)). but I personally am glad they are targeting stability first

Knowing Blizzard, the ladder may be a long ways away.

Look at WC3: Reforged as an example, or the fact that D4 and OW2 delayed.

The latter is their own fault. They fired the staff themselves.
