Diablo CD version

In no uncertain terms, there is nothing that can be done as the servers are not there.

Until Blizzard decides to scrape together the 50 cents it takes to run those servers, and probably the 300 dollars they’ll likely pay the one person to maintain it/moderate on a monthly basis, there’s no chances of this changing.

That’s not the case. Using the recently hosted D1 and WC2, people have been connecting to Battlenet and playing on both WC2 and D1.

The issue is, the version of D1 that Bliz is selling has a bug where it installs the old legacy servers (East, West, Europe, Asia). Those can’t be connected to with the version Bliz is selling.

Thus, a fix is needed to remove those gateways and add the “Global” gateway, which is the modern, intended gateway.

Now, as for playing Diablo 1, the original CD version is perfectly adequate but could still use the 1.09

Using the original CD version, even patched to 1.09, will put people on the legacy gateways, essentially splitting the online playerbase.
