Blizzard now supports digital downloads, so basically you are buying a key and re downloading the software.
1> go buy the key: http://www.mmo1st.com/cd-key-2/diablo-ii-diablo-ii-expansion-cd-key-battle-chest-1.html
2> Be sure to enter in the 10% off code mmo1st when checking out. I used Paypal, since I could chargeback if there was any issue.
3> Register with Blizzard: https://www.blizzard.com/login/login.xml
4> Register your games through the "my accounts" link by entering in the key codes given to you by email. They will allow you to re download the games.
5> Download the games! D2 ~ 4.6 gb LoD ~ 477mb
6> Then simply use the key BLIZZARD gives you in the "games" section of "my account" (click on "view serial" next to game) and install.
Thank me, i just bought mine. Only like 50 keys left.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I dont think I will play often but will be a good time killing game for my laptop and only 5$ so why not.
-
I just got Titan Quest too
But Diablo 2 is just a classic, been waiting for the digital download for a while now -
Did they clean out the hacks on the patch that just came out?
-
i may get Diablo 1 as i lost the cd key a while back. i'm wondering though.. how are they selling just the keys? i would assume Blizzard would sell the license themselves and through a 3rd party.

Its possible they have the games and just tossed them and sell the keys only to save hassles on shipping and stuff.
-
Didn't buy diablo yet, but thanks for the heads up on the official online download thing. dling warcraft 3 right now. Thanks.
-
Hopefully these arent banned keys on Bnet.

Well thats why like link I used paypal so I can get my money back easy if there is a problem, you could with a credit card too via chargeback. Still 5$ is not too much to risk, thats less than a smoothie at the mall.
-
Yea im thinking of buying a new set of keys and start playing again but its pointless if malicious hacks are still around (maphack is okay)
-
That site looks really shady.
Btw, where is the coupon code? -

lol well anyways reporting back, worked for me! and it was cool since I didnt know about the blizzard accout thing, now I registered my other games and can download them any time! since it ties the cd key to your account/name I am really sure they are valid keys. downloading D2 right now and will let you know later.
-
Oh yea I still have my wc3 cd keys. I might download that again just for DOTA.
-
how do they deliver the key? Do they email it to you? I haven't recieved mine yet.
-
-
Those keys must have been generated. There is over 70 Starcraft keys. Where do you think they came from? I bet Blizzard will eventually ban these keys.
-
That's cool. I still play Diablo II and I can't what for the third
-
-
Noxxle likes to make negative posts... it's his thing.
-
i'm thinking of purchasing warcraft3 because i heard dota is fun.
But the site only shows a cd key for original game, not expansion pack (frozen throne)
Or is it like starcraft where expansion pack doesnt have cd key?? -

Lol yeah I was like um how come the key is not working? When I started to isntall the game, and its because you get a totally new key direct from blizard for the digital download version right there on the pic I posted where it says view game key. I ended up downloading it 2x because the folder did not show up for me, Vista bug where a folder didnt refresh so I couldnt see it but it was actually there. Its installed, gonna go add the expansion and give it a quick run.
-
do people still play D2 online? might be fun to start from scratch again.

I was online the other day, mid day was about 20 games open. I created a game that said "first time playing" and had like 2 people join within minutes. But they didnt stick around very long.
-
Surprisingly, it still has a good size community. I have no problems finding games to join.
-
I wonder how much the D2 community as grown since they announced D3. I'll bet its really exploded as all sorts of people are digging up their old keys now. I might just do that too!
-
Got keys within 5 mins and works fine
Hot deal!!! -
Most probably are from ex internet cafe's I think
-
Diablo 2 + Diablo 2 LoD for $4.91!
