Diablo II Ladder Reset Coming - Nebu
We will be resetting the Diablo II ladder on March 23 with the release of patch 1.13. We anticipate all Diablo II realms to be down for approximately six hours during the reset. More specific information on realm availability on the day of the reset will be posted in the Battle.net Status forum. When the ladder is reset, all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder. All characters and items being converted to non-ladder will remain intact, but once converted these characters will no longer have access to ladder content such as creating ladder-only rune words. For more information on ladder characters please visit the Arreat Summit Realm Character Types page.

Once you enter a main section, you will find a submenu on top for the main subpages for that section (many of these links will also be found on the index page of the section). If you wish to read through the guide in the order that it was intended, use the arrows at the bottom right of the guide to go from page to page. At the bottom left is the Exit button so that you can exit out of the guide at any time.
