The main advantage of creating a Ladder Character is being able to join in on a totally new economy where powerful items are very valuable. Players create a character in a brand new world (Ladder Character world) where everything (economy, levels) starts from the beginning. They also cannot use powerful high-level items or other high-level characters to help them level up faster. When the Ladder Season first begins, players start at Level 1 and do not have powerful items. Players will be able to experience Diablo II like when the game was first released. This is similar to starting out on a brand new realm. What’s the advantage to creating a Ladder Character? For more information on ladder characters please visit the Arreat Summit Realm Character Types page When the ladder is reset, all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder.Īll 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. More specific information on realm availability on the day of the reset will be posted in the Status forum. We anticipate all Diablo II realms to be down for approximately six hours during the reset.

We will be resetting the Diablo II ladder on Tuesday, March 23 with the release of patch 1.13. Bashiok announced today that the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction ladder will be reset on March 23, marking the release of Diablo II patch 1.13 into the live realms.
