The recent trend with the huge loss in quality of the delivered content tells me that they simply reduced servers dedicated to D2 aswell. They are simply slowly putting D2 on the backburner more and more. Dev amount working on D2 must be laughably low aswell from what they deliver. Guess D2's time is up. They most likely throw most of their resources and money towards their upcoming mobile game development and the competitive pvp game they apparently develop. D2 is just their cash cow game that gets kept alive with minimal resources and effort thrown into. Just to milk players till their new games are ready to release and they can let D2 die. And before you say "servers? It's peer to peer smartass". Yea but login servers just like data storages are a thing aswell. And those things are literally what op is criticising. And we can all feel it. Has to be them downgrading server costs to the bare minimum.
