Well, I guess this was probably expected by most people including me.  But since the announcement of Diablo 3 by Blizzard Diablo 2 has seen a increase in playing time by about 3 times what it had been prior to announcement.  And I know personally many of my friends and myself have started playing again since announcement.  I just thought I should report this and see what people have to think and see if anyone on here has started playing again too.

Here is a link to the xfire page where you can see a graph of minutes played each day:

Diablo 2 is also currently the 9th most played game on xfire.

If anyone on here wants to play with me or something I'm on USEast and my account name is Ickalanda.

Yeah, the same thing happened with the Starcraft Battlechest vaulting to the top 5 of PC games sold after the announcement of Starcraft 2.

Yeah, I was thinking of reinstalling it myself. Man it's been so long. I always love going back to it though.
