Blizzard Entertainment plans to release Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, the expansion set to its wildly successful action/role-playing game Diablo II, in late June as a hybrid (Mac/PC) CD, according to IMG.

I finally got around to checking on the new features, goodies, and doodads for the expansion,
and... WOW is about all I can say. I predict more sleepless nights for myself soon... ^_^
My only question is: will this be a stand-alone purchase, or will you need to buy a whole new copy
of D2 to get the expansion? I'm reminded of the WarcraftII fiasco where you could only get
the fixes to the major problems by buying a whole new release. True, this is an expansion, and
not a bug fix, but it could happen...
Simultaneous release. That's awsome!
Now only if the stores would think to place the hybrid box on the Mac shelves as well as the PeeCee shelves, people would realize that there is indeed cool stuff for the platform!
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction is an expansion set. It requires the original Diablo II in order to run. It will cost about $30 or slightly less.
anyone know who is taking pre-orders for the Mac version? everywhere i look is pre-ordering the PC version only.
please post urls!
It is a Hybrid CD...which means it has both the Mac and PC verion on it. If you want it get it.
You're right, no one is taking pre-orders for the Mac version. Sorry, looks like you won't be able to pre-order it. I did find a url you may be interested in though - www.why-cant-i-read.com.
You might want to look up the meaning of hybrid in the dictionary.
I'd buy the expansion pack except I can't play Diablo 2 anymore on 9.1. I get this informative "Diablo 2 can't run because of a serious error(2)." A serious error? It must be, it doesn't even know WHAT the error is. Apparently Blizzard doesn't either, since they never bothered to email me back. Oh well.
I play Diablo II on several OS 9.1 machines without any problems whatsoever. You should:
1. Re-install Diablo II (full install is best, and copy the music file from the Play CD to the Diablo II folder for slightly better performance).
2. Make sure to delete the Diablo II preferences from the preferences folder.
3. Log in to Battle.net update to the latest version.
Next time you might try reading Blizzard's support forums and information archives for information before coming to the conclusion that your problem is much more important than anyone else's.
I've done all that already. Fresh install, fresh updates, deleted preferences. Still fails immediately with that message. And yes I've read their forums. And no my error is not discussed. And when Blizzard promises a response between 24 and 72 hours, and you don't get one after 192 I think it's pretty safe to assume you'll never get one.
