Absolutely I played it religiously back in the day this was the dominate game that had millions of people everyday from 2001-2015 custom maps were exploding the roleplay community was amazing we had these custom maps which let you do anything & we would all roleplay, reshape the terrain how we wanted, spawn any guy, give names, any skills, change weather. & add weapon & special effects on characters change their colors. The ultimate roleplay as all roleplays should be you were god dm.
They even have some versions where you could save everything so the next time you joined a game that hosted the map you could load everything you built so you didn't have to rebuild everything again & continue your rp where you left off it was really something. I'd play if anyone ever helped me run a custom battlenet realm then we could host Diablo 2 as well just like how mxl & path of diablo do with their overhaul modded versions of D2 that's always been a dream. I got all the great custom maps there were hundreds of thousands one of my favorites was one called Heroes & Empires.
