The whole D2R is just a big joke, there are so many better games to play.

Just use TCP/IP if that's the case
Welp, they recently "silently" nixed that idea. Here's a quote from Blizzard's FAQ:
"TCP/IP support will not be available in the upcoming Beta or the final game. After careful deliberation, we will no longer be supporting this option as we identified potential security risks and are committed to safeguarding the player experience."
Since Median uses TCP/IP to join to the realm, I suppose this puts the quietus on making it even a possibility.
Wow this is a huge letdown... if mods can't be used in multiplayer then I might consider requesting a refund
Can't wait for release! I know people bash on baal runs, but at least for me I honestly can't wait. The only reason I stopped playing was because there were no lld and mld lobbies anymore. If enough people come back I believe is going to be awesome!
I wonder how many people want to spend £50 for an old game with upgraded graphic without TCP/IP option, that need battle.net launcher to work, after disaster called Warcraft 3 Reforged xD... yeh this will be awesome to watch

Yeah... I was optimistic, but with the removal of TCP/IP, even Brother Laz said he won't even bother recreating Median in D2R, since private servers can still be shut down by Blizzard.
Well done Blizzard. You killed the modding community of a game that hasn't even released yet.

For the sake of clarity, BrotherLaz wasn't going to recreate old Median in D2R. He originally planned to see if his old Median version could've been ported to D2R but, after looking around a bit, he concluded that wouldn't have been feasible thanks also to the many custom assets used in the original mod that didn't have a 3D equivalent for D2R. So he decided instead to create a mod from scratch called "Firestorm" which would have featured a lvl cap of 50, no number over 1k and, most important of all, would have been heavily Multiplayer oriented. As you can imagine this project died in its crib with the latest news form Blizz.
SP mods is what D2R can have. But with code editing being prohibited, key info lacking and the switch to 3D constituting a potential big wall, is yet to be seen exactly which depth and width mods can even reach in this environment. I wouldn't recommend rising your hopes if you have any.
Thanks for the clarification RequiemLux! I just read some excerpts from Laz on the latest Rhykker video (who btw finally mentioned the MXL mod after I send him a mail about it, so I hope we can see an influx in players)
It's nice to have some additional info on Laz's planned projects.
And yeah, I already had a mod planned in the sense of the crucible DLC of Grim Dawn with revamped skills and classes. That however was meant to be experienced strictly in MP, so my hopes of creating this kind of mod has vanished because of the latest news.
