Hi there! Just found out about this mod today and I'm quite sold on it already.
Couple questions...

1) If I install/patch my game, will I still be able to play the regular version over bnet online with my current and ongoing account?

2) Does playing this online require using a new legit CD-KEY? Currently I'm somewhat ashamed to say I'm using a 'found online' old hijacked CD-KEY, that only works on the Asian server lol... I'm just getting back into really playing D2 and did not feel like buying a new key/cds after having had already purchased it so long ago when it was popular, and having my main character with countless hours of items equipped 'pop' one day while battling Uber Diablo for the first time, watching other players take all my precious loot. :( So I threw in the towel and smashed my cd and case with the key, you see.

Thanks.

Thank you.

So here's where I'm at now:
I copied/replaced the patch in the D2 folder with the mod patch, and I have the BNGateway up and running with the correct server info imputed (realm.median-xl.com) and it's selected. All seems good with the mod and things were going surprisingly smooth, but when I go to Multiplayer, Gateway: The Sin War in-game, I'm getting a 'Battlenet is unable to properly identify your Diablo 2 application version.' error.

Would anyone be so kind as to help me get past this? I pray that it's a common one, as I'm super hyped to start playing this incredible mod!
I am running the latest 1.14d version.

Thanks.

Did you use the new launcher? There are several threads about how to install it with this version.

The Sin War realm runs on the 1.13c version.

Follow this (Menu --> Multiplayer --> Join): https://tsw.median-xl.com/join
Or use the new launcher (beta), as Nitz said: http://get.median-xl.com/launcher

When you need to play on normal bnet, just run this reg, which restores blizz gateways: http://tsw.median-xl.com/BattleNet.zip

It's best if you had separate D2 folders for cLoD and Median.

It boosts bow damage itself so if SoR. spike nova, etc. was procd by bow - then yes 'cause it's wdm skills/procs so they'll carry your wepen damage.
