That is the account you use to play online. Certain features such as auto-transfer require it. For SP trading you can check here.

I like the idea, kind of. But the implementation looks kinda bad. So much wasted space on my resolution. You lost a ton of useful links from the home page. It kinda looks like a website I woulda made in 2005 as a teenager. Not saying to offend.

Just a few edits I’m suggesting…

The endgame features over 50 new quests which involve defeating deadly bosses, efficiently farming new areas and uncovering many secrets.

Reached Hell difficulty? You're just getting started...

This new one looks pretty bad overall.

Specific things:
  • "Latest news" section looks really bad. Center alignment is not good. The red bars on the left look random and unnecessary.
  • The bevels look very off/inconsistent: e.g. the "latest news" and "play free" sections have their own bevel separate from the outside border's bevel, but the video does not. Also, the "latest news" bevel connects to the outside bevel, while the "play free" bevel does not.
  • The header buttons look like something I would have made in Flash as a teenager. Overall bad style. They also open links in a new tab, which is super obnoxious. Probably the worst thing about the new website.
  • Barb graphic is extremely bad. I get it, we're playing an old game, but that doesn't mean you need to include an old graphic. It doesn't match your attempt at a modern website.
  • The margins look like this was created for a phone. Why is over 50% of the horizontal space wasted on 1440p?
  • The font for the paragraphs below use the Diablo font, which is awful for paragraphs of text. It looks great for titles, but not for the rest. Use the same font for paragraphs as the "the most popular Diablo II..." section.
  • Half of the links previously available (and still available from within the forums) were removed


To not be so negative:
  • Logo looks pretty damn good.
  • Screenshots look good(except maybe the Nymyr's Light torches which look random).
  • Color scheme is mostly good.
  • I like the idea of trying something new, but I think this new website was mostly just was a step backward.

Updated above post with some highlighted notes. I also included the bevels bullet: this probably stands out the most on initial glance at the website - probably why I thought it looked bad initially. It took some conscious evaluating to determine why exactly. Please review above post.
