Well, whatever one might've said about former mxl versions, ain't would disagree with the fact they've been remarkable.

the version that you seek is Omega v001 or v002 (the warlocks were removed in v003 )

v001 here https://www.moddb.com/mods/median-xl/do ... n-xl-omega
v002 here https://www.moddb.com/mods/median-xl/do ... st-version

here is a changelog of old versions if you want to see what changed from v001 to v002 or other changes http://modianhelp.anhei3.net/MXLU_vXVc_ ... 4/log.html

there was also a lot of hype around Median XL Mean mode , the project of Borgin and Xypherous , but it never came out officially as it was not finished and the project was abandoned.

since only the veterans were asking for the game to get harder while all the others were crying about the game being too hard , the new MXL versions that came along have set the game on a decreasing difficulty trend in order to attract more newbs to play it , reason why the community is now larger than it used to be and you can now kill the strongest bosses in a few minutes / seconds if we count the famous 15 sec Samael kill (i haven't done it under a minute)

i feel you . i also loved older versions and the Hard Mode Charm which allowed you to set the difficulty to any level you wanted/your build could handle - unfortunately it was abused in MP parties to boost HP and damage of the players that were not in the party (as they were counted as opponents) and it got removed since this was never intended to work like that . i pray that we get it back some day in a way that the abuse will not work , so that we can enjoy a harder difficulty whenever we feel so . https://diablo.gamepedia.com/Game_Mechanics_(Median_XL)#Hard_Mode_Charm

Yea and it not launched. Game.exe and diablo II.exe just not launched.
Few times some days ago launcher was have infinity restart ask. until full reinstall.
Seems its not friendly with win 8.1 x64.
I play on d2maniacs since 2009 but meet this 1time.
Diablo exe`s in win xp sp2 mode, glide also. I think need to try clean all files that lefted laucher via search in documnets$settings make restart and maby then.

I also checked one more time file properties etc. My username are english. I unpack old median- works, sigma nope- exe not works.

For everyone, who is searching REALLY old versions or also a side patch (i mean the opposite of a main patch^^):

https://ds-servers.com/?page=search&text=diablo+2+mods
https://en.ds-servers.com/gf/diablo-2-l ... ltimative/
https://en.ds-servers.com/gf/diablo-2-l ... median-xl/

Thats what i found after hours of searching for Median 2008 1.55c (which i didnt find untill now -.-), many very old versions are available here too.
If anyone needs the docs for M2008, i have them for 1.46 and 1.57 and also a few older ones.

I already asked myself wheather it would be accepted, to start a tread for collecting every single Median including docs to make things easier for those, who are searching for hours... every epoche of median has its own flavor... even if a few are unbalanced or buggy, they are still fun to play. And why should the old days, old guides and everything else be forgotten one day? Its hard enough to find the most versions, and i am not jet speaking about the docs. The longer we wait, the harder it will be. But somehow i fear it would not face much appreciation. If someone can confirm, that i am wrong with this point, i would start such a tread and upload everything what i have here, hoping for others to do that too then...

Now feel free to post something like "sticking to old versions is stupid" :)
The real fans will always like older versions too.

I would love that, as you said, each version had its own charm and some are pretty tricky to find.
