I had no idea they removed it! The launch just left me thinking "yep that's blizzard now"

Is it anywhere on par with 2 today? it seems really casual and wow-looking back then too

Path of Exile is the closest thing I've played to a worthy D2 successor. D3 was fun and worth the money, but isn't really like D2. D4 has been fun so far too, but I'm still on the fence as they obviously have a lot to sort out, just like they did with D3. Definitely wouldn't say I regret buying D4 at this point, it just needs work.

Honestly games from that era just had a "simple complexity" and a difficulty that doesn't seem to exist with modern games. And that seems to apply across genres.
