Variants are separated into Diablo II Classic and Expansion lists due to the significant differences between the two versions of the game. It is entirely possible to play an Expansion variant in D2 classic, and a Classic variant in the expansion. The separate lists are maintained to make it easier to recognize which version of the game the author had in mind at the time that the variant was written.
