Cross platform play, updated graphics... im down

Yeah, it looks pretty spectacular. There's much more information here too:



Major points from there and Reddit:

- Modern graphics engine rendering at full frame rate, but the game internals still use the 25 ticks per second that it always has

- The graphics engine runs on top of the entire original gameplay code, including the tile grid and all details of items and skill mechanics

- Larger and shared stash

- Advanced stats page in the character screen (shows magic find, etc)

- Offline play confirmed, though the program authenticates online

- Auto gold pickup is optional

- Controller support for consoles, including tweaks to how some skills aim and target

- Includes the expansion, though classic games and characters are still possible

- Lots of modern UI tweaks

- 8 Player multiplayer confirmed

- Lots of battle.net back-end improvements: duplicate character names possible, global play rather than regional realms, able to search different difficulty games

Will it be a free upgrade? Or
How much will you pay?
If not free, how many account would you upgrade? (assuming many of us have multiple accounts)

I heard about prices to be 40 to 60 EUR but who can tell today? No info about upgrades yet but if there will be for my old CD's i'd be fine with it.
Converting accounts: no need on my end. I lost all my old accounts and characters a few years ago due to me missing a refresh date. Bummer..

What i know it that D2R will be played on new global battle.net and not the old servers anymore.

It sounds like you can play D2 or D2 LOD as well, they are separate from eachother.

Bummers. My current lineup of toons are less than a year old too, and they are barely variantish. I think, with D2R, I would rebuild some of the hardcore variants characters. Pray that BattleNet do away with refresh date too.
