=== Support and legacy ===
Until 2016, Blizzard provided limited support for ''Diablo II'', including occasional patches. Although the original CD [[Retail software|retail release]] worked on [[Windows 95]]/98/Me/NT4SP5,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/ |title=Blizzard Entertainment - Diablo II |date=January 24, 2002 |access-date=September 15, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721053458/http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/ |archive-date=July 21, 2015 }}</ref> the current version downloadable from [[Battle.net]] requires at least [[Windows 2000]]/[[Windows XP|XP]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-ii-minimum-system-requirements |title=Diablo II Minimum System Requirements - Battle.net Support |publisher=Us.battle.net |date=September 4, 2013 |access-date=September 15, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131116192730/https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-ii-minimum-system-requirements |archive-date=November 16, 2013 }}</ref>

Around 2008, the announcement of ''[[Diablo III]]'' renewed the interest in its predecessor and brought more attention to the many mods available for the game.<ref name="moddb">{{cite web|url=http://www.moddb.com/features/diablo-2-mod-roundup |title=Diablo 2 Mod Roundup |date=July 17, 2008 |publisher=Moddb.com |access-date=September 15, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209182936/http://www.moddb.com/features/diablo-2-mod-roundup |archive-date=February 9, 2010 }}</ref>
