Developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2001, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction is the official expansion to Diablo II, continuing the story with a new fifth act centered on Baal and the Barbarian Highlands of Mount Arreat. The expansion adds the Assassin and Druid character classes, new quests and monsters, thousands of additional item combinations, runes and rune words, an expanded stash, enhanced hirelings, weapon swapping, and support for 800×600 resolution while retaining the randomized action-RPG structure and Battle.net multiplayer of the original game.
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction significantly expanded the systems that would define long-term Diablo II play, particularly through its deeper itemization, rune system, class-specific equipment, improved mercenaries, and expanded endgame progression. Its commercial impact was equally notable: more than one million copies were sold worldwide within roughly a month of release, with the expansion reported at the time as the fastest-selling expansion pack worldwide.
Collectors interested in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction may also want to explore Diablo (1996), the original game in the series; Hellfire (1997), the official expansion published for the original Diablo; Diablo II (2000), the base game required for Lord of Destruction; Dungeon Siege (2002), another early-2000s action RPG built around real-time fantasy combat and extensive character development; and Sacred (2004), a later action RPG with a similarly strong emphasis on loot, character builds, and large-scale exploration.
