Diablo Lod was my game of choice until I bought the Wii. Once someone plays the expansion, the original seems dull. However, with the release of the Wii and Playstation 3, the number of people on battle.net for Diablo II will drop. I think it is a bad idea to spend more that about $10 for the expansion if you do not own it already. I saw the number of players drop before the release of the Wii. I recommend looking for used copies of it.
