Are you kidding me? test yourself to see that the map works. Ive been playing the whole day and no problem at all.

hmm... I didn't play. I just read what they said. They said it's not working? Whatever. Probably just a few kids didn't know what to do.

They didn't fix the return bug.... The only diference now is.... 8 MB. yeah.

And wasted a lot of time. Screwing up at least 60% of the maps. GOOD JOB Blizzard. I love you so much I would love to ... you once in a while.

Blizzard's Diablo Community Manager, (Bashiok), says:

Update - 8/5

The Warcraft III patch has been released but in order to resolve some persistent issues work is not yet moving to the Diablo II patch. Again this involves some very high priority issues that need to be resolved before work can continue on D2 1.13

We'll keep you updated as work progresses.

Expect 1.25.

mmm they working on d2 1.13 now?

(bart where did you find that?)

Check the Battle.Net forums, Lanaya. That's where I found the release notes for 1.24b, and I expect any news about continuing work on D2 will be posted there.
