I hope this is not in violation of any forum rules, thought i would give the community some information about a 1.09 realm created by Tyreal.


The object of D2 Relived is to experience the greatest parts of 1.09 again. Alot of people miss the old dueling, the cowing and the bugged items. So i decided to put together a realm that combined the best of all those things. We have been up and running for over a year now, but the realm did go down for the summer and reopened back in September. The patch has been modified enough to give users the ability to gain the items they want to make their good dueling characters in a few weeks rather than months as it was in old 1.09. We run on a very powerful connection and strong dedicated servers providing a lag-free environment, and its completely free and maintained on donations only.

Here are some great features of D2R:
  • You get a godly MF setup (788%) when you join and you get rewards for reaching level 99 and rushing others.
  • Crafting godly rings and cruels are as simple as having a gem.
  • 1.08 items can drop on monsters with a level 90 or higher.
  • Godly duped rares can spawn.
  • Cow level mf is increased by 60%
  • Cows have a 25% experience gain added to the original 1.09 rate.
  • There are PvP tournaments weekly in which you can gain prizes dueling against others of your class.
  • The server is always up and the staff is friendly, active, and helpful.
  • There are special "rush wps" added making norm-hell cows take about 20 minutes
  • There is a HUGE PvP arena added in act 1
  • Maphack is allowed and can be downloaded directly from the site.
  • There are many ways to get good items and everyone has an equal chance.
  • Immaturity, botting, scamming, and bad manners are bannable offenses, keeping the realm clean and fun.
  • Characters never expire, so you can take a break, play 1.11 instead, or whatever you want to do and then come back and continue where you left off.
  • Getting rushed is easy since players are rewarded for rushing, and there are even staff members who are assigned to specifically rush you.
  • All hacks aside from maphack are banned.
  • d2Loader is built into the exe and allows you to join the same game with multiple characters.
  • 3 PvP Tournaments EVERY week with amazing prizes
  • A PvP Ladder system maintained by our moderators, with ranks analysis and prizes for the leaders every month.
Ready to play? I bet. Here's what I recommend you do:
Visit our Website: www.RelivedGaming.com
D
ownload the installer (thanks to TK_Incorperate for making it) and install D2R. It's not that difficult, and will make a backup of your original files so you can switch back and forth between Bnet and D2R. Go to the website and familiarize yourself with the rules, reward system, recipes, and other things that you will need to know. I recommend making a sorc as your first character since you will be receiving the free MF Setup which just happens to be for sorcs. Nova, Thunderstorm, and Frozen Orb are the most effective sorc skills in 1.09.? The Mf Setup is craftable with all the items akara sells (pots, tps etc. Get a rush by asking in the channel. Cow, cow, and cow in hell until you reach 99 and that's when you get your rewards and the fun begins. Design your own PvP character and get ready for some old school 1.09 dueling.

Remember this server is fun enough, there will be no need for third party hack software/exploits to be used in this game, nor will they be tolerable!
