Some Diablo II Patch 1.10 Details
The following update, posted on the Blizzard site, reports on an interesting development in Patch 1.10, whose release is not scheduled for several months, perhaps June or July, according to Bill Roper.
We are currently working on a significant Diablo II patch, the full details of which will be released when the patch is ready.
At this time, we can release a few specific details about a new feature in the 1.10 patch. We are introducing a new type of character, called a ladder character. There will now be three types of characters: normal, ladder, and hardcore. All characters created before 1.10 that are not hardcore characters will be considered normal characters. Characters created before 1.10 will not have the option of being ladder characters. You must create a new character after patch 1.10 is released to make it a ladder character.
Characters created before this patch will not be able to join games with these new ladder characters, although they will be able to play with other normal characters that predate the 1.10 patch. This means that for the duration of the ladder season - which is yet to be determined - these ladder characters will exist in a new separate economy from the other Battle.net Diablo II characters.
Amended on 26 April 2002 to read: Characters created before patch 1.10 will not be able to join games with these new ladder characters, although they will be able to play with other normal characters that predate the 1.10 patch or characters created after 1.10 that are not created as ladder characters. This means that for the duration of the ladder season - which is yet to be determined - these ladder characters will exist in a new separate economy from the other Battle.net Diablo II characters.
No legitimate characters or items will be deleted with this patch, although we continue deleting hacked or duped items, as well as characters that are part of accounts used to attack the Battle.net servers.

The update above came on the heels of a posted report on the Battle.net Site, where the following was stated:
We are currently working on a significant patch and update for Diablo II. The exact details of the patch have not yet been finalized, so we are unable to discuss the changes at this time, although we plan to do so in the near future. Our reason for this is that we do not want to disappoint players by issuing information that is still subject to change. As soon as the patch is ready, we will put it up along with the specific modifications found in the patch. We sincerely appreciate the patience and enthusiasm of the Diablo II community during this time.
