I'm curious why did you feel the need to make diablo 2, I mean why not something similar but original?
I think its a shame to put so much time and effort into something that's just a blatant copy.
If this gains a lot of popularity blizzard will be very likely to shut it down, so is it really worth it?
After all this time, the debate was pointless anyway, lol. Wish I had found this earlier, oh well.
Custom Game developers may only re-create the following Blizzard games (including their expansion packs): Blackthorne, The Lost Vikingsｮ I & II, Warcraftｮ: Orcs & Humans? Warcraftｮ II: Tides of Darkness, Warcraftｮ III: Reign of Chaosｮ, World of Warcraftｮ, Diabloｮ, Diabloｮ II, Diabloｮ III, StarCraftｮ and StarCraftｮ: Brood Warｮ.

btw, I never received an email back when emailing Blizzard legal department. But it doesn't matter, this was taken from their acceptable use policy on their website.
Neener neener! Now we can ignore blazed and get back to the mod!
It's been a while since I've been on here, but:
You lack so much brain cells you don't even comprehend the information on the legal site you linked.
The whole site you linked is referring to "Custom games" in Blizzard game, as in the custom game creator, you are allowed to remake diablo using blizzard's editor is all they are saying.
Directly under it:
3. Ownership.
Custom Games are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blizzard. Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title and interest in and to all Custom Games, and agree that should Blizzard decide that it is necessary, you agree to execute future assignments promptly upon receiving such a request from Blizzard.
Now how the f*** can blizzard own a Larian Mod? Makes no sense, there is conflicting copyrights.
"Neener Neener" yourself kid, Looks like this mod is dead anyway.
Blizzard have even changed their T&Cs / EULA that even unqiue ideas that are created in their editors such as DOTA will now be their IP, they did this to avoid what happen with DOTA fiasco.
