I can see where they're coming from, as an extra hurdle to prevent hacking because we all know the deplorable state of affairs on the Diablo 2 servers.

Do I agree with it? Hell no, but because of the massive hacking and cheating on Battle.net, they have to act as nanny. And I believe that some have stated that there are single player mods already.

It's a shame I stopped writing my module for NWN. They *encourage* you to play with the damn game mechanics.
