I seriously loved Diablo II. I never played it online, but I loved the single player. I never actually beat it though. I think I got a decent way in to Act 3 and that's about it. I think I briefly played Lord of Destruction as the Assassin, but I stopped because I was terrible with her and basically got stuck. I dropped the game entirely for a while and eventually reinstalled it. At that point I had lost my CD key for Lord of Destruction so I couldn't install the expansion, so I rolled Barbarian and started effing stuff up.

I know they announced that they would be removing it, but I thought that wasn't until like March next year? Did they end up removing it sooner than planned? Regardless, I'm really glad they decided to remove it. The auction house was the main reason why I returned the game and got a refund. I was seriously disappointed in Blizzard for cramming the thing in there and basically forcing players to use it if they wanted to get better gear. To this day I still think they rigged drop rates and crafting to push players in to using it.
Anyway, if I ever need a game like Diablo, I'll just load up Torchlight II. It's made by Runic Games, which has Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer (co-founders of Blizzard North, which is famous for creating Diablo) and is in my opinion vastly superior to Diablo III.

Actually, it's considered a hack and slash on top of being an RPG. Just not in the same vein as games like God of War or Darksiders.
