Trivia
On October 28th, 2003, over 2 years after announcing there would be another patch, Blizzard released Patch 1.10 for Diablo II and Lord of Destruction. The patch did not fix bugs, but add many new gameplay features, made the game a lot harder in hell difficulty and made it much harder to achieve level 99 by making it so you could not visit the "Secret Cow Level" more than once and adding penalties to experience gaining. It also added more than 100 new unique items as well as better stats on rare items (such as 400% enhanced damage, which wasn't possible before). It also added new cube recipes, which enabled the player to upgrade their runes even to ZOD runes. The most important change was the addition of the "ladder mode", a special realm which could only be entered by ladder characters - so it was not possible to move the godly items from 1.09 to that realm, giving every player a fair chance to compete on the ladder ranking list. Currently (2004-03-10), there are only 2 chars with level 99 on the Europe realm, a third one could become 99 soon but he did not level for weeks now. This proves that although it is still possible to get level 99, it virtually takes ages.
Another addition was the "World Event" - after selling the much-duped "Stone of Jordan" rings, there was a chance to spawn "Uber Diablo", a beefed-up version of the original monster, which was hard to beat and dropped an unique small charm called "Annihilus" with godly stats. The intention behind this seemed to get rid of all the duped rings, that's the reason why there were a lot of World Events taking place shortly after the patch, another batch was after the discovery on how it worked exactly and after this, there were virtually none.
