you say its not account bound so anyone can get my keys registered on their account ? I searched the key envelop from trash :dead_NF: burnt.
That is correct. It is not account bound. You only virtually own the D2 keys/game in your Battle.net account management page. :p If someone else knows your key (in this case G2A seller), they can install the game using your key and play online just like that. And in such case, when you login to a particular realm you will get "CD-Key in use" error and won't be able to connect. Let's hope it doesn't happen for you. :) I know this because I have purchased about 5 sets (D2+LoD) keys so far from illegal channels and out of which only one set survived till date. Keys will always be in use by some other fellow when i try to login. That is how I ended up playing in Europe (in 2003) in the first place as that first key was not in use in Europe only, thus all characters got built up in Europe. After a while, key gets banned by Blizzard for misuse. Then I purchase again from those key selling sites. Key banned after few months. The last set of keys that survived is still working but some spammers used that set and spammed the chat channels and people might have reported. So Blizzard "muted" this set. Even though I "owned" this keyset in one of my Battle.net accounts, I couldn't get BlizzardCS to unmute it and prove that I did not spam. I can chat only in-game now and cannot whisper/PM to anyone using this keyset.

Thanks to D3 Collector's Edition, I finally got a legit official clean D2 set for free. :)

SC2, D3, WoW and ofcourse the latest Overwatch are all Battle.net 2.0 protected and hence no issues once you claim the key in account. (Like Steam)

PS: D2 keys are not bound to game accounts as well i.e. you install D2+LoD on your PC using a keyset. You can create 10 different game accounts in Europe realm using 10 different emails and use the same license to play in all 10 accounts (thereby you get 80 character slots altogether). Hope you know that. Their licensing mechanism before Bnet 2.0 is totally not thought through man. :)

Guys still play d2?
Yes!!! :) You need to keep your characters alive by logging in at least once in 90 days, else they get deleted. So 12+ years here and still retaining all of em. :D Two weeks back I logged in just for checking the characters (in all accounts and mule accounts) but ended up trading some items for PayPal and then ended up playing for 3 hours as some guy offered some items in return for a quick rush.

This applies to sc1 set too? I plan to buy them some day..
Yes, same for all classic games that are not part of the current Battle.net DRM. If you buy from a unauthorized channel, you maybe able to add in your Bnet account online or you may not. In Alok's case, he was able to add means, nobody has added that yet and hopefully the seller doesn't disclose that key to anyone else. Diablo 1 does not have a CD-key at all. Just the disc. SC1 has a key that can be added to Battle.net account but of no use technically because of reasons said before.

If you want SC1 get the official retail package like the one below and you should be free from all worries is what I'm saying. Don't get from key sellers. Just took these off my showcase to click. Those Diablo Battle Chests are unopened. I know I am crazy. :D :D These are feast for my eyes.

No man, I played Viktor Vran and Grim Dawn.. GD has authentic diablo feel to it, just like Path of Exile minus the shitty currency system..
GD took PoE's idea of skill tree and made it even better with the Divine point system.. GD is basically an amalgamation of Diablo II and PoE..
Also, you can have 2 classes instead of 1.. like Soldier + Occultist = Witchblade etc
The only negative id say about GD is that Legendary drops start from level 50, and when I completed the game for the first time, I was level 51.. So its meant to be played multiple times for the "full" experience.
IMO they should have included legendary in some way ..

If anyone plans to buy any Otakumaker bundles, please post here first so we can group buy. Their 5 x bundles package for $3 seems to be of good value in general.
