Diablo II Chat Log

DiabloII.net has posted a chat log with Blizzard in which they talk about the upcoming v1.10 patch for Diablo II and what it will bring to the game. Check it out:
Q: How will the ladder change with the Patch?

Blizzard: The purpose in 1.10 is to provide a new, clean environment free of twinking. There will be new ladder-only drops of items as well as new Horadric cube recipes. Also, only ladder characters will be eligible for the ladder.

We are still testing patch 1.10 and are really looking at only bugs at this point. We are excited about all the new stuff going in and as SOON as it is ready to release, we will get it out. I wish I could be more specific, but all I can say is that we know everyone wants it NOW (so do we) but it has to be right when it comes out.
