It should, perhaps, be noted that players can now fairly easily drop others from a game (basically by attempting the patched dupe method), and some players who play without dupes and are hostile towards those who do will, on occasion, drop games for the sole purpose of preventing dupe users from 'perming' before they leave the game, causing many of their duped items to be deleted by the 'passive' Rust Storm. The ladder was reset twice in two years, the first being in July 7, 2004, at which time a batch of new 'ladder-only' rune words were released a few months into the second ladder season. The Druid specialises in nature-based magic, which provide a very large spectrum of possible character types. When enough Stone of Jordan rings had been sold back to NPC's on a server, Uber Diablo would appear, dropping a powerful unique Annihilus charm upon death. During this period, known as Ladder Season 2, there was a competition race held by Blizzard to get to Level 99 first for each realm this was one of the few events Blizzard held for Diablo II.

Armageddon is also notable in that it is the only skill in the game that requires each and every other skill in the tree, including Hurricane, which is also a level 30 spell. Attacking with a charge-up skill builds up charges on the Assassin, up to three per skill, and then the finishing move releases the charges in a single powerful blow. Patch 1.14b fixed glide support, Mac crashes on exit, and Act V localization issues in German, and capped frame rate at 200 to save battery and avoid overheating.
