Laz's typical Avatar, if you see this, that's Laz.
Median 2008 is a mod for Diablo II Lord of Destruction 1.1 or 1.11 by Brother Laz. It replaces the skill trees with 210 all-new skills; improves monster AI and behaviour; adds 18+1 new difficult uberquests for high level characters; replaces the item system, stats, runes, gems, uniques, sets, and runewords; and adds 3 attribute challenges which reward players for spending fewer stat points, and 2 level challenges which reward players for beating bosses at a low level. Median 2008 is a modification of Diablo II?s single player game which adds new quests, skills, items, and much more! This modification is not meant to be a substitute for unmodified single player; it is merely an alternative mode of play for those who have already beaten the game and are looking for a fresh perspective on things.

*Note - Median XL Alpha is an Alpha release and thus need to be treated as a testing platform, not a playing platform, although you can combine both, and help out the Median community with any bugs / irregularities, etc.

Do take note however, if you're new to Median XL, you might be lost on certain items as the documentations are incomplete in this version. If by any chance you're still new in the Median world, playing Median2008 prior to this is highly recommended. Click here to check out Median2008.

Median 2008, a name which I will never forget. Anybody who used or still playing Diablo2 will know that it is by far an addictive game which makes time fly like you've never seen before. Now, it's not a bad thing that time flies in such a way. If it flies fast, that means you're doing something fun, something interesting, hence why time is like a figment of your imagination, it doesn't even exist. Well enough of my crap, I'm not a "hardcore" Median2008 player myself, but I must admit I've played it vigorously with sleepless nights leveling up my characters, planning my next moves on how should I take on the next uberquests, etc.

With the availability of 7 default characters, the new skill tree created by Brother Laz only means one thing. Multiple new builds to carry you on through 3 difficulty levels. Different cube recipes, which makes you ponder upon more variety of strategies on how you further equip your character.

I don't think I'll be able to cover all the features here as it definitely needs a huge amount of time to get that done. I shall leave that for you to explore and don't forget to read the documentations before you play the game. You might not be able to get "into" them right away, but going through them at first glance should help you to understand some of the new special features that Median 2008 offers.
