Phwaor this one will bite hard for quite a few people, but it seems that Blizzard are planning on resetting the battlenet diabloII ladders to give current players a chance to get on the board. Of course if you had sense you would be playing on qgl's open battlenet server rather than some server in the states, but of course there will be a few out there that don't:

On January 1, 2001 at 12:01 a.m. PT, the Diablo II Standard and Hardcore Ladders will be reset signifying the start of the new season. All characters created before January 1, 2001 will no longer appear on the Ladder. If you wish to be on the Diablo II Ladder after this date you will have to create a new character following the reset. The Diablo II Ladder reset will not otherwise affect any existing characters and no characters will be deleted. The Battle.net site will list the top 10 Ladder players on each ladder for each Realm. The new Ladder season does not have a final ending date however it is probable that the next Ladder reset will occur when the Diablo II Expansion is released.

Of course this could be a good excuse to get back into diabloII just to shake up the ladder a bit, check it out on Battle.net
