What is Median XL?

On a graphical basis of Diablo 2, which is the only thing kept in the game, Median Xl has completely recreated the classes, enemies and content of the game. You can therefore find dungeons, rifts, class trees, craft and items there. with immense depth allowing you to spend hundreds of hours there without having been around.

Median XL is not Diablo 2, it's totally different, we can consider it a full-fledged Slash Hack with "the same head as Diablo 2". You can forget everything you know about D2, it won't help you! If you want to dive into a Hack & Slash, it will meet your expectations.

Thanks to Shoki for the precision, the lore is indeed that of Diablo, especially the added dungeons, bosses and rifts!

Median XL, who is it for?

Median XL is for players who like to try hard. Median XL is tough, so you'll have to invest in the game in order to be able to enjoy it. Median XL is aimed primarily at PvE fans, it compensates for Diablo 2's lack of PvE with a huge addition of high-difficulty endgame content. Graphics are vintage, don't expect any styling from Diablo 2 Resurrected.

If you like difficulty, PvE, and aren't looking at graphics, this will be for you.

Median XL or Diablo 2 Resurrected?

I address this point because it was in commentary on Discord, the two games have nothing to do concretely, except that they are both Hack & Slash.

  • If you want to play Diablo 2 with sexy graphics: D2R
  • If you want to play Hack & Slash with a lot of PvE: D2 Median

Median XL is it a mode or a game?

Median XL is a game, you could call it mode because it is based on Diablo 2, but it has everything of a standalone game including its own servers and a season system. You can therefore play Median XL like any other game once installed, meet your friends and other players and participate in the new season.

Why August 27?

Median XL is updated very frequently, much like Path of Exile, to a lesser extent. So you have a season system that coincides with the new seasons. Friday August 27 is a very big update, 2.0, as well as the start of the new season. It is therefore ideal to start or restart the game!

What to expect with version 2.0?

Version 2.0 will bring a lot of content, for example:

  • new class skill trees
  • new crafting system
  • new endgame content
  • improved interfaces

How to play it?

In order to play Median XL, you must have updated Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction. Note that the servers are those of Median XL, so you will not need several keys if you want to play with friends.

  1. Install Diablo 2 then Diablo 2 LOD with a valid cd key via download and not by CD
    1. there is a script error and windows is blocking the download at first, this is normal
  2. Launch Diablo 2 LOD and verify that you are in version 1.14b at the bottom left (at least in 1.13c)
    1. note that battle.net did not work on my side, but that's okay
  3. Optional: pass the key to one of your friends, you will no longer need it for Median Xl
  4. Download the Median Xl launcher and install it, when it offers you a location choose your Diablo 2 location
  5. When done click play, multiplayer, The Sin War, Create New Account, you can play!
  6. Always use Median Xl launcher to play the game
