Now here is where I got a little confused and weirded out. 'Please insert the Diablo 2 CD labelled 'Play Disc''. And after about 2 minuets or less I could hear my CD Drive slow down and the little light on it would blink allot and then it said again. Then afterwords it said 'Please insert the Diablo 2 CD labelled 'Play Disc'', So I did. So I put in my Diablo 2 : LoD CD and it said 'Upgrade to Diablo II : Lord of Destruction (800 MB)' And I clicked it and put in my CD key for LoD. So then I got off Diablo 2 regular and then I wanted to install the Expansion (Lord of Destruction = LoD). And after installing it I opened the game and got all of the updates to version 1.12 I think it was. So I went to my computer and successfully installed Diablo 2 Regular (Full Install) with the 3 CDs that came with the box (Install Disc, Play Disc and Cinematic's Disc). So what I did is I went into my closet and dusted off the old game and started to install it on my computer (I have the Diablo 2 Regular and Diablo 2 : Lord of Destruction genuine cd's and CD-Keys, no copies or cracks here). The recent Diablo 3 announcement got me really into Diablo 2 again. Maybe it's been available already and I just missed it.Ok. But Diablo (2) fans/collectors might really like analyzing this item which used to be in collectors hands only up until now.as far as I know. It only installs on a retail Diablo2 (without LoD) installation.Īs it's just a beta, it's not playable anymore, so this might not be exciting for most people. I recieved the iso image from him and it really is the Lord of Destruction beta disc. He also had proof (unlike the previous self proclaimed lod beta testers) and didn't ask for much in return.

I was contacted by a beta tester, who still had his disc and wanted to share it.

I had almost forgotten about it, until a couple of weeks ago, when I had to relaunch the website under a new domain. Over the years I came in contact with a couple of people who claimed to have it, but in the end nothing was accomplished. One thing I couldn't find anywhere was the Diablo2 expansion beta. While working on the Diablo Evolution website I got a lot of pre-release material for Diablo1 and 2.
