![]() ![]() We will be working backwards in time from the latest post down to the oldest post. Let's take a look at the contents of the link. The notes in these patches and the dates they were released are interesting because they are all changes that would be available as part of the 1.08 patch notes. We also know from these posts made by Blizzard, that there were several 1.4X releases, and we know what the patch notes were as well. We also know that people also got Patch 1.08 on the same day if they connected to (Since it was the day 1 patch).įollowing that, we know that the build number for the version of the 1.07 Beta that GalaXyHaXz successfully reversed engineered was 1.07.41. ![]() We know that the Release Date for when people got 1.07 was on the LOD launch day: June 27, 2001. So this makes us wonder, how did this development timeline actually happened between 1.07 (CD Version) vs 1.08 ( Day 1 Version)? Was the D2 LOD Beta happening in the meantime? Are there any other patch notes available out there between this period of time? Let's dig deeper. Thus, Blizzard probably sent a "relatively stable enough" build of the game to the production companies for mass production, and in the meantime, Blizzard could spend the next few months finishing up as much as they could by launch date (Hence the Day 1 Update on : 1.08). Normally a company would need to provide some sort of "Gold Image" to the manufacturers so that they could mass produce the physical disks that would need to eventually be shipped out worldwide, and land in store shelves, by launch day. I'm sure that the reason for this is simply due to the production and manufacturing process. We also know that it was only available to be played on Single Player since as soon as you connected to, you would be upgraded to 1.08. So we all know that Patch 1.07 was the first expansion version that came on the CD and that there were many incomplete parts of the game still (i.e TC, MF, Runewords, Etc), that there were many bugs in the game, and that the game overall felt a bit beta-ish. ![]()
