To mitigate server impact and protect server stability of the game during the launch window, we plan to have Ladder rankings and listings to be implemented shortly after launch. It’s not a gigantic issue, but it is a disappointment to players who just like to play with something at stake.Īccording to Blizzard, the idea behind staggering the Ladder launch is to mitigate server issues, and Ladder should be enabled some time after launch. This will lead many players to start over when it does come out, or it’ll just encourage players to hold off entirely. What we do know is the game launched without Ladder play, so while you’ll still be able to play online, you won’t be doing it with a leaderboard.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many details about it from Blizzard themselves about a concrete release date, so we’re left scraping the little bit of information we do have in order to piece something together. However, fans will quickly realize that Ladder is available in D2R at launch, and that has led many to wonder when it will go live. This is something that applies to both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, and Diablo 2: Resurrected is reviving Ladder play for a brand new generation.

A big part of playing Diablo for many fans is the online aspect where you get to race up the leaderboards and compete with other players.
