The contest began for all users that had a legitimate registered account (for recovery) for all 5 Realms, and it was a ladder race to be the first to reach level 99.
The first of the ladder seasons began with the initial release of Patch 1.10 on October 28, 2003.Īfter seeing how the first season went down, Blizzard decided to perform its first ladder reset on July 7th, 2004 with a promotional contest called 'When Worlds Collide,' as World of Warcraft was scheduled to be released the following year. This encouraged a lot more cooperative gameplay initially, but as the game aged, gameplay also declined over time. Ladder characters are not allowed to interact with non-ladder characters and vice-versa.
In order to play and get your name on the ladder, you would have to create a new character from scratch and would not have the aid of any characters that were non-ladder. In Diablo II, Ladders were introduced in Patch 1.10. The Ladder is a competitive type of closed realm Multiplayer, hosted on.
