When does the Diablo 2: Resurrected ladder season 10 reset start?

The ladder will reset for Diablo 2: Resurrected season 10 starting March 7. for players in most of the Western Hemisphere, or March 8 for players in the Eastern Hemisphere. The ladder will usually reset every three to four months, so after season 9 reset in early December, we anticipated a reset date later in March — March 7 seems a little early, so we’re wondering if they’re maybe speeding up the reset cadence just a bit.

Ladder Season 10 will be another global release, which means that both the date and the specific times mentioned are important. A global release means that the servers open for everyone around the world at the same moment, even if the time displayed on the clock in their time zone is very different. As such, the start time will bridge two calendar days, because that’s how international time zones work. In this case, March 7 at 5 pm PT is 8 pm ET, which is also March 8, 2 am CET in Europe, and March 8, 10 am in Seoul.

D2:R Ladder Seasons basically mimic the conditions of a brand new release of the game. It is a fresh start, with a level one character on one of four different types of servers:

• Classic means you want to play through the first four acts of Diablo 2 originally released with the title.
• Hardcore Classic is the same as Classic, but you are playing a Hardcore character where death is permanent.
• Expansion characters have access to play through the first four acts from Diablo 2 and Act 5 from the Lord of Destruction expansion.
• Hardcore Expansion combine the Expansion experience (all five acts) with Hardcore play (single character life and perma-death). Not for the faint of heart.

The object of a D2:R Ladder Season is to race to level 99 as fast as possible, and in so doing secure your spot on the leaderboard — and eternal glory, of course. That’s why, for many, not only the release date, but the very specific time is important.

Best of luck to everyone beginning their new characters in Ladder Season 10!
