Does Diablo 2 Require Game Time Cards? (No — Buy-to-Play Only)

No. Diablo II (2000) and Diablo II: Resurrected (2021) are buy-to-play, not subscription-based.

• Original D2 / LoD: One-time purchase (CD key). Battle.net access free. No monthly fee.
• D2: Resurrected: One-time purchase (~$40). Battle.net account required. No subscription. Online-only (even solo).
• Diablo III: Also buy-to-play (no sub).
• World of Warcraft: This one requires subscription (game time / WoW Token). Not Diablo.

Confusion often arises because both are Blizzard games on Battle.net. Only WoW uses game time.
