Max Level 60 Actually Makes Sense
      

  check d2 ladder alot of lv 99 players on that list.Yes, ladder is a fun race to 99. And did they stop playing when they hit 99 because that's the reason to play?Racing to 99 being a fun diversion in a 10 year old game does not mean it's the main point of replayability, or even a moderate one.
