The easiest way to connect to our server is by installing this windows® regfile.

After installed, there is a new "D2 Maniacs" gateway entry beside the official gateway entries.

Select the "D2 Maniacs" gateway and press the "Battle.Net" button to connect to our server.

Another often used method is the use of a "Gateway Editor".
If you don't have such GatewayEditor, you can download here an windows GatewayEditor or an MAC GatewayEditor.

(The following sample describes the windows version)

Start the Gateway-Editor, choose the game for which you want to add a gateway and then press the "Add Gateway" button.

Enter the following data into the "Add Gateway" window:
Name = D2 Maniacs
Zone = -1
IP = pvpgn.d2maniacs.org (or IP: "87.98.244.191")

At last, mark the "D2 Maniacs" entry and press the "Set to Chosen Gateway" button.

Now after starting the Game, the preselected Gateway should be "D2 Maniacs". Go on and start the battle.

When reached the "Character selection Screen", don't forget to choose the right realm (MOD) in the top right edge.
