Why do they have no problem bringing back other older games but not WoW? :(

I wanted a D2 remaster... And as it's a part of an event, so I believe it's limited?

Because its not as a big effort as remaking and hosting Vanilla obviously.

Because remaking a diablo game wont take people away from any other Blizzard IP. Blizzard doesn't want to make a legacy wow since it will take players away from the retail game. Essentially creating two games and deluding the pool of players. Since MMO's are about having people around Blizzard is scared. Of course Blizzard doesn't seem to understand the game already has four player pools. The old, the new, the inbetween and those that want to try vanilla.

WoW requires a lot of care & feeding from GM's, systems maintenance, devs to set everything up, etc. Not to mention, the game is 12 years old & people have a laundry list of exploits+shortcuts, it will take an ongoing effort to thwart all of that and control the secondary market of gold farmers, leveling services, preventing account sharing, etc. etc...

Well no, they're doing a diablo 1 themed dungeon inside diablo 3 which lasts for about a month every year, which is a bit different.
Could even say that the gimmicks they use in that dungeon to be retro says that they have no clue what made D1/D2 succesful
