Years ago, the Heroes of Torchlight saved the world from the ancient evil, Ordrak. Now someone has stolen the essence of his power, and is using it to siphon off the power of the world's elemental Guardians. After witnessing the destruction wrought by this terrible artifact, the players begin a quest to stop the villain's insane plan and restore balance to the six elements. The trail leads from the beleaguered Estherian Steppes, through the war-torn Mana Wastes, and finally the haunted ruins of an ancient dwarven civilization, before descending to a realm where no mortal has set foot for thousands of years—and where an even more terrible evil struggles to unleash itself upon the world.

It's difficult to quantify exactly, but Torchlight II is a much bigger game than Torchlight, with vast overland areas and multiple town hubs. We've highlighted some of the differences in Size Matters: Travis Talks About Scale.

We have no plans to create a Runic-hosted closed server system at this time. However, we may at some point offer support for standalone, player-hosted servers in the future, but no promises today. The best way to ensure that you don't interact with cheaters is to password-lock your game and play with your friends.
