   Blizzard loves me again!
  I just noticed my 4 Diablo II CD keys (I had to let my brother play, and I had to follow myself around for the extra experience and quest rewards, and to speed up muling and to get my items back if I died in hardcore. Oh yeah, I played it way too much. . .) have been unbanned. Now I can waste another few thousands hours mindlessly killing monster after monster. Yay!It's kind of funny, because only last week my brother decided to buy another copy. Too bad they only allow 4 connections per IP address.If you don't see me ever again, that's the reason. Or, if you're as hopelessly addicted to this game as I am and see smariot@USEast, be sure to say hi.If anyone else wants to violate an EULA, be sure not to get caught!Runs off, never to be seen again. . .
  and what were you banned for?   ;  Making modifications to my client. Specifically, trying to make it so I could control it remotely from another computer. I managed to make my character move and say stuff, and send over stats, but it would randomly crash when I tried to read map data. The goal was to have that one program controlling all my copies of the game at once.. . .I just beat Andy and then the server crashed and so now it's magically like none of what I did happened. That's some damn fine quality of service.   ;Quote:Original post by smart_idiotI just beat Andy and then the server crashed and so now it's magically like none of what I did happened. That's some damn fine quality of service.But you're still unbanned correct? [grin] I myself have had two episodes of playing too much D2. The first one was in highschool, 12th grade I think. I played sooo much it's not funny. (Version 1.09 mind you) At first, it was lots of fun, but over time it all degraded into the capitalist D2 world. There was less and less 'playing for fun' and more MFing (Magic Finding). Finally, I too decided to take an action along the lines of that smart_idiot above me. I didn't get banned, but I lost my MFing account, which had 1 excelent sorceress on it, like 1100+% MF. Ahh the good times. Anyways I quit playing after that for a few years, until maybe less then 8 months ago, for version 1.10, around the time when the ladder was supposed to be reset for season 2. This time I was content on not doing anything naughty lol, so I played fair, and good thing because all of the people that tried to use a tool that violated the EULA, all got CD key banned. By that time though, I had started ladder and was in the top ranks, around level 81 then I got tired of it again, all the fun was gone. Sure there were new items and new abilities, but ehh..same old stuff.So I'm waiting around, hoping for D3 one day to waste even more of my life...   ;  every time i pull out D2 my computer takes a shit and i reformat, only to forget the account/password :D  they may as well have banned me, cause it would have saved me a lot of wasted time.   ;Quote:Original post by smart_idiotI just beat Andy and then the server crashed and so now it's magically like none of what I did happened. That's some damn fine quality of service.The servers have been really laggy lately.  It was especially bad today :(.  There was one point where nobody on USEast could create or join a game.  Also if you haven't played for a while, check out the new stuff (world events) that blizz added in the patches.
