Since some are making "easy to guess password" private games and some folks join and ninja loot their stuff, private games will no longer be shown on the realm status page. I should have done that way before, sorry for those concerned.

Duff I just want to let you know that I made about 50+ farming games with this order x1/1, x2/2 etc, and as soon as I went to mule the guy showed up.

I've played HU for awhile now and consider myself highly active on and off, this has only happened 2 times I think, counting this time. First time someone admitted to looking at realm status like last season I think.

Do you really think this guy was eyeing down realm status though?

We'll see ! The guy has been ipban + all accounts locked. If someone show up again joining private games without being one of your friends, let me know. IDK why but it never happened to me, he saw DuFFBeeR as creator of the game ?

whats the name of that guy? i had a priv game a moment ago and someone joined it

Multiple account names ... last one was cybertengi.

ya that was him

It's sad people have to be so lame. Many will help others just because. People like that ruin it for the rest of us.

Noticed a problem with this... no longer possible to see if you get stuck in a private game..

I always look at those things this way. If it only costs the 50 bucks stolen from my wallet to never see you again. Fine. Thank you. Good bye.

True, fixed it. Password protected games will now show its name as (hidden).

For those who still get shit robbed, just use instabtly the command /whois "charname" and that will tell you the acc name, and with that, even if he deletes char the ip can be banned.

example: cibertengu and cibertengi /whois both on game and see if he is the same guy.

Thanks Duff. Didn't even think about it until I dropped and just assumed I was stuck lol.

someone had mentioned in the chat lastnight that /games still displays all games.. public or private..

this is how the loser is still joining games and looting peoples goods.. it happened to my friend lastnight

maybe remove the feature /games

you can no longer see what the games are called but you can see that a person has made a private game

Actually, it was /con because /games don't show private games but /con did. And yes, that feature has been disabled (don't know why it was enabled anyway).

awesome thanks duff!!

If you want to mule but dont want to risk losing items due to dropped games or evil players, use multiple D2 instances, with sandboxie for example.

A simple loader can do the job pretty well.

Rename your current Diablo II.exe to Diablo II.exe.bak and use this file instead. You can now run multiple instances of D2.
