Most likely yes. That's the only way to keep cheaters from coming back(unless they buy a new copy).

 

[josphII]

Theres ultra haxed items (hex, ith, white... just goto ebay and take a look for these) Theres also duping and good old maphack.

I've been playing without hax since the start of diablo. Theres just no need after you get a feel for everything.

CD keys are only banned after being caught multiple times.

I find it amusing that Blizzard is taking "strong" stand on anti-hacking. Yet, if you go to Ebay you'll see MILLIONS and MILLIONS of hacked items being sold ON THEIR PROPERTY. Blizzard is supplying "the means" for all these hacked items to be sold. How else do you think the sellers and buyers do their transaction? Ship the hacked items thru UPS? All I am saying is they are doing a half-ass job.

Well, my Zon with 2000 str/dex/vit is still there... so Diablo 2 shall continue to be a dumb hacked up game until they decide to put a stand against hacks.

There's nothing wrong with selling such items legitimately IMO, and there's not really anything Blizzard can do anyhow. The money gets transacted through eBay, and all Blizzard sees are two players trading.

Thats nice... but 112,000 just a drop in the bucket. There are a lot more out there.

 

[Dacalo]

I played it a lot when it first came out but haven't played it for years

true.

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

Out of this whole thread what amazes me the most is that people buy and sell items for a video game.. on ebay.. FOR MONEY.

 

[Chaotic42]

Wow, I played Diablo 2 for like a week and got bored with it. It's not fun unless you're at a lan.

how do they know which cd-keys to ban? what if you play on a friends computer?

 

[Ylen13]

that will not keep people from cheating and i pretty sure someone have created cd key maker to creat a legal cd.

 

[0roo0roo]

i stopped playing because after u beat it a couple times.. ur just clicking your time away

*smacks Ylen*

Much better. Now, it is in theory not possible to come up with a keygen that can generate valid keys for an online game such as Diablo, Warcraft, Quake 3, etc. The key here is that while the clients veryify keys, they do not know the whole fomula used to generate keys, so they'll pass both valid keys, and invalid(to the server) keys. Because a client can be reverse-engineered, it is possible to figure out the formula it knows, but not the whole formula, since none of the crackers have direct access to the master server to see the complete formula. Because of that, baring a stroke of luck, the best that can be done is a brute-force attack of different keys against the master server, in order to see which keys are valid, but with the keyspace out there, that's statistically impossible to pull off. No one has yet to defeat the Q3 master system, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true for the Diablo master system too.

PS 5489, my guess is that they just have a master black-list. So if your friend has a different key, he can still play, but if you use that key to cheat, and it gets black-listed too, then neither of you can play. It's technologically impossible to keep a person from playing, as they can always acquire another key by buying another copy(or proxy to defeat IP blacklists, disposable CCs to defeat CC blacklists, etc), but you can still discourage them

I remember joining a game and this dude was running around popping all the chests open! I got some ,phat lewtz. Seems cool but it really did contribute to runining the game. They should just patch up all the hacks, look at EverQuest...there arent any hacks for that, just ShowEQ and I dont even know if that works any more. Wipe all the accounts and start fresh after that

I do hope they come out with a Diablo 3, though.

 

[leung324]

guess what? after I read this thread, I just take a look on my bro's screen. he is NOT using maphack anymore
lol
