| HeRo | A good number of people are saying you can still connect to it some how. Is this true? If so, how? | February 28, 2006, 8:14 AM |
| FrOzeN | I think there removing it from each server one by one (USEast being the first hit). Though, I just tried connecting to USWest/USEast/Asia/Europe and it connected fine but no data was recieved even after sending everything correctly. So I think they may have closed it down completely now. | February 28, 2006, 9:03 AM |
| LordNevar | Telnet connections are no longer supported on any realm. I guess they finally got around to closing that port :-X. There is no work around to this besides logging on using a hashed connection or the client. There is a supposed work around to this, but if this was the case than why are there no chat bots logged on using it? Also even if this was the case I would have to say that B.net would not tolerate it and fix it accordingly. They probably have a good reason for this, and don't want chat based connections anymore. | February 28, 2006, 11:05 AM |
| JoeTheOdd | They got tired of seeing the massload chat bots, and not being able to ban the (nonexistant) keys. Way to go Tazo! EDIT - In Blizzard TS. | February 28, 2006, 1:08 PM |

[/quote] Telnet connections used the same port as the game client would use. You now receive this when using C, but CTRL+C doesn't work at all: [quote] This is a Battle.net server Your IP address is [24.13.195.145] [/quote] | February 28, 2006, 4:31 PM |
| Yegg | All last night I'd been trying to get a test Scheme source to connect to Battle.net through telnet and login. I kept thinking I was doing something incorrectly because the program would connect, but data could not be sent. | February 28, 2006, 9:20 PM |
| dRAgoN | Sounds like a promotion to the binary bot developers. | February 28, 2006, 11:29 PM |
