Ringo | Ok, so a little desc of how I self pwned my self today: I run a D2 bot for the mass's, so they can level up, leach items etc. Have run a public game runner for the mass's for a few years now, even tho I dont play d2. I added full new-warden support to it about a week ago. Today, I got the error "Character not found", even tho my character is still on the main screen.. So, I wrote a email to blizzard about it, playing the legit guy. [quote=martyt.support@blizzard] Hello Rob, Thank you for contacting Blizzard Entertainment. We have checked your character and attempted to repair the reported issue. Regrettably, our attempts to repair the character were unsuccessful. With any character corruption, an attempt to restore the character to a previous date before the corruption occurred is made. In this case our attempts did not repair the issues affecting the character. The affected character will unfortunately no longer be able to be used in-game. We sincerely apologize for the loss of the character, and any inconvenience this has caused you. The character will remain on the character selection screen until manually deleted. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to contact me at: MartyT.Support@Blizzard.com. Regards, Marty T. [/quote] So, me trying to act like any legit player would when they lost a lvl 99 account, I replyed with a little pretend rant, hoping to probe more info: [quote=Ringo] omg really? :(((( He was lvl 99!!!! I spent months playing him and now he is gone? Now I have no items... no character.. no nothing :( Are you sure it's not possible to repair him? And if I spend months of my life making another character, what's to say the same thing wont happen again? I guess, more to the point, why did this happen in the first place? Sry if I sound angry, but.. i'm angry :( Plz respond, thanks. [/quote] I should be an actor, yeah?! ok maybe not. Anyway, he replyed with this: [quote=martyt.support@blizzard] Hello Rob, When I can't repair a character, it's usually due to corruption from utilizing third party programs or bots. I suggest you remove any you might be using. The affected character will unfortunately no longer be able to be used in-game. We sincerely apologize for the loss of the character, and any inconvenience this has caused you. The character will remain on the character selection screen until manually deleted. If there is anything else I can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to contact me at:MartyT.Support@Blizzard.com. Regards, Marty T. [/quote] Now for the part where I totaly self pwned my self.

[18:35:28] <Ringo> nah lol [18:35:39] <Ringo> my d2 bots connect to bnet, query the realm, logon the realm, then disconnect from bnet [18:35:48] <Noob_tHiEF> ahh [18:35:52] <Ringo> then play a bunch of games on realm, and do all again when they switch cdkey [18:35:59] <Ringo> so it never really enters bnet chat before it discs :) [18:36:11] <Ringo> probly hasnt even 1 week logon time tbh [18:36:25] <Ringo> only the time ive spent muleing manualy on d2 lol [18:37:29] <Ringo> feking blizzard tbh [18:37:37] <Ringo> I have like another 20 palas i could run on bot [18:37:46] <Ringo> but a) the same thing could happen to them [18:37:52] <Ringo> and b) they dont have dindin in their names [18:37:59] <Noob_tHiEF> lol [18:38:31] <Ringo> plus none of them have the correct items :p [18:38:49] <Ringo> and my d2 jsp acc got disabled, so i dont have anything to trade with, unless i start up all my d2 bots again *sigh* [18:38:53] <Noob_tHiEF> why did the char fuck up? [18:39:19] <Ringo> no idea [18:39:25] <Ringo> I think its a rare bug their end [18:39:41] <Ringo> very rarely, when the character file is saving, somthing fucks up and currupts it [18:45:10] <Ringo> oh oh, i got a responce from martyT about my pretend moaning [18:45:43] <Ringo> When I can't repair a character, it's usually due to corruption from utilizing third party programs or bots.

Spht | Silly ringo, should be using botnet or statchat for such conversations | December 16, 2008, 10:20 PM |
Explicit[nK] | Your conversation should have been encrypted into either hex, or base-64. The latter would have been more effective, or so I would hope. Too late though. :( Did you not learn from the mighty ones of the past? Why do you think they included chat encryption in their bots? :P I'm just kidding, of course. | December 17, 2008, 2:29 AM |
Matt | MartyT is such a douche .. :-| | December 17, 2008, 8:09 PM |
iago | [quote author=Explicit link=topic=17752.msg180850#msg180850 date=1229480979] Your conversation should have been encrypted into either hex, or base-64. [/quote] Not encryption! | December 17, 2008, 8:14 PM |
