Diablo II uses a new connection type that was not supported before bnetd version 0.4.23. Later versions support this feature. If you are already running 0.4.23 or later but still have problems, see the next paragraph. With patch 1.08 of Diablo II, Blizzard changed its CD Key authentification (again). Release 0.4.25pre3 and earlier don't unterstand the new packet type. Later releases should handle this properly (try the nightly CVS build if you wish to test the fix before the next release).

It is a specially tailored trading environment designed for Diablo II where game items can be exchanged for other game items or auctioned for in-game currency.

Yes, we have four different types of crossbows. Crossbows require Crossbow Bolts in order to be used.

There will be 50-80 monsters in Diablo II. Add to that the fact that most monsters will have several skin (palette) variations, you will be faced with over 100 monsters in Diablo II.

The Diablo II chat gem is an intricate feature in the Battle.net chat interface. When you click on it a message appears saying : "Chat gem activated" and when you do it again it says : "Chat gem deactivated".

No, not for any reason. Not even if another basiner asks you for it. Tell them to go see the WeaselTech? page instead. This is for security reasons, to prevent those not members of our guild to come and possibly harm players or steal their items. The password is a bit like a door to our games if you will. There are stand-alone Battle.net programs that let you simply be in the chat, but B.net prevents them from joining private channels, and "op theamazonbasin" is a private channel.

Yes. However, instead of dropping to the ground where anyone could then pick it up, your items will remain on your corpse. Any gold you are carrying at the time of death drops to the ground.

Legacy will be shipped to stores on November 21, 2006. It will be released in Europe in December 2006.

The Amazon Basin wants to promote a cheat-free environment. Traders, while normally harmless, could eventually bring spam, hacked items, and lead to other abusive behaviors we do not want to see. This is why we restrict it. Don't worry, Basiners are usually generous enough to help you if you lack decent gear. You won't need to rely on selling once you discover generosity!

It depends, but generally whether a player takes advantage of a bug or imbalance inherent in the current Diablo II version is left to each player's own judgment and sense of ethics.

Yes, you may always able to play with the backup cd, and if you copy those necessary data files (.MPQ file, e.g: d2char.mpq d2music.mpq, d2xmusic.mpq d2xvideo.mpq ) into your Diablo II directory.

it was said earlier that IE7 was intended to be released same time as Longhorn (q4 2006) but I got the impression it was moved forward,

Membership from one guild is carried to the majority of the others as long as prerequisites are met. This new policy applies in the Main Boards, Star Wars: Galaxies, Neverwinter Nights, Horizons, World of Warcraft and all new forthcoming guilds. But you must apply separately if it concerns any of the older guilds (in Diablo II you can't "ask" for membership -- see question #37).

From time to time, despite the best planning, the game publishers need to delay the release of an already announced game. This can be for any number of reasons, and is outside of our control. However, we aim to keep you up to date on this on our website. All trademarks, logos, images, product and company names referred to on this website are the property of their respective owners.

PlaneShift is a free and non-profit project, and so our release dates are difficult to define. We are now working for next minor release, but we cannot yet give you release date for the final product.

The US release for the Nino 301 and 312 will occur in late June. The Nino 320 has been delayed due to issues with the click-on modem and will see an August release date. Canadian release dates should be the same as the US dates. As for other countries, I do not have release date estimates. I would imagine that they will occur a month or two after the US release.

We don't have a specific date yet, but it will be on store shelves Fall 2001. - NOTE: Changed to February 2002. We evaluate all of our titles for the possibility of an expansion pack or follow up game and we will do so once Renegade is complete. Right now we're just trying to finish Renegade and make it a great game before we go down that path.

Nope. As a matter of company policy, no Cumberland title gets a release date until it's essentially finished. Since there's still at least one major round of playtest left, and since I take playtest very seriously (it could, at least theoretically, result in major redrafting requirements), there's no way to set and keep a release date without being half-assed about testing and development. Also, I've never done production, layout and indexing on a project this size, and I intend a superb index.
