Finally a Dupe

[Dark.Zero]

so this realy works only if you see the massage??? if so when will the next message come be i want to dupe my enig and anni and such

[Manji]

I could have told you that this doesn't work, and that it hasn't worked in years. The reason is that "rollbacks" were at one time, within the first few versions of diablo II, time-based, and therefore you could get those same items back after 5 minutes of remaining in a closing server, while the other guys isnt rolled back because he is logged out. However, they changed that rather quickly and made the rollbacks save-based, meaning that since the game saves every time someone enters or leaves the server, your character will only be rolled back to the most recent save, and the items cannot be duped in any way in this method (if you really think long and hard about it :P). I don't know why so many people think this still works, but this is why it doesn't.

ahh see i didnt think it could work

[link[km]]

IMM SORY ABOUT TEH WHOLE NOT WORKNG THNG BUT PLZ TRY 2 US3 GRMMAR!!!1 WTF LOL

[xxenycexx]

ya ive heard of that dupe but i didnt think it work at all

[Skyclad]

The only current public dupe involves crashing a server, which is a sure way to get yourself banned.

There are private dupes around still, looking at how runes are flooding the market again on several realms.

[sXp]

Hope no dupes will be soon on the market so the game can be much clearer without this (wrong use of words) thing

[Dark.Zero]

This dupe does not work anymore.

for sure the dupe dosent work???

[FcukOOyou]

did this dupe method acually work before the patch thoe? cause it sounds like it does hhaha although i have never seen the message myself..

[commandos]

ive seen the message from 1.10 to 1.11 and i tried it but it didnt work for me

[fusion50]

Yes this dupe worked, and yes it still does it just depends on how they take down the servers if they could care less and do it like they did in 09 then it will work but there are accually some easy steps that they could do to prevent this but it would probably take them another hour to get the patch and servers up and going so it depends.

case closed already..... thou only a single poster..it does make some sense

[GoodGuyDoll420]

Ive tried it recently i think its been fixed, especially now that you have posted how to do this on a forum.

[A|fzZz]

Step 1: If you see a message "Diablo 2 Server is shutting down in 5 mins" or some shit like that get a friend in there and give him all your items.

Whats the chances ull see that?

[StrayBullets]

not very good, i havent seen it since 1.09

[Hydragon]

I've seen the message appear several times, especially during dclone hunting!
And the odd thing was that the sojs were sold at high speed after the first warning appeared that bnet would be closing that server down.
And that made me realise something,

This method may not be suitable anymore for duping, however it still causes a rollback if noone saves or exits. So maybe some smart*ss found a way to decrease a servers' stability and thus force bnet the close it down. While people get the message that it will go offline, WHAM!; It's soj selling time. Result, a HOT ip without wasting any precious sojs.

Maybe that's why blizzard decided to change the ammount of sojs needed to spawn mr. clone. It used to be something like every 125-150 sojs sold on a server Diablo would take a walk. Now it's every 75-150 or something right? So back when the mimimum soj ammount was 125, people could easily use this "trick" untill there were 125 sojs sold and then let some forthright suckers sell sojs for real untill the big guy spawned. Now that the minimum decreased to 75, the power of the exploit is limited. If you would apply this trick after 75 sojs you'd risk that Diablo would walk the earth during a server closedown which would force you to choose between anni or your sojs. Either you'd rapidly kill him, pick up the charm, save'n exit and never see your sojs again or you wait nicely for the server to close down, get your sojs back and wave goodbye to that anni charm.


It's all just speculation, maybe I'm like totally wrong about it.

[Siris]

lol now how long do u think that it will last? what i mean is that bnet would not leave a way to dupe like that when it is easily fixed.....no i dont this method works at all

[X-AtreYu-X]

if no one thinks it works.. why are you guys still talking about it, someone just close this thread already

[XxYuNiExX]

i tyred to do the roll back with my friend and it didnt work

[Silent_killers]
