Putting the Myth to rest

[PantallicA]

There. It's over.

[KoAx KiLz]

I'm sorry, but what was the myth??

[KillJoY_gs]

yea i dont get why that gem is there in d2

[DeStRuCtIoN]

u know it'll be a lot more useful if someone actually had eprfect gem activated ANd then made a game with it on to see if anything happnes.

[zNe0]

Go check the blizzhackers forums. The "Gem Activator" does nothing. The only useful thing it can be used for is to mark specific trade or chat points in the lobby.

[Silent_killers]

Sometimes is says "Mooooooo" too.

[zNe0]

Yeh, it says that on Blizzhackers as well.

[Arsnik]

Its a conspiracy...

[BlindMansTicket]

Ahh, the mystery that is the 'chat gem.' In all truth, it serves it's purpose well. It's a gem, that makes people chat about it. GG chat gem.

[tolametohave1]

How do I activate it?

[logic.]

the myth was put to rest awhile ago...

[Silver Ice]

bmt makes a good point. people usually wont believe something unless they are directly told it by someone who was responsible for writing in the (rules) for diablo. if no one was told the rules then people may just make up rules in order to comprehend things. other really paranoid people wont even believe the rules no matter how many times the chat gem has been explained or tested, and the accounts of people activating the perfect gem and then going and mfing in games and getting way more gems just adds to the conspiracy. perhaps this person with mf was lucky and just got a few more gems when they were cowing.

anyway yes the chat gem says moo and it does all sorts of wonderous things like say "perfect gem activated" and "gem deactivated". so good for it.

[Hurly91]

Is it long to get MOOOOOO or PERFECT GEM ACTIVATED ????

I clicked on it many times and I never got anything else than GEM ACTIVATED and GEM DESACTIVATED .... :confused:

[logic.]

i think its luck
cuz once i got perfect gem activated after a couple of clicks.
and once it took awhile...

[SDSnyper]

its a secret camera so blizz can look at the users:gossip:

i wisperd the tech-bot about it and it said it was a bug :thinking2

edit: another things if i enable the gem and go into a game with a hack enabled i instantly get a realm down! :gossip: :thinking2

[Foog]

nice smilies, snyper. i'm pretty sure BMT is right. they chat about it, thus a chat gem.

back when lod was first released at one time when you had pgem actived all gems droped were perfect that is no longer the case

No, it was originally for a chat option that Blizzard wanted to implement into the game. Then for some reason, they dropped it.

By the way, the myth that is being put to rest is that the "Perfect Gem Activated" actually does appear. I have seen countless people insist that it doesn't... and I just wanted to prove them wrong.

OK, this is what it WAS. The infamous talk gem was a microphone for chat rooms way back when in like .08 and .07 when the game was still on its first legs. Bnet soon got rid of it due to servers lagging and what not, and not being able to affored to repair or sustain such huge amounts of soundbytes parsing along the servers. SO bnet developers and server mods disabled it, and just put a couple interesting things when you click it enough, so that dumbasses like us would talk about it for years and years, LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW!! Well that is my little take on this communist conspiracy due to some nerds over in california 0,0. w/e peace out
