Yes, major profit'age.

wut exactly happened though? did blizzards server crash, maybe someone found a way to crash the server to do just wut everyone tried or accomplished doing, anyone got some thoughts on that theory?

i read sumthin on battle.net site d2 forum , even tho Lad chars were converted to NL for a few mins, They still couldnt join NL games

This is what I gathered:

A team of hackers destabilized the realms to the point where they were able to merge ladder/nonladder for something like 6 minutes. They then proceeded to xfer old 08 dupes/imported/perfect stat items to Ladder characters (think of 08 gazes, 290's, 3/20/20's, Armageddon Fletch, etc...).

Apparently, some other people caught on in that time and did the same. This irritated Blizzard, who rolled back the realms.

That's the most complete picture I could gain from the confusion of posts on the 'net, so it may not be 100% accurate, but should be pretty close.

When you say blizzard rolled back the realms.. does that mean the xfered stuff went back to normal or did it stay on ladder?

Pretty much the rollback means that all items are going back to where they were before. So all the nonladder items should return back to nonladder.

They reloaded data from an earlier back-up. Basically, they likely rolled it back somehting like 6 hours, so anything that happened after that would be like it never happened.

woot now people are only like 99% richer than me instead of 100%!!!

Ahahahaha. And those moron 'hackers' can get prosecuted over this as well XD. ALL FOR NOTHING. GREATNESS!!

woohoo.. now most of them will be too poor to play d2, or they's get Thier comps taken of them by the Mommiez! woot no more gayness for a while

If they were even remotely intelligent, they likely were running proxies and whatnot...

Also, the whole realm rolled back, so it was as if it never happened.
