How to spawn Diablo Clone!

Is there any way maybe to tell the game which server you want to join?

No, that would play hell with Blizz's load distribution. Battle.net creates your game on whatever server seems to look the best, as far as I can tell.

There are *2* different programs I know of that will create games and scan IP for you until you hit the right one. Actually, I will post both as attachments and have been reported clean by my Norton Antivirus 2k4.

Personally, I like the PXLocator better, but then, everyone has their own opinions.

EDIT: Actually, this really is good material. Is there any way we could get a sticky on this, Kuja???

Question, ok so when u try finding the server with the same ip address as someone who posts the "hot" ip address, now they can be in 2 different games but have the same ip address? or does it have to be in the same game?

From what i understand, as long as you are on the same server, i.e. have the same ip adresss, the clone will spawn in your game....i think....

Basically, what you do, is this...

1. Someone posts that server .141 is hot
2. You logon to Battle.net, and create a Hell game.
3. Check server's IP with the 'netstat -n' routine the method explains.
4. If it returns xxx.xxx.xxx.141:4000, you're on the server. Wait a few minutes to see if soj counter goes up. If it does, that means just hang around and Clone should spawn eventually if they sell enough sojs. IF you don't see the counter go up, he may have already spawned are you're too late.
5. If it returns any other server, you save+exit and make a new game. Repeat until you hit the server.
6. Be careful not too fly in and out of games too fast, as that will get you IP banned for a short amount of time.

Also, for the COMPLETE instructions on how to determine server IP, hit up this thread.

Edit: You could also use one of the programs I attached a few posts above to do the dirty work of creating/scanning for you.

Enjoy!
