Ladder season 3. Fuck you blizzard.

Oh mighty fuck, it could be just as bad in reverse...

This means that item stores, who MIGHT'VE discovered the 23 new runewords for Ladder Only (since they'd have the resources), could've xferred said items to Nonladder in the confusion...

That would be a MAD profit, since they'd be the only ones to have them, and the Nonladder shmucks CAN'T MAKE THEM. Imagine the fucking money they would make...

omfg! tehyd be teh rich Fuxxorz! swimmin in teh munni filled pewl!

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?
