Am I allowed to...

[LanceIV]

Hey all,
I was wondering about this...

I have two computers. I bought Diablo II + LOD two times, so now I have two sets of CD's and Two sets of CD Keys. The game WILL let me get on two *different* characters that are on the *same account*, and I can join the same game with both of them.

I was just wondering if Blizzard will ban you for being on same account in same game at same time or if your allowed to do this ???

You should be able to.. It lets you.. but just wondering. I want to rush myself ect without having to start a new account.

Please help!

It's fine. No, that wasn't anything bannable last I heard, so you should be fine.

Edit: I've done it myself several times.

Go for it!

Totally safe, I use to run 2-3 clients at once on the same computer.

[LanceIV]

Thanks for all the repies everyone. I was just wondering because most of the time it'd let me but then it would say "Server down" on both comps .. But looks like I just have to join game on one comp then get on second after im already in a game.

Thanks :-)

Perfectly fine. Arkantis and I were on the same account rushing my characters. It was fun...

[Demosthenes]

Back when I played I shared an account with a friend. We were almost always in the same game, and nobody ever said anything, so I think you should be fine.

[BlackKnight]

you can join b-net with 8 chars in the same account without problems

Can you run 2 games off the same computer? If you have 2 sets of cds.

[LanceIV]

Yes you can, MightyJoe. I forget how but I know I use to do it .. I know it had to do with D2Loader.. And I remember it being a pain to set up. Does anyone else remembers how to do this?

[Vollstrecker]

It requires D2Loader and Onlyer's CD-Key Refiller utility. There are instructions in the D2Loader Readme, I believe. If not, the CD-Key refiller should have a Readme.

[MightyJoe]

Where can i get that onlyer's CD key refiller and what does it do?
thanks

[EX-Mania]

Don't remember where to get it.. MAYBE hellmonkeys site? (not sure if it still exists havent checked in a long time) but i believe it lets u replace ur current CD key with another one

[Vollstrecker]

It edits or swaps a Windows Registry File that D2 accesses for your CD-Key.

I have it posted SOMEWHERE here. I'll have to find it.

[PureRebel]

you cant get your acc' band because its not breaking any terms of Agreement .

[!King_Amazon!]

I don't really think you need any programs to do it, it is just easier with them.

The registry key is easy to find.

[MightyJoe]

But would i need to have the games installed on two different partitions or could i run off the same diablo2lod.exe with different cds. I am not sure what the loading program is called, i think it is diablo2lod.exe

[!King_Amazon!]

When I did it I just coppied my D2 folder into another folder(meaning I had the game in two different folders) then I used the CDkey refiller(or edited registry) to change one of the client's CDkeys, put shortcuts for both of them on the desktop, made them both run in window mode. Tada.

[HandOfHeaven]

How do you make D2 run in a window?

[!King_Amazon!]

Put a space and -w after the last " in the command line(right click>properties.)

[MightyJoe]

Could you still run them both in normal viewing mode?
