That is not how this ever worked. They do not have to be in the same game, just need to be on the same server.

When you save and exit, the server might delete your item if it is not the most recently modified version of the item with same unique ID (hidden modifier). The reason why temp perming works is because whenever you open trade window the game actually dupes your entire inventory which makes your items the most recently modified on server after you quit trade.

Honestly, if duping is happening the best strategy would be to dupe mass soj's, spawn dclone ls "quietly" and sell mass annis between 100+ accounts who are waiting on server.

Sold soj won't poof and the anni already was farmed.

I mean that might honestly be what’s going on already

Even with windows movie maker - I could probably sit in lobby with a full geared char - log into a game and clip it so that I'd be logged into a naked level 1 char after the login screen and make it look as good as the "evidence" here...

I mean.. Am I the only one thinking this? There's literally 2 separate black-screen in the video - how is this even remotely considered "proof" unless it was live-streamed?

However. I digress. Wouldn't be surprising if people did in fact dupe.. But the evidence here is weak.

If dup are back on d2 i am done with this game for ever

Send ur fgs
🤔

The best strategy is to upgrade runes in cube or dupe incomplete runewords (enigma without ber inserted). It worked for years in LOD and there's no reason I've seen to believe it isn't happening already in D2R

oh well I just have to make my own then, could careless about rune being dupe. as long my armors were self found, then it wouldn't go poof

Don’t tell the noobs that. You are going to give them a heart attack. Let them live in peaceful ignorance.

Like there hasn’t been duping all through Diablo 2’s life on battle net.

You guys are hilarious.

It’s been like this since Diablo 1 and all through Diablo 2.
