WhenTonight. Wednesday -- 10-6-21 around 9-10 pm Eastern Time Zone , we plan on giving the community a specific amount of time to get lucky and find a game. It won't be long amount of time(due to some of the information regarding Unjoinable games..that occurs below, read on)
**barring no issues with servers, if this occurs we will move to next day/date.
Region + Server IP + Time to huntRegion=""
IP=""
Time to Hunt:""
Info above will be added/edited when we get closer to time ect.
Helpful information:There are literally several hundreds if not thousands -- more servers. -- what does this mean in layman's terms?
This means there will be fewer Anni games found, because bots do not exist to create mass games to find specific ips to sit/hold.
Annis will be worth substantially more. My guess is 25k+ easily, if not more could be upwards of 50k range...all a guess really.
What tool can you use to see a server IP address:A.) TCPViewer --
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview <--- not sure if I can post links remove if necessary, link is Microsoft.
**Guide to help you see GAME Server IP easier**
1) Show Established Connections only
2) TCPv4
3) Search bar up top, type in : D2R (This will show your d2r.exe and any ips associated with it.
4) When you click join game (from windowed mode) you'll see the incoming connection to the game server (in green) This is the "in game IP". All other ips are chats/lobbies/login servers.
B.) Cmd >> type: netstat -n
This lists all current ips active on your cpu (browsers, programs ect), if you start to get familiar with what your looking at you can determine ips, however this is much harder than method A, due to not seeing the live inflow of ips. You also will get easily confused seeing the other "non game ips". I wouldn't recommend this for amateur hunters.
Unjoinable games:Bnet Launch/Game launch -- when you launch you are on a specific (main server), when you create a game (your basically given a pathway of (guessing here) 3-4 servers on that tree (which hold hundreds of game ips), if your game/app crashes and the main server has rotated, you are now on a different main server (this now limits which games you join, since they are not connected) Thus making the game unjoinable.
***Not tested but hypothetical, if you stayed in the game extremely long enough until it re-rotated (not sure how many total), then it might become joinable again. Again a guess...haven't waited long enough to test**
Just to give you a idea, we tested some things and could only find 3 matching games, with around 1000's of game creates within 3 hours. That gives you a idea of how hard this will be.
Lastly, if you get a game from our walk tonight. Please consider donating to the cause. Sojs are not cheap, I'm thinking in total wer are in around 180k fg deep for this adventure.
This was a team effort. I'd like to thank a few people.

If you do get a game and need a killer, I trust any of these people I tagged, or any Mediator/Trusted Tag user ofc on JSP. Be Smart, don't let a random person in your game and steal something that is so rare.This post was edited by XRP on Oct 6 2021 07:55am
