Thanks everyone for the comments, it means a lot to me! :love:


Insane to me to hoard items worth thousands and thousands of dollars only to let them rot till the servers go offline and it all be gone

I never understood collecting stuff in games rather than rl


Thanks for bringing this up. I've actually been thinking about it over the past few days. For me, there are several reasons why I collect items like these. First of all, I've witnessed one-of-a-kind items vanish because people forgot to refresh their characters or simply turned their backs on D2. Even worse, some devalued these items—both in spirit and substance—by creating invalid copies. I'm someone who tends to think long-term, and I've always liked the idea of taking responsibility for preserving these items. Sure, that comes with a massive cluster risk. What if something happens to me and I'm no longer able to refresh? And yes, I’m aware that all the items above are technically drained of their intended purpose—being used in-game.

But for me, it's not just about utility. It's about legacy, about preserving fragments of a world that once felt alive, shared, and meaningful. Each item carries a story: of battles fought, trades negotiated, friendships formed, and moments that made the game more than just code. Holding onto them is my way of honoring that history, of keeping those memories tangible in a space where everything else is fleeting. It’s not about what they do it’s about what they meant, and still mean to me. And that's what I want to share with you.

I guess that’s fair enough, just be careful cos something can always happen. My entire d2 account worth over 350k fg expired cos I got sick for a year, d2 didn’t even cross my mind for a second during that time. I it’s quite risky to hoard items in legacy

The 90 days expiration is not right imo, you get jail time your done. Or w/e you get sick whatever life throws at you
While some game i din't log-in for well past 5 years still active account, some place care about you while battle.net is just careless and shady af

Atleast yours expired, some of us got striked by account theft (bboy22). and unscrupulous members over this forum low-key bought the stolen gear in the known
this is what this game has been gone to, and i think its one of the main reasons legacy d2 has died. or atleast what was still standing alive is gone with the rest of the old players after they took a loss of their goods

25 years later, and still find myself coming back to this title. No matter how long the break. Your words capture exactly why this game will always stand the test of time.
