Agreed. I liquidated my collection of 08s and zod glitched items well over a decade ago. Ironically they’re probably worth as much if not more by now. With that said I probably would have forgot to login to my accounts and lost everything. Hopefully the current owners are enjoying them more than I would have. Also gave me a reason to start fresh on D2R and really loving the new game.

pretty sure majority of gg items are expired/scammed then expired or banned besides the very few that remain sadly

What method do you use to keep the accounts active? Just memory or have you setup calendar reminders?

I can’t really look at this anymore.
It just brings the pain back.
I had some of those items for many years, until I had to move abroad for work and couldn’t refresh the accounts anymore.
What I miss the most is my 1.08 Saracen’s Chance amulet and a few great rings.
I even had a full mule dedicated entirely to 5% FRW small charms.
My ultimate dream item from the 1.08 days was always a Windforce.

I feel your Pain buddy, as I also lost almost everything. But I did so because of childish stupidity and not the serious reasons of moving abroad (even if I can't understand what maked you not to login in other country, but still).
As I already posted above, I also lost my 2x perm Saracens 1.08.
But at least, I still have my Windforce 1.08, which is the only one known on Europe Realm since the middle of 1.09

I was so busy and tied up in a new project that I simply didn’t have any time to take care of it.
On top of that, my company laptop was configured in a way that didn’t allow me to access Battle.net at all.
Otherwise, I only had my phone with me.

Honestly, I should have just asked someone at home to refresh the accounts.
So yeah, the more I think about it, that definitely falls into the “stupidity” category.

And I have to admit, I’m pretty jealous of your Windforce.

Makes me miss my prepatch / hybrid unique collection on west from way back when... had some cool useless stuff, magic prismatic ammys and weird random stuff like 7ll lv13 ring lol
My trophy was a zbug tarnhelm tho

Auto Mods
Auto Mods are mods that "automatically" show up on all versions of an item, whether it's magical, normal, damaged, or rare. One Auto Mod from a given group is chosen for the item based on a random number and the level of the item (and the requirements of the Auto Mod). Many Class-specific items contain Auto Mods while others contain spell/skill bonuses.
