It might be prudent to find a way to back these characters up before they're lost forever, when - not if - Battle.net finally shuts down. It may seem unthinkable after nearly 20 years of service, but all good things come to an end.
So I ask, does anyone know of a reputable utility that can essentially convert their closed realm characters to single player/open ones? My understanding of how Diablo II's innards work leads me to believe all the Battle.net only items exist in the SP game as well, but are simply deactivated so they don't drop. If so, I don't see why such a program couldn't exist, since all the equipment should be valid in SP.
I was reading around online and saw someone mention that such a utility supposedly does already exist, but I can't seem to find any trace of it after trying searches with various related keywords.
I apologize if this sounds like I'm asking about a D2 hack. I'm only inquiring if any utility exists for the sole purpose of making such a back up. Since I couldn't find any useful information on it elsewhere I thought it best to ask the experts.
