A was showing an old friend the Dark forums not long ago and talking about what is going on with the active D1 community (he has since moved on, but I've been the wiser). The funniest part was that I was telling him about a mock "private stash" screenshot I created with some very small hex edits. I was quite astonished when the first post in the modding section was "stash for diablo" ... "It's working!". I just about fell over.
BTW Here's the screenshot:

I think it is kind of funny that people are worried this will be used for duping/cheating. Why would I load this thing when I can walk up to the item with a potion? It is even easier for malicious users to use a trainer to export your items in a game. No no, this feature is about the best D2 to D1 port available.
The biggest concern of course is that now characters can have virtually a "limitless" inventory. But is this really that influential? As for my characters, they have their main gear equipped and carry a couple alternate items in their pack. For my rogue, this would be a sword/CC/shield (so ~40% of my inventory including gold/whatever). The rest is empty, and for what? Item drops. I really don't see anywhere that "extra" inventory space would be helpful for normal gameplay. I am not going to go to town and cycle through a list of items at a "stash" just to equip some alternate gear, and I will still only be able to pick up a limited number of drops before I need to go ID them. I think it would be most useful not only for transferring, but also storing specialized setups such as item retriving gear and dueling equipment.
I can't wait until I have Diablo and everything reinstalled so I can try it out. Also, does it need to be loaded up everytime you start Diablo?
