Wow, weird happening. - Albion Child - 04-14-2003
This is story of how I accidently duped an item. (Plain leather gloves to be specific). I was rushing someone thru hell with my barb and lag was....well.....extreme. It was among the worst lag situtions I have experienced.(Lag is rather unusual BC of T1 line but certainly not unheard of.) Anyway I accidentally pick up the gloves and don't really need them so I try to drop them them . Right after I clicked on them in my inventory the lag monster attacked. I was unable to either drop the item or return it to my inventory. (when I cliced in the inventory it made the "bglove" sound but my cursor still showed goves and nothing appeared in the inventory.) Shortly after I got a "Connection Interupted" message and was unable to log on for awhile due to "realm down."
I created a new game with the barb with plans to do a few meph/baal runs. When I entered the game my cursor still was the gloves AND the lovesg were in my inventory. I (thought I) took a screenshot and sold both to Larzuk. And went on with my day, thinking I'd have a great STSI. However I must'v hit the wrong button button because I didn't get a screenshot. Oh well.......

I believe this should go in the Maggots Lair...

Even if you hadn't sold them to Larzuk, the gloves would have disappeared upon exiting the game, due to the DupeScanâ¢. However, yes, I believe it is due to being able to lag out the game at predictable times that dupers were able to do their thing. Hence the Realm Down that you received.
