Save closed realm characters?

[Taem]

...that maphack version vanished forever, as well as the ability to save realm characters

Did you mean that the only known tool that could do this was lost, or are you suggesting Blizzard somehow prevented anyone from ever copying Realm characters again? I'm guessing the former, since the latter isn't possible.

Definitely the former. That version (I'll PM you the name) would view your character data and output an exact copy. The principle is pretty simple; look at the necessary packets to determine inventory content and character stats, and create a duplicate. I have no doubts this program could be written now, but would have to be re-written with each new patch as offsets would change. It's also very likely this program would be detectable by Blizzard giving the potential to have your account banned, and possibly your cd-key. We will not discuss Warden circumvention measures on these forums, despite your well-meaning intentions.
