I think I have been having the same problem as some other people in reference to the password error in D2. My password hasn't worked since I installed the Exp a week ago (so I hope it is this password error and not that someone stole my account) and it is pissing me off . I read the previous forums about the password server and it being screwed up and I would like to know to the best of anyones knowledge what the password server is.

I would also like to know why this error is occuring only to certain people (which might be answered if I find out what the server is). I was thinking that this error is occuring to people that are somehow similar (i.e. roughly the same account registration time, etc.) which might explain a few things...
 
the "password servers" are the battle.net gateway servers, which have the same names as, but should not be confused with, the realm servers.

Gateways handle account authentication and chat functions (and manage the game lists for all the b.net games). Realm servers control actual gameplay for Diablo 2 and hold the character info associated with each account.

Most likely your account has been stolen, or deleted by a server screw up. There's not much you can do about it either way

Well those bastards, whatever happened to account security in cases of a screw up

If by chance my account was stolen, will I be able to create a new account by the same name again?
 
Sorry but duplicate account names are not allowed, you will have to pick a different name.
 
Aren't the accounts deleted after like 3 months of inactive use?

Thanks for all your help. I think that I may be screwed, but it is just a game so life goes on. You have been 1000 times more of a help than Blizzard, here is the e-mail message I received from them in regards to the password server:
Hi,

I'm sorry, but all information concerning the operating procedures and equipment of battle.net servers is confidential.

Pretty comical right?

Thanks again!

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
