OCD Compulsive Tidiness Achievement

Congratulations! You have unlocked the OCD Compulsive Tidiness Achievement for Diablo 2.

You picked up every single pile of gold, potion, ring, scroll, armor and weapon from the Blood Moor all the way to the Throne of Baal.

Throne of Destruction. Baal is in the Worldstone Chamber.

Sorry, as someone who has wasted literally thousands of hours of my life playing the game, I feel obligated to correct you.

Achievement unlocked!

Congrats You just Lurker rushed a noob! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

Re:Why do people write this stuff?

[Anonymous Coward]

I vote a different system. Grab a hash of the BIOS ID or other machine serial numbers, and send that up. If a certain computer is used in a number of hacking or exploiting attempts, silently ban the computer by having accounts that are run on there automatically locked after a random period of time. Then, someone trying to exploit for profit will wonder why all his stuff is getting disabled, and not know why.

What could possibly go wrong?

Not sure if that was a reference or not...

Also this was apparently news about a month ago. (At least achievements)

I don't see what the Gauteng Provincial Government have to do with TFA at all.

We come together cuz opposites attract
And you know: It ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together cuz opposites attract

Sorry. Had to do it.

Interopability with BnetD?

[apenzott]

Does this work with BnetD?
What features are not supported by this update?
What backward compatibility is supported?
When will BnetD be updated to work with Battle.net 2.0?

Pirating it will make it work on a LAN?

Wow, these clever pirates!
