Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / July 2005Refreshing Question.
When refreshing characters is just double-clicking on them, then clicking 'quit' adequate? The counter goes away but for some reason I've always taken them into games before now to refresh them. Taking them into games has become a several-day process as the accounts have built up as I always get RD several times.

I get my counters trimmed in that way too... very stylish :¬P SignatureTrammel is a member of DWC (http://dwc.no-ip.org) (Please reply to group only) >>> When refreshing characters is just double-clicking on them, then >>> clicking 'quit' adequate?

Signature~misfit~ Don't be so sure. I had one mule account that was had been refreshed a few times by taking characters into the chat channel and then quitting. This resets the counter on the *character*, but does not reset the counter on the *account*. I ended up with an expired account with 31 days remaining on the characters - clicking on a character brought up an alert saying the account was expired because it hadn't been used in 90 days. I was able to recover the characters after a two-week battle with Blizzard's tech support, but I would recommed taking characters into a game and letting them walk around a bit. (It was a definite reminder that I need to clean out some off-ladder mules. Anyone seen SVH recently?) -- Zamboni > Don't be so sure.

Anyone seen SVH recently?) Thanks for that Zam, So, if I take one per account into a game and just take the others into the chat screen I should be OK? I'm a pack-rat and have a massive amount of mule accounts, both ladder and non. Anything that makes refreshing them easier/quicker helps. Signature~misfit~ >> Don't be so sure.

I suspect that would work (but don't quote me), that one character in a game will reset the account activity timer. I know I had many, many characters that were refreshed via the chat channel, but only one account expired. I must have missed that account entirely while random muling saved the others. (This all happened last week, so it's still fresh in my mind.) -- Zamboni > I suspect that would work (but don't quote me), that one character in a game > will reset the account activity timer.

Are you sure it's not that glitch that popped up a couple months ago? There's been a bug going around lately that "expires" characters even though they supposedly still have time remaining, it hit 2 of my accounts but I got them fixed by Blizzard. > -- > Zamboni >> I suspect that would work (but don't quote me), that one character >> in a game will reset the account activity timer.

I heard about that glitch, maybe from you. :-) Glad you got them fixed. Signature~misfit~ >> Don't be so sure.

I found I could take 3 into that first screen but after the 4th it would give Realm Down, so the 4th would get taken into a game and move something around, rinse and repeat. Too bad I can't remember to go in and check the accounts every now and then, I lost most of my chars due to my WoW addiction Craig Long ago, in the world without shrimp, "~misfit~" <misfit61nz@yahoot.co.nz>, supreme ruler of bunnies, hopped and flopped and said: >When refreshing characters is just double-clicking on them, then clicking >'quit' adequate?

I'd like an answer on this too, as I have over 50 accounts to refresh, not including one set of shared mules and accounts (which brings the total to almost 70 accounts) Signature"My army shall destroy y- AHHHHHHHHH!" > Long ago, in the world without shrimp, "~misfit~" > <misfit61nz@yahoot.co.nz>, [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > including one set of shared mules and accounts (which brings the total to > almost 70 accounts) Two words; Massive Yard-sale!

Some evul lil hamster who whispers in your ear? Seriously how the hell do you ever decide which char to work on. I assume you have a database or a notebook somewhere just so you can find gear, let alone keep track of all the acct/passes. I'm exhausted just thinking about it VBG SignatureIn a World full of Insanity Here I Stand.

Some evul lil hamster who whispers in your ear? Anywhere from 50-100 distinct character builds (I haven't counted), most through to hell baal. Plus mules (very few private mules these days, just too much hassle maintaining them), shared mules, ladder, non-ladder, SC and HC. If there was no AGD community to give gear away too, I'd probably just about do away with mules entirely, and just keep a couple of accounts of the choicer items, runes, gems, etc. Then again, if there was no AGD community, I probably wouldn't be playing that much anyway. >Seriously how the hell do you ever decide which char to work on. I assume >you have a database or a notebook somewhere just so you can find gear, let >alone keep track of all the acct/passes. I'm exhausted just thinking about >it VBG I have no notebook or list of gear. Mules have names that indicate what's on them, so there's not much guessing required. I do have one piece of paper with a list of the account names so I can go through when I'm bored, refresh an account or two, and cross it off the list. As for how I decide what character to play... no system. I play what I feel like playing. Usually this means I play ladder because that's what the people I game with usually play, but I still play the non-ladder ones also (since there's very few repeated builds).
