Yes, the hack sites are going down one by one. :(
First to go was the legendary skull site, which had lots of "educational" hacks that all works on closed b.net.

http://skull.gamersrus.com/ was no more. :(

Next was MewGood. Just today I checked, and they were gone. I'm thinking that their servers could just be down, but then again, this is the first time.

It seems that http://www.mewgood.com/ is gone as well. :(

Hey Luke, you should probably disable the hacks download link temporarily until this all blows over. :P lol

But looking on the bright side, this might mean that Blizzard is cracking down on the hacks to make Diablo II hack free, so the 1.10 patch must be near!

Okay, I got some information on the 1.10 patch. There is a translation on diabloii.net, but here is a better one.

"What was the last time Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction was patched? That's right, 19th August 2001. Since then, the fanbase has waited for the announced patch v1.10, which by now has developed into something of a neverending story. But it looks like the wait is finally going to pay off.

As Blizzard front man Bill Roper has confirmed yesterday during a presentation at Vivendi Universal (summary available here at gamesurf.de), the upcoming patch is more like a second expansion. Apparently just about everything has changed - just the character classes and the acts are the same. From unique items and character skills to monster AI, the Californian manufacturer has changed just about everything that could be changed. A full test cycle for this patch is supposed to take about three weeks, and the bug fixing is making many such test cycles necessary. Special attention is paid to the problem of "duped" (illegally reproduced) items.

Before the E3 in May, the patch is supposed be finished. We'll just have to wait and see.

And here is the original text, for those of you who want it.

"Wann wurde Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction das letzte Mal gepatcht? Richtig, das war am 19.08.2001. Seitdem wartet die Fangemeinde auf den angekündigten Patch 1.10, welcher sich inzwischen zu einer Art Neverending Story entwickelt hat. Aber so wie es scheint lohnt sich die ganze Warterei. &nbsp;

Wie uns Blizzard Frontman Bill Roper gestern während eines Events bei Vivendi Universal (in Kürze hier auf gamesurf.de) bestätigte, hat der kommende Patch eher den Charakter eines zweiten Expansion Sets. Geändert hat sich scheinbar alles, nur die Charakterklassen und die einzelnen Akte sind gleichgeblieben. Vom Unique Item über Charakter Skills bis hin zur Monster Intelligenz hat der kalifornische Hersteller so ziemlich alles umgekrempelt, was man nur umkrempeln kann. Ein kompletter Testlauf des Patches würde um die drei Wochen dauern und das Bugfixing mache viele viele solcher Testläufe notwendig. Besonders im Blickpunkt: das Problem der "gedupten" (illegal reproduzierten) Items. &nbsp;

Bis zur E3 im Mai soll das Thema allerdings gegessen sein. Warten wirs ab.

Lol, roger dat. :D

I really can't tell though when it would be safe to enable the hacks again. Disabling it seriously crippled your downloads, but better safe than sorry. :P
Probably when 1.10 comes out? :(
lol at the friend's server thing.

btw, did you get the copy of TPPK?

Hehe.. Hacks are still there.. just removed the Hacks link in the downloads box... i.e. Go into a downloads section, then click on "downloads main" then navigate back down into hacks...

They are there... but not there. :2thumbsup
Most likely easily findable by Blizzard. but oh well.
