They are having enough problems with cheats as it is. If they release the source code it makes it even easier for cheaters to find loopholes.

Did you see how big the bot petition was? Did you see what effect it had? How do you think a much smaller petition for something they are far less likely to consent to will work?

"But we will not find loop holes!!"

But others will...look at closed battlenet now! It's ruined because of &*#&^*# morons who have nothing better to do then cheat legit players which is sadistic. Most hacks now revolve around the D2Hackit tool which can do alot of things. Releasing source code will be the end of closed battlenet.

well good points but i will try it anyways cannot hurt. we can ask them for a utility of some kind to edit the source code then the hackers wouldn't find loop holes right?

i wouldn't start my own source code for any game that would be impossible or take alot of time at least. Probly make my own game instead of doing that hehe. even if you were to recreate the source code we don't have there libraries . but it wouldn't hurt to see how they did stuff. i find it hard enought to make a mario type game lol. hopefully i will be better at making games when i start taking college courses.

A petition to release the source code?!!!

WHAT a joke. Blizzard is company that has to make money. This would be like thinking that a petition to the Coca-Cola Co. would be enough for them to release their formula for Coca-Cola soft drink (underminining their business in process). It would probably elict a sneer or laugh from whoever there recives it first, before it is filed in receptacle 13.

Diablo 2 is a RTS game set up from a single persective (the players position) and control of one unit (the player) whose presence influences a set of other units (hirelings and minions try to maintain a minimum distance to). To learn more read a book on programming a RTS game and you will begin to see what parts are incorporated into D2 and how.

Blizzard does not support nor do they listen to petitions. I can assure you, this has been attempted numerous times on numerous forums including but not limited to the battle.net forums and have produced no effect.

Cool it with the crap ! That kind of attitude won't cut it here for even a second. Consider that a warning. I'm shuttin' this down. Based upon past history of these petitions, regardless of what they are for, I refuse to have any part in this. Blizzard has never and I don't think ever will listen to a petition. You're welcome to try. But, sadly, I cannot see your success in this matter.
