I was just curious. =]
Like, I know of a couple on battle.net such as getting people to join your hosted game by having other players rejoining or closing and opening slots. How does that work exactly? I remember pressing f7 or some other f# while your dl is stuck to speed it up was another one I heard of a while back .. lol.

Can any of these be confirmed or are there any other weird ones you know of?

They say when you go to Op Opz(U) at exactly midnight on saturday, you can still see the accounts of the former (U) members.

The closing and reopening of the slots doesn't refresh the game.

Technically everyone is unbanned because it wasn't stored in the DB. Guess we gotta ban 'em as we see 'em.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

if you close all slots (if the lag allows it), then everyone who is connecting (if person/game lags, connecting can take some time) disconnects because of no more free slots.
it's a myth that refreshing 1 single slot will refresh the game. you need to close all for a moment to get rid of connecting laggers.
Or?

~EUDs were patched becuase someone wrote a virus with them and sent it to blizzard

Actually, closing all slots and reopening all WILL refresh the game on the list. This is because games with no more slots get wiped off the list (if the list is refreshed) and when you open it again, it appears on the list.

You're wrong.

Hm? Any reason why not?

Your post isn't coherent, so I can't argue it.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
