My favorite dupe moment back then was when someone offers you do dupe runes, you drop an Ith, he picks it and drops back 2 Iths, you drop an Ist, he picks it and drops back 2 Ists, once he has gained your trust - you drop a Jah, he picks it and leaves the game.
I will always remember when I was 11 or 12 years old, D2 LoD being my first online experience and joining a Dupe game. I was fairly confident in myself, I wasn't such a fool as to drop all of my items. However, this person said the first step is to kill me 10 times, I thought "I see no harm in that". Little did I know this causes the "body pop glitch" which you guessed it, makes you drop all your items. 12 year old me learnt a painful yet valuable lesson this day, a lesson that'll stay with me until the day I die.
Same thing happened to me when I was nearly the same age. I'll always remember the dispair when I saw all my gear drop out of my body, good old d2 times
@@modernhiendai lol you think? But problem is you're just saying this without knowing where that line comes from. Come back when you graduate from trolling school.
@@PsyQoBoy but i know that line and i think edgar just make a joke. Well, maybe you just joke too, not in reddit school long enough to understand your humor.
Hahahahah lineage 2... In early c1, people selling maps at 3 or 4 times his price. People looting your dropped stuff for being killed by a mob ... Olddays mmorpg
L2...still remember this game)) All the scams on market with items, that looks identical, but are different. The trade scam "show me your weapon, Cool! here is EWS for you, just press trade")))
I still miss that game to this day, the early days up to c3 were a huge part of my life, i remember one guy going red on me over by Giran Castle killing harpies, and i had 3 people setup down the hill waiting for him, got his strengthening long bow, good days. Not exactly a scam, but a good ol bait for 5% xp loss.
that's good. I remember someone on the street asking me for a lighter. When I gave it, he ran off 'sry, I have none and I don't want to beg for fire all night'. I remember being baffled but then feeling immense joy, because I gave a lighter that barely worked - and when he wanted to light the cigarette from a distance, it broke down. Served him right. Made my day.
This reminds me the time in Dungeon Siege 1 where I joined a server that said "free item", "I train you" or whatever it was called... and right after I got in, the player one shot killed me and transmuted all my gears that dropped on the ground into gold.
I dont know. I guess as our world is now, you really need such lessions in a way, but at the same time it is very sad. It would be better, if no one did scamming in the first place, and if they did, they would be punished by a higher enity. As I was in my teens 15 years ago, I did scammed too, but in WoW. I found an epic staff I wanted to sell for 100 gold or so, but my trade partner was some China Shop worker and put 100g in the trade window. Soon after he removed it and changed it to 1 gold. Before I realized it, I hit trade and the staff was gone. For 1 gold. Of course no one died or something like that, but what died is the good will in humans and naivity. I believe the world would be a better place, if no one had to lose it in the first place. Always doubting and second guessing others intentions etc.
@@PiratDunkelbart That's a good lesson to learn. And it's much better to learn it about a hundred gold item in wow than your car, your house or anything that is really important. Just wishing nothing bad would ever happen is not realistic whatsoever.
The one i fell for was the act 2 near atma one, where you can grab things outside the tavern from inside, but not vice versa. So i saw him drop his items while he was inside, i dropped mine outside...and he looted all mine then his before i could do anything. Learned my lesson. (at least on that one, i'm pretty sure i fell for an 'unID IK armor' at least once, then i started doing it to others (because gris armor dropped like almost every game back then. Was so common it was worthless, but it looks just like an IK armor if you don't identify it and don't pay attention to the armor type being exceptional instead of elite). The downside to learning those lessons is now i know not to trust anyone and can smell scams from a distance, but everyone thinks "you're just pessimistic! stop thinking everything is a scam" when it clearly is.
My brother counter scammed someone trying to drop trade enigma for Anni in that spot back in the day. Guy thought he was getting a free Anni but my brother had a metal grid equipped and iron golemed the dudes enigma from existence. Hope the scammer learned his lesson haha
How did he loot everything so fast? He still needed to click stuff one by one... Also why drop things behind a wall? What does that add to the equation?
@@SwiftNimblefoot there were hacks that let you instantly pick up everything. And the wall was used because you couldn't pick things up through a wall-except in a few spots that the devs messed up and left it open to an exploit where you could grab things through it-but only in one direction (so the person standing on the exploit side could grab the loot from the other side, but the person being scammed could not grab anything from the scammer's side)
Definitely. My first day playing OSRS many, many years ago some guy came up to me and said he could duplicate my most valuable item. All I had to do was drop it on the ground and then push the magical keys “alt and F4” and then voila, my item would become two items. Of course, being the first day, the most valuable item I had was a bronze pick axe. I leaned a valuable lesson that day to always assume that everyone on the internet is your enemy and is actively trying to destroy your life.
Old D2 has a lot of "drops here" games where people drop off stuff they can no longer store or don't need. Mostly cheap stuff, but there's a hidden gem here and there.

Got some good stuff from people that played the game for a long time and already had to much stuff or wanted to quit the game. It wasn't the most expensive stuff but helped making the characters stable. Continued that tradition later and helped other newbies out.
A great idea for a new video would be a video about high level party leveling a new player by just killing enemies while the new player sits cowardly in a corner, shaking.

I’m not too proud to admit I fell for this same scam, in the exact same manner. It was on a paladin as well! 🤣 Thanks for bringing back ‘fun’ memories.
Same for me. Got dupped enough to know how to never fall for that again: I haven't been on a multiplayer online game ever since. Getting rid of the toxic experience at its core xD
They would use an item with Teleport on it to instantly get on top of your items and spam click. I had an acquaintance back in 1.09 that used to do this to people to get all of his gear and thought it was the funniest thing to have them beg to get their items back. I gave all of his gear away in free games and deleted all of his characters one day on both of his accounts because of it. Don't scam people. If you do especially don't tell someone that knows all your login info and has a sense of justice.
Lol this is all complete bullshit. You can't teleport in town and if it was in the wild why wouldn't he just hostile and kill so they can't grab half their items back.
"Heads I win, Tails you lose." I've actually used that line successfully IRL lol. I didn't go through with it, it was just to see who would be cut from work first. My coworker didn't understand the joke, I had to explain it lol.
You really have a knack for comedic delivery, Carbot. The straightening of the hangar and the vacuum were just, well, one of MrLlamaSc's usual 'chef's kiss' moments best explains it.
My favorite thing to do with these "dupers" was go in, then when we got to the "stand by the wall" part, I'd throw a bunch of Rare shit and watch them quickly pick up the garbage and run away. Then taunt them on whisper about the time they wasted on me instead of some poor newb.
@@SwiftNimblefoot Because it was about "duping" and the dupers always pretended like they were already super rich and didn't need more HRs or uniques, just helping others. And people are gullible, always have been and always will be.
I had some one dupe me by telling me to fill my inventory up and drop my cube with the items I wanted to dupe. Let's just say I was young but learned valuable lesson that day.
The moment your items touch the ground, they're fair game for anyone nearby with a mouse button. If others are spam-clicking or there's lag, you'll even see items grabbed before they can land on the ground. If all your inventory boxes are already full then you can't pick up more. You can hold one item on the cursor itself, if you're quick enough, but then you can't move or do anything else while people grab all the rest.
I've never fallen for anything like this for 1 simple reason, I realized that if someone is unscrupulous enough to be duping online they are unscrupulous enough to scam you too so I just never bothered taking the risk. Also if I ever felt like I needed to dupe something to progress that was usually a good indication that things were only going to get worse from that point and my time would be better spent on a different game :)
yeah, you have to ask yourself, ''what's in it for them?" Back then, I used to see all kinds of hacks and cheats for online games. You install them and maybe they work, but also... your account gets ''mysteriously'' hacked a day or two later. I never trusted stuff like that. If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
Most people are impatient. They want it all now. They don't want to put time and thought and effort into things. In D2, they want somebody else to rush and bump and level and gear their toon - to play the game for them. As obvious as the scam, the con, or the rip-off might be ... it's still always around because there's still always suckers who fall for it.
i legit met one guy that actually was just duping for people and doing nothing nefarious. he could also unsocket runes from runewords doing some trick where you get the item ID of each rune and sell it to a vendor out of the item so you could buy back each rune. was pretty dope.
I never did any duping in D2 because I wanted to be able to do it myself (which was pretty easy to do in D1) and not rely on other people. To this day I never figured out how to dupe in D2 but that's ok because the game is kind enough to steal my items any way. Just over the weekend I was playing my offline Zealadin and dropped a couple items outside my stash so I could compare and contrast them later. When I return to town maybe 10 minutes later they are all gone and I was a little pissed because some of them were set items (this was Normal and I had been collecting Sigon's Steel) and I was also confused because I had thought as long as you didn't exit your game you could keep items outside your stash for a whole session without them getting "stolen" like loot in the open does. Really frustrating, but hey, at least it's only the game that is beating me
@@aceshighdueceslow items left on the ground vanish after a while. fun fact about duping tho, people were selling their private dupe method for thousands of dollars until some idiot paid for it then told all his friends about it and tipped off blizzard. they started to notice the massive amount of server crashes and patched it, but that was just a couple methods. there was several ways to dupe and to this day there is still 1 or 2 methods that never got patched, probably because they are kept private and these people only use it for their own benefit. i even know a couple neat secrets unrelated to dupes that today's player have no idea about like how barbs can make enemy missile attacks pass thru other players in their party or the old pvp lamp barb that could 1 shot people by doing nothing but standing still
Instead of a coat hanger, I clearly remember them using an item with teleport charges, to tele back over the wall from outside of town and scoop up all the items... You thought your items were safe, and that, if it was a scam, you could just pick up your items before the other person had enough time to run back around the wall... But they didn't need to run around, they just tele over and slurp up all your best stuff... My poor 11yr old self was never the same after that 😭
I think you're thinking Telekinesis, not Teleport. You could click an item from anywhere on screen to instantly move it into inventory (or onto the ground at your feet, if your inventory was already full). They fixed it in one of the earliest game patches. They fixed it again in one of the later game patches, because of hacks. Can't Tele in town anymore. Can't Teke items in town anymore (except for cheap consumables, like potions/etc).
@@pwnmeisterage you can teleport from outside town to inside town. So the duper would stand outside while the dupee would drop stuff inside. Then duper would tell dupee to move somewhere (like run out to town where duper was) and tele in and scoop before dupee could run around
Not as bad as the trade window hack - when they grab your gear from your side of the trade screen. Or the image hack, when they superimpose a valuable item on a grey. Or the item drop hack, when you pick up an item and every equipped item on your character drops.....
What I wanna know is, who remembers the “Free IK Set” link, that when clicked would tab open your LoD screen, drop all your gear, then log you out… classic.
Moral of the story: cheating will hurt you, whether or not it works. Don't try to cheat at life, it is a chain to force you to do and supported things that you never wanted to know happened, much less give aid and abetting.
The second one was fun times. You would have them fill their inventory with potions, then have them go outside and kill them. You would then have them put on a "bugged" helm, pick up their corpse and then kill them again. Back then, if you couldn't fit all your items in your inventory, or on your body, the second time you died, everything you were wearing would fall on the ground.
When I was like 12, I lost a Zod to some guy in Lut Gholein at Atma's tavern behind the bar with the same wall trick. I dropped it, he clicked it, he logged out, I cried lol
I would love to see an episode where the characters meet the VIP endgame club.. where they are a snob group of characters who only trade stuff.. keep trowing non-perfect rolls on thrash.. melt any enemy in 1 second.. have all fancy bad cosplay zelda costumes.. nah just kidding, everyone with all goofy shakos and all with their monarch shields... could also have them getting epic looking armor and gear to the end dispose of them for shakos and monarchs and enigmas and infinities..
For true dupe you needed 4 cd keys sets Explaination: One mule on game with items you needed to dupe Soso meteor spaming meteors outside the city Necro bones spaming bone walls outside the city When you made enough lags on server you could log in with same mule but in diferent server that allows you to drop items with necro or soso than click save and exit game Than same mule you logged in another game you could do same save and exit game In this case you had two sets of mule items but there was one catch Duped items couldnt meet themselfs in any game in case of disapear (there couldnt be two items with same id in one game) With friend we prepared few almost full filled runewords that we finish after dupe In this situation runewords gets diferent id numbers and never disapear Remember that best grief we made was 40/399 That was a time!!!
Not just one game, but they couldn’t be online on the same server at once. Reason you could log out of a solo game and log back in with items that poofed if you didn’t trade window temp-perm

What happens if you do that?
The moment your items touch the ground, they're fair game for anyone nearby with a mouse button.
If others are spam-clicking or there's lag, you'll even see items grabbed before they can land on the ground.
If all your inventory boxes are already full then you can't pick up more. You can hold one item on the cursor itself, if you're quick enough, but then you can't move or do anything else while people grab all the rest.
Maaan i thought he was gonna make iron golem out of his gear. I witnessed that troll couple of times with metalgrid amu. fun times
Lol this is great. You should do one of the old sewer torch drop scam
this Dupe guy seems legit!
you have amazing sense of humor, wish i have it.
Love the old timey animation on this one
master of a dupe will make iron golem from your enigma, which you dropped in a town.
The "Trust" clan entry scam too was like this lol. First time dude said stand on other side of wall I said haha buhbyeeeeee
Awww I’m glad to see duping works as it used to
I've never fallen for anything like this for 1 simple reason, I realized that if someone is unscrupulous enough to be duping online they are unscrupulous enough to scam you too so I just never bothered taking the risk. Also if I ever felt like I needed to dupe something to progress that was usually a good indication that things were only going to get worse from that point and my time would be better spent on a different game :)
yeah, you have to ask yourself, ''what's in it for them?" Back then, I used to see all kinds of hacks and cheats for online games. You install them and maybe they work, but also... your account gets ''mysteriously'' hacked a day or two later. I never trusted stuff like that. If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
Most people are impatient. They want it all now. They don't want to put time and thought and effort into things.
In D2, they want somebody else to rush and bump and level and gear their toon - to play the game for them.
As obvious as the scam, the con, or the rip-off might be ... it's still always around because there's still always suckers who fall for it.
i legit met one guy that actually was just duping for people and doing nothing nefarious. he could also unsocket runes from runewords doing some trick where you get the item ID of each rune and sell it to a vendor out of the item so you could buy back each rune. was pretty dope.
I never did any duping in D2 because I wanted to be able to do it myself (which was pretty easy to do in D1) and not rely on other people. To this day I never figured out how to dupe in D2 but that's ok because the game is kind enough to steal my items any way. Just over the weekend I was playing my offline Zealadin and dropped a couple items outside my stash so I could compare and contrast them later. When I return to town maybe 10 minutes later they are all gone and I was a little pissed because some of them were set items (this was Normal and I had been collecting Sigon's Steel) and I was also confused because I had thought as long as you didn't exit your game you could keep items outside your stash for a whole session without them getting "stolen" like loot in the open does.
Really frustrating, but hey, at least it's only the game that is beating me
@@aceshighdueceslow items left on the ground vanish after a while. fun fact about duping tho, people were selling their private dupe method for thousands of dollars until some idiot paid for it then told all his friends about it and tipped off blizzard. they started to notice the massive amount of server crashes and patched it, but that was just a couple methods. there was several ways to dupe and to this day there is still 1 or 2 methods that never got patched, probably because they are kept private and these people only use it for their own benefit. i even know a couple neat secrets unrelated to dupes that today's player have no idea about like how barbs can make enemy missile attacks pass thru other players in their party or the old pvp lamp barb that could 1 shot people by doing nothing but standing still
Instead of a coat hanger, I clearly remember them using an item with teleport charges, to tele back over the wall from outside of town and scoop up all the items...
You thought your items were safe, and that, if it was a scam, you could just pick up your items before the other person had enough time to run back around the wall... But they didn't need to run around, they just tele over and slurp up all your best stuff...
My poor 11yr old self was never the same after that 😭
I think you're thinking Telekinesis, not Teleport. You could click an item from anywhere on screen to instantly move it into inventory (or onto the ground at your feet, if your inventory was already full).
They fixed it in one of the earliest game patches. They fixed it again in one of the later game patches, because of hacks.
Can't Tele in town anymore. Can't Teke items in town anymore (except for cheap consumables, like potions/etc).
@@pwnmeisterage you can teleport from outside town to inside town. So the duper would stand outside while the dupee would drop stuff inside. Then duper would tell dupee to move somewhere (like run out to town where duper was) and tele in and scoop before dupee could run around
Shoutout to the Cox’n’Crendor music 🎶
Hillarious. Good job Carbot.
I feel we're gonna get an episode about Hardcore mode PKs
Can't wait for it, even though it won't talk to those who weren't there on the first times of D2. It got way softer after several patches ^^
@@fistoz4671 I know right, back when hydras and traps stayed up after you went hostile
Not as bad as the trade window hack - when they grab your gear from your side of the trade screen. Or the image hack, when they superimpose a valuable item on a grey. Or the item drop hack, when you pick up an item and every equipped item on your character drops.....
I remember when Yay dupe was leaked....those were fun times. Endless sojs and white rings.
This is one of the best episodes ever on this channel!
Anyone that has played Phantasy Star Online 1 and 2 may also find this relatable. There was a lot of duping in that game too heh.
This is why I love this channel. Never have I not laughed. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
What I wanna know is, who remembers the “Free IK Set” link, that when clicked would tab open your LoD screen, drop all your gear, then log you out… classic.
Moral of the story: cheating will hurt you, whether or not it works. Don't try to cheat at life, it is a chain to force you to do and supported things that you never wanted to know happened, much less give aid and abetting.
I'm going to call the Smithsonian. This history must be preserved so people know the true b.net that once was.
Your videos are all so frickin' genius and remind me of things I forgot about the game. XD
The second one was fun times.
You would have them fill their inventory with potions, then have them go outside and kill them. You would then have them put on a "bugged" helm, pick up their corpse and then kill them again. Back then, if you couldn't fit all your items in your inventory, or on your body, the second time you died, everything you were wearing would fall on the ground.
When I was like 12, I lost a Zod to some guy in Lut Gholein at Atma's tavern behind the bar with the same wall trick. I dropped it, he clicked it, he logged out, I cried lol
Sorry
This is Awesome, I love it.
back when after we trade HRs we did the 'perm trade' hehe gold days
Hahaha true that!
Funfact:
Duper in french means to mislead, to fool
Just AWESOME! Great work!
That necromancer was a super duper.
I would love to see an episode where the characters meet the VIP endgame club.. where they are a snob group of characters who only trade stuff.. keep trowing non-perfect rolls on thrash.. melt any enemy in 1 second.. have all fancy bad cosplay zelda costumes.. nah just kidding, everyone with all goofy shakos and all with their monarch shields...
could also have them getting epic looking armor and gear to the end dispose of them for shakos and monarchs and enigmas and infinities..
For true dupe you needed 4 cd keys sets
Explaination:
One mule on game with items you needed to dupe
Soso meteor spaming meteors outside the city
Necro bones spaming bone walls outside the city
When you made enough lags on server you could log in with same mule but in diferent server that allows you to drop items with necro or soso than click save and exit game
Than same mule you logged in another game you could do same save and exit game
In this case you had two sets of mule items but there was one catch
Duped items couldnt meet themselfs in any game in case of disapear (there couldnt be two items with same id in one game)
With friend we prepared few almost full filled runewords that we finish after dupe
In this situation runewords gets diferent id numbers and never disapear
Remember that best grief we made was 40/399
That was a time!!!
Not just one game, but they couldn’t be online on the same server at once. Reason you could log out of a solo game and log back in with items that poofed if you didn’t trade window temp-perm
I still like nene better, since people decided soso -.-
I don't know how to describe in words of how accurate the old fashion D2 comedy bit where your the punch line actually is. Flashbacks of having this happen to me when I was kid. Probably why I'm playing now to over compensate. Simply fantastic.
Ah, the good ol' 17 NK trick. A classic! Can't believe so many people were duped by that necro!
can't get over how much he sounds like Norm McDonald
The kill you first trick and then have them buy a any piece of gear then kill em again and pop when they grab first body 🤣🤣🤣
I got caught by the body pop scam once when I was a kid thinking that was how to dupe. Thats what I get for trying to cheat I guess lol
Laughed so hard at the vacuum cleaner part!
im guilty, one of my first SOJ`s before i knew what it would become
I gave my friends borrowed serpentskin to someone that was meant to dupe the item for me, never got it back. Good old days, and having to see my friend at school T>T
