Unless you've found a way of reliably penetrating blizzard's servers
and change player data in the realm games, then yes, that part of D2
is (mostly) unhackable.

No amount of anti-game-hacking code in the game itself short of
encryption, (but even then...) will prevent local modification of save
game files. Even if blizzard decided to encrypt the save game files,
we can always peek/poke at the memory used by D2 once it has loaded
the save games.


Cheers,
