Maybe i am misunderstanding but what you said makes little sense to me and is irrevelant to my predicament.. I run anni.reg before logging on d2pk, then when i want to switch to east/west i boot vanilla d2, switch realms becsuse anni is there by default then log in. And it works. The problem is when i try to connect to anni via the vanilla client (by mistake because trying to switch too quickly), it gives me an Ipban which is something ive never seen happen on your older realms (or any other realm as a matter of fact)

I never tried logging on east/west/asia via anni client

How long are these bans do you think?
