It worked for the restock. I didnt cop anything but it did work I put my friends on. Too many people? The servers can handle the 5 or 6 thousand people who know about it. It's the million and a half people who want the shoe that cause it to crash. The restock wasnt crashing until over an hour after I discovered about it and I am sure more than 5 thousand people were on in that time. And I have been told it has been working since the Bred XIs. If they haven't fixed it since that.... idk what to say. Also if you know computers you know that wasnt even a backdoor, it was ****** programming. If FNL discovered it in the WCIII release, then I am sure it will take a while to fix.
Although some people told me it redirected them to the crash countdown when they tried backdoor on the restock. I went back in to see if it was true and I was still getting through. Maybe because they used a direct link and I did it my way, but I doubt that should make a difference.
