Diablo2: What does activating the gem do?

[DJ_Keoki]

I have been wondering for so long what it does when you click on that gem in the middle of the chat screen on battle.net. It says "gem activated" or "gem deactivated" I think. When I try and ask people this on b.net they just laugh at me and stuff . Anyone know what it does?


P.S. If you play on USEast and you have a good (150+) exec sword for trade, email skafan22@hotmail.com or msg EricGhint on b.net.

No one knows for sure. Blizzard is being tight lipped about that. This is on Blizzard's website:

What is the function of the Gem in the Diablo II Battle.net Chat room?

While we cannot reveal the purpose or function of the Gem in the Diablo II Battle.net Chat room, we can say that it is working correctly and has more than exceeded our expectations. Also, Blizzard employees cannot confirm or deny any rumors regarding this Gem.

oh god, once you think battlenet cant get any worse it releases something like that

Oh ok. I think that the battle.net team means that they put it on there just so people would click on it and not know wtf it does. They just see how many people will actually click on it. Sort of like a "candid camera" type of thing. That's just a guess though.

I can't say what the gems does but it's really stupid.

I always use its functions when I "create" a room. Works very well.
