I know an old way of editting...It's the same idea of making white items on closed bnet..But they patched that so'I'll explain a little.
You use an editor on open bnet and their is a program (not going into detail) that will let you use your edited items and goddly characters..Now you couldn't import the characters for good but you could use them for a short time..because the program was so detectible by bnet.It was practical to just use it for importing you editted items and then just mule them over to your closed account...I really don't want to go into detail with this because it doesn't work anymore..So there is your answer.....
