Realm game keep-alive oddities

[CelticHound]

Librarian tends to give quality info, so I'm inclined to accept this (testing would be better, but I don't have limitless time or patience). However, vis a vis the current discussion, imagine that I'd relied on explorations of the .d2s to help settle the issue... if I think I see or don't see the presence of a mlvl saved there for the Iron Golem I may be inclined to conclude that correspondingly the mlvl is or isn't used in recreation. This would, however, be quite a leap, as the code is free to do whatever it does, without being constrained by mere sensibility.

Isn't testing the Iron Golem easy? It doesn't get Thorns until level 2, so have 1pt in IG and some form of +skills. Try casting with 1pt and then entering a new game with +skills equipped, then try the opposite..

Edit add: Yes, I'd been using the initial 1 minute when refreshing my characters on the realms. Make a game, shift something in inventory to dirty the character, then exit and bring in a new character so I didn't have to go through the new game creation queue. Also noticed the map thing from exiting one game and making a few temporary games to try and find just the right merc.

Trivia question: Blizzard's battle net and the clones (bnetd) - how do they compare for handling multiple logins on the same account?
