Hello, I came back to playing diablo 2 with my friends after not playing for around a year. I checked my shared stash and I noticed that all of my items and gold disappeared. The same situation happened to my girlfriend, while my 3rd friend didn’t lose any of the items in the Stash. I was wondering if there is any way to restore or get these items back? We didn’t buy the newest DLC (Reign of the Warlock).
This sounds like you played Ladder a year ago. Naturally all Ladder stuff from back then is now gone because about 4 Seasons happened since then. To keep stuff from previous Ladders you have to get them from the retrieve-only tabs of your shared shash created after each Ladder before they get erased by the next Seasons end.
