Uber Tristram, open a portal, so we can get out stuff back?

Baal are right next to the portal

If there are at least two of you in a game and you don't want to risk it disappearing, one of you at a time can exit and then rejoin to get your stuff back.

Did you play a named by you game? Even if not so, you should have marked the game name set by the server before heading to

Uber Tristram, and it would be Game########## (#... is a 10-digit number visible as game password for the namesake game name) under party tab. This way if someone willing to help you quickly logged into the game, they would have had a chance to retrieve a new shiny hellfire large charm for you, while your character corpses lying there and watching the process.

You don't need two people in a game to save and exit and rejoin. For Ubers it's best to make a password game, and once the game has been running for a few minutes you can quit and save and then rejoin even if you're a solo player. After I've collected all uber organs I will sometimes quit and join with a another of my builds to cleanup areas I missed. Try it, go make a password protected game in lobby, play for a few minutes, quit and save and then rejoin.

I know this, but sometimes you just click play from the main menu. If so, you can do what I wrote above.

Yeah, games can be empty for up to ~5 minutes before expiring, so you have plenty of time to rejoin on disconnect, even on full PC crashes. I can also often come back to find my game still up after switching region for a trade (it depends on how long the trade(s) took, of course). There's also no minimum time to be in a game to "perm" it - you can literally create a game, leave it immediately, wait <5 minutes on lobby screen, and then rejoin it. The only condition is that you don't make/join another game in between. Empty games will expire instantly if you make/join a new game. Basically, the servers keep track of one game per account and region.

- If you create game A, and leave, you can rejoin it within 5 minutes.
- If you create game A, leave, make/join game B, game A will instantly expire even if it has been less than 5 minutes.

It gets a bit more complicated when involving multiple accounts, but it works on the same basic Principle:

- If you create game A, have another account join game A (game A is now tracked for both accounts), both accounts leave game A, both accounts can rejoin game A within 5 minutes.
- If you create game A, have another account join game A (game A is now tracked for both accounts), both accounts leave game A, the first account makes/joins game B while the second account remains on lobby screen, you can still rejoin game A within 5 minutes.
- If you create game A, have another account join game A (game A is now tracked for both accounts), both accounts leave game A, the first account makes/joins game B and the second account makes/join game C, game A instantly expires even if it has been less than 5 minutes.

I have more than one account and I tested the game expiration extensively back when I first got my second account, because I was curious to find out exactly how it worked.

Are you sure? Has it been changed in D2R?
AFAIR you had to wait 5 min. in a game in order to "perm" it in legacy D2. I did it by using /time command, waiting 6 minutes (to account for seconds, which are not displayed by the command) and using the command again.

Yes, it has been changed in D2R. I can't say for sure if it was from release or a bit later, because I never properly tested it until I had more than one account (which was back in ladder season 1 or 2).

It's easy enough to test. In fact, I just made a named & passworded a game, left it immediately, waited about 4 minutes, and was able to rejoin the game.
