I've been trying to decompress the huge GW DAT file in order to store the sound effects, textures, etc; but until now.... only frustating results

I tried the usual .DAT unpackers, i even made a copy of the almost 2GB file into my Docs directory ( just to keep intact the original game file), but still without positive results.
Is it possible to do it, without harming the game file? HOW??
Ansiously waiting for replies mates

Cya later!
