Format:	`(STRING) [] Channel names, each terminated by a null string.`

Contains a list of available channels.

For some reason, Diablo II adds extra data to the channel list (as can be seen in game), and older clients list blocked channels, such as Warez and Backstage.

Actually, no it's <strong>not</strong> separated by 0x0D 0x00.

It is separated by null-terminators (0x00). You should keep reading until you come across an empty string, or a double 0x00. Of course, you can always keep reading until you reach the end of the packet length, then removing the last channel (if empty), which works also.
