Blizzard is laughing at your misfortune.
Blizzard is laughing at your misfortune.
if i ever go to blizzcon im telling metzen off ... straight up dude.. dont launch a game until its rdy
I'm pretty sure Blizzard has foreseen this, and many of us have as well. Some people here haven't though lol, not like this is their first time trying to log in on release day...right? Or maybe it is /shrug.
Why don't YOU stop trying to log in so I can play ;-)?
Breaking news from later this summer: Same thing is going to happen when Pandaland goes live.
Also, breaking news from early 2014: Same thing is going to happen next expansion.
Given the choice between
a) get enough servers for launch, and have way more than they need for the remainder of the game's lifespan, or
b) get enough servers for every other day, ever, but not have enough for launch
... nobody is going to pick (a) -- at least nobody who has to manage a game company and pay for things. Tonight is one night for a game that's going to be running for years and years. If they want to avoid this in the future they should go with a launch time around 8am. People who go to work/school don't have time to hammer the servers, while work/school skippers and unemployed bums won't all wake up in time. :P
This is the issue many people foresaw when they announced that D3 would be battle.net only, rather than having a separate single player mode. I'm waiting to log in to play a single player game...
Think of the Diablo servers as a funnel, the mouth can take in more then the spout can expel.
Shouldnt all you 'mericans be in bed?
GO TO BED!
Error 37 is so 30 minutes ago. All the cool people have moved on to error 300008.

Please do your research and appreciate what you got.
