It is stupid, everyone starting at the same time though.

I got as far as timing out on making my monk.






I think the servers are dead. Forums went down for maintenance.

Definitely agree with you there.

With all the anticipation and pre-orders they took they should have 10x the servers they have now

Mine is coming from Amazon. I hope tomorrow isn't one of those days the UPS man decides to come at the end of his shift.

This is the problem with modern games. You need to be signed into a server to play whether you want single or multiplayer. You NEED the internet to play, and if the servers are busy/down you cannot play.

As of 6 minutes ago Blizzard finally released a statement, bs Blizz, no one is playing the game, no one.

"Welcome to Diablo III! The fight for Sanctuary has begun.

Please note that due to a high volume of traffic, login and character creation may be slower than normal. If you're unable to login to the game or create characters, please wait and try again. We've temporarily taken our Battle.net websites offline and launched more servers to accomodate for the traffic. We hope to resolve these issues as soon as possible and appreciate your patience."

Are you the one on OCN crying?

There is a reason why I ordered from amazon. They are one of the only stores that I know will accept game returns. If the game is absolute trash you can return it.

I'm having lots of fun so far.  Having a lunch break at the moment.  I think it goes without saying, but for the next week or two, please remember to make sure to add spoiler tags to your posts if they contain spoilers.  That should give people time to complete their first run through and discovering things themselves.

I got in about 4am as well,  could log in sporadically before then, but couldn't make a character.

I got to lvl13 before I had to shower to go to work.  Work will suck today.

Jatobi,  guess passes limit you to the same section as the beta,  level 13 and the 1st boss the Skeleton King.

It has completely blown trying to get in. I couldn't get in last night (stopped around 3:45) then I realized I installed diablo on the wrong hdd. I installed it on my boot drive with only 14gb left and took me down near 6gb left. So I uninstalled it last night then installed to proper hdd. Well game is still trying to install still have about 25% left.

No subscription, you can play by yourself, or with friends.

ROFL, the same damn thing happened when they released Diablo II and Starcraft all those years ago.

I could not get on battlenet for days when they first released.



Maybe they are just paying homage to the diablo II launch day fiasco

All Diablo 3 servers are down as of 130 PM EST to resolve problems, they will be back up in an hour.

I installed last night, and played for about 5 minutes this morning before work just to say I played on launch day.  There is just no way to really deal with the launch issues on this scale, so you'll likely see outages for awhile.  If things are somewhat stable I might play tonight, but I plan on giving it a good couple of days before I really dive into it.

Was torn between barbarian and wizard....went with wizard.

Didn't play beta, I want to jump in and find it all out as I go.

KInda glad I fell asleep waiting for launch (I'm CDT).

Woke up at 0730CDT and logged on and played without a hitch.  Got to levl 16, felt like I needed to eat something and when I got back there were noticed of servers down.

Great story, so far.

And this requirement to be online to play really blows.  See what happens Blizzard?  See what happens when you require a live online connection to play?  Can't even play singleplayer while you're trying to unfuck the servers.

You guys have heard about some guy that finished the game already, right?  Played some barb, lvl 32 when done and took 12 hrs. Bet he's s happy camper right now.

I woke up an hour early to get some time in before work.  I'm chomping at the bit to get home and play a few more hours tonight.  As expected, the game shows the high level of polish we've come to expect from Blizzard (and eight years of development).

Game servers never went down. Must just have been login servers.
