Diablo 3 has had a rocky launch that has drawn fans’ fury, despite being live for less than a day.
On their official Diablo Facebook page, developer Blizzard announced, “Please note that due to a high volume of traffic, log-in and character creation may be slower than normal. If you’re unable to log-in 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.”
You know how they could have avoided a lot of these issues? By not requiring a constant internet connection in order to play the game. Always-on DRM strikes another victory pose...
Unfortunately this is something I don't see being resolved anytime soon. Just wait until console gaming takes up a similar measure to combat piracy.
Well these issues will continue on for, at the most, the rest of the week before Blizzard finally gets a grip on things. If it takes longer...well...
people are exaggerating the issue by far. I've been playing most of the day without problems, and a message came up saying a server restart in 15 min. Get over it people. Is it slightly frustrating? yes. Would i go on twitter and forums and get all worked up with a raised blood pressure and sweaty palms pounding on my desk? no, thats ridiculous. grow up. seriously most online games have this problem on launch day. this isnt a new thing. if you didnt think this was going to happen then that is your fault.
and disagrees are either from console fanboys or ppl that wanted diablo/blizzard to fail. sorry you get yourselves all worked up over it.
Haven't been able to log on period, Still Waiting!
