So I was prepared for Diablo! I went to my nearest seven eleven to get coffee to stay up...Too bad The furthest I got was the character creation screen. After that I got continuous errors.

Spamming my password wasn't helping either... Sleep > D3 at the moment.

How many of you guys actually created a character and started playing?

Stay in there.

I think its a near impossibility for US players to login right this second. Same thing happened with the EU servers a few hours ago.

nope, but i'm enjoying the awesome login meta game of hitting ctrl+alt+v then enter over and over again. I've seen the Retrieving Characters highlighted a few times so the rewards are getting better!

Haven't been able to get in yet (AU).

Not yet. It's frustrating to deal with *server* issues when I just want to play the single player portion for a bit.

I understand the idea behind it... but come on...

I got in, then the game froze on the character creation screen...

it funny that the company that runs an MMO with 10 million+ people is having trouble. Goes to show that always on DRM is a problem

This is the game, this is inferno mode

B.net is down in the US, they have tweeted that they will be bringing more servers online soon.

I don't know what people were expecting when they purchased a game that requires always on DRM even for the single player portion. You were all warned. You all payed for this.

Been trying for an hour with no luck. Guess I'll try tomorrow....sigh

4:00 am here on the east coast and no luck,

but I'll keep trying

Kind of crappy when all you want to do is play single player

Nope! been trying since it went live. Lucky I live in Hawaii so have a few more hours before I have to sleep

I'm in and playing!!!

I'm in too.

Just got back home from the midnight launch about twenty minutes ago. I don't know if I am going to be able to play tonight though, for some reason the game is taking forever to install.

finally got in at 1:30

Midnight was crazy in Europe (read: impossible to login), but played about half an hour before heading to work this morning, no issues getting in then.

I logged in fine about half an hour ago in europe.

The game is running great for me. No error message yet.

I guess I should of waited an hour and a half then!

hopefully it works at 6:30 AM.

SKIPPING INTRO TO COMPUTER FOR THIS!

You don't want a spunky Swedish roommate by any chance?

I used to play Diablo 3. Then I took an error to the knee.

Took me about an hour to get in, but once I did I've had no problem getting in and out as desired.

I logged in at 11:58pm and started playing. Played until about 2:30 am then went to bed because I get up at 6am for work. Everyone in the vent I was on was unable to log in until about 1:30am.

yeah i i logged in about 1am and played bout 5 hours to get through Act 1.

Logged in on first try, and no problems

Finally got in about 45 minutes after the servers went up, played for around 90 minutes and went to bed.

No one else acknowledged your wit? I will, pretty funny :) Great take on an old joke, he he.

I got in at about 3:20 and got to play until 5:00 eastern time. Now I go to work. Tired as shit, but it was worth it.

Anyone who believed they could play right when the game launched is CRAZY. Of course the game was going to have issues right away.

Hahaha, much obliged! Though, I imagine it would have fit better with the Error 37 thread.

I got in, made my character, got in a game. Then servers went down. Then I went to sleep. Then I woke up. Then I wanted to play. Now I'm at work and still want to play =(

All I can say is BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew this would happen.

This generation of kids scares me. We were all warned? We're all paying for this? The servers were jacked up for an hour in the middle of the night because a bazillion people all tried to log on at the same time. Oh noes!!! Let's run to the Internet and cry about how everyone is out to fuck us. Grow up

I'm not the one crying about it. Tons of people are, so I have no idea why you're directing that to me. I'm just saying that people were warned and should stop supporting obviously bad, invasive, and anti-consumer decisions.

Btw, the servers are down again and have been for 3 hours. Good thing they're using Battle.net, wouldn't want soloers to be able to play or anything.

Currently in Japan and trying to play with a really close friend back in the States today, and because of the time difference there is not a lot of time in which we can play together so it was a bummer to find that the servers were down.

I pre-purchased the game from Blizzard... but after seeing the GB vid and all the complaints I think I'm gunna wait til this weekend to start playing. Dammit Atlus, looks like you might get a Game of Thrones sale afterall!
