Okay fellow Diablo III players, the game goes live tonight at midnight PST.

If you have bought the game already, you can predownload the client and the files and you'll be ready to play.

If you haven't, what are you waiting for?

There is a good How To Here.

Of course, those of us who pre-ordered more than two years ago will just have to wait for the old snail-mail to catch up. Should have my copy by the weekend, I guess.

Ahhh Gremlin, that is the pits. Hopefully yours has already shipped.

Course, I'm not going to have time to play....I have Dentist appointments and g'kids all week.

Could you not do the digital download?

I can't wait! I wonder if I can stay awake until midnight. I'll be too tired to play but I at least want to log in one time.

I guess we just find the folder we downloaded it to and click on it, since there's no icon on the desktop.

I'm sorry you have to wait, Gremlin. Personally I'd rather have the dvd, but I did the download.

JeanK, you need to find the folder and click on setup.exe. That will download some more updates and then you will get an install button. Click on that and let it run until your play button lights up.

It goes live at midnight PST so that is 2 a.m. for me and possibly 3 a.m. for you in Fla.

I got the dispatch email last night


But that would have meant paying for it again. I want to play the game... but not that much!

Oh, I guess us old-worlders will have to wait until tomorrow

MY game is out for delivery today by UPS..

I want to play alone...So why do I have to download these things at Midnight to play?

I got in last night but was pretty tired. If anyone wants it PM me, and I'll give you my battle tag. I do enjoy this game.
Andrea
JeanK, me too!

Ahhh Gremlin, I hope yours gets there quickly.

I have the digital download but I got it for free. I bought the collector's edition and can just enter the key from the game inside to upgrade my digital edition. I wouldn't have paid for it twice either.

Smoosh, have you gotten in yet?

Darleen, did you stay up to download and play?

Andrea, I'm glad you got in. I havent' had a chance today to even try.

I had a dental appointment first thing and then swung by Best Buy to pick up son's game. I didn't realize until I got there that I was slurring my words because my mouth was numb!

Installing the game was easy, but now the server is having problems. I wanted to change my battletag, but see that the option to do so is gone. I thought you had a one time chance to change.

Lindy, according to Battlenet's FAQ

Is that option gone from your Account Management page?

Got the Install done....

The server is down I just now got to play...Now can't...This is WHY I hate games you have to play online...

Looney, that option is gone. I saw it there before, so I don't know what happened to it.

I was on for a few minutes this morning, but when I tried to get on this afternoon the server was still down. I'll try again later.

The graphics are looking a bit fuzzier than they did in the beta. I hope that's one of the things they're fixing!

Darleen, they are doing emergency patching to the NA server...which is probably why it is down. Also, everyone and their grandmother is probably trying to play. Diablo son says it will be this way for a week or so and then it should be stabilized. No help though when you want to play and can't.

Lindy, email Blizzard customer support.

JeanK, I'm on my way to update my account and then see what I can see.

Thank You ,L4L

All I have to say is that excuse for Blizzard is Unacceptable...People have waiting 12 years for them to get it right....

I was playing for 1 hour then got an error message...Could not proceed....Very frustrating to say the least....

Darleen, according to Twitter, the servers are down for maintenance until at least 5:30 or 6:30 CST. I think the roll-out gremlins are working overtime.

I do wish they had an offline mode...but maybe I will install Diablo 2 which I never played and entertain myself with that while I wait for the gremlins to get squashed.

I managed to get myself into a queue about 1/2 an hour ago, but since I'm going out soon I had to leave it. Hopefully things will be up soon.

This is pretty typical of roleouts or expansions, so I'm not surprised. It will be a while, I'm sure, before the big bugs are smoothed out.

Thanks L4L

I somewhat agree LOL...I just thought of something funny..When I was playibg Book Of Unwritten Tales..The part where the two Old guys are playing an online game, and the Monkey is controlling the online server, and I would have to get the Knome to distrack the monkey so the server won't work..

I feel like those old guys in that game..

I think it's back up guys...too late for me to play tonight...but hopefully it will stay up and I'll get to have fun tomorrow

Its back up.....Playing as I type WOOHOO...

Love ....The Game...

I've been bouncing in and out all day as time permits. No problems so far getting in (hope that doesn't hex me).

What class are you all playing?

I've been playing a monk and tonight will most likely play a demon hunter with hubby tonight. But we will see...depending on what class he wants to play.

L4L....I am the Demon Hunter...I love her cause ..I also had luck with the Bow Hunter on the Diablo 1 & 2 Games....I love the hand to hand combat....

I get confused with the wizard , and using spells...... LOL

I'm playing as a witch-doctor. I love having the ability to send things in to fight for me. I would have tried the monk, since I like having healing abilities, but monk's are melee, which I'm pretty bad at!

BTW, does anyone know if there is a way yet to change the chat fonts? They're pretty small and blurry for me. I know in Wow you can change the size and color.
