Especially on a Tuesday. Like, you guys just had an 8 hour (!) maintenance window to make sure your shit was working. Which it did for 2 hours or so.
You mean Australian Prime Time right? Every... Fucking... Tuesday... Night! We put up with this shit in WoW for years - welcome to the Diablo single player experience where you can only play 6 days a week - if you are lucky. Roll on Torchlight 2 because much as I enjoy this laggy, "ok" game, I'm sick of this shit. |

I say this with love, but until Austrailia gets a stronger development community, you're probably going to get the short end of some sticks both on lag/downtime and pricing (for reasons I don't get).

Wait, they added a general chat?
Why the holy fuck would they go and do that? Can I add general chat to their office speaker system so they can fully understand how terrible general chats are? They're live youtube comments!

First thing I do when I log in to play: chat options --> leave channel. Works like a charm. |

There always was general chat, it was just off by default.

Now it's on by default and comes back on every time you login.  |

Europe fucked and AH wanked if you want gems or plans.
Servers too busy.
On my Day Off.
Once again, back to regretting this purchase. When's Torchlight ? They must be fucking giggling in glee at this catasraphuck.

Probably because they saw nobody was turning it on.
"Hey nobody's using chat!"
"Funny, they must not know it's there. Let's turn it on by default."
"What if they don't ever turn it on after leaving"
"Just make it turn on all the time. If they really care they'll keep leaving."

By next week, Blizzard will release some bullshit about how joining general constantly wasn't intended, and that there is a button in the menu options that lets you opt out of it upon login.

There's just one dude there who loves trolling General, and keeps trying to force it on everyone. "God damnit bob, did you commit a change that re-adds everyone to General again? Fucking hell!"

I think each General chat "room" caps out at 99 people. I think. Who knows?
I know how to leave WoW chat, the point I was trying to make is that I never want to auto-rejoin it, and that I do not wish to have to leave it every time I log in. It was a stupid idea, and they can't revert it fast enough to please me.

The amount of downtime during primetime is rapidly approaching clownshoes levels. But my annoyance may just be a function of my addiction.

I got that last night when I was trying to log in. I copy-pasted my password in and spam attempted to get in. It worked within a minute or two. Haven't tried this morning though. 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, launches like this were normal. Now? Is there any excuse for these problems 2 weeks after launch from a company with the resources Blizzard has? |

So the official reason for this outage is that too many people are reading the EULA at once.

Of course... assloads of people always turn out at launch and month 1, then attrition sets in. No sense in planning for the peak, just the norm. Of course, they seem to be causing the attrition themselves here... |

Well, thanks and howdy to all the American people who've friended me on the American Servers.
But I'm only here because the Euro servers are once again ass cuntingly down.

Out of curiosity does it keep a separate character list by region or can you still play your regular dudes?

Yeah. I was fine with the online thing for the entire game, but the fact that the Euro servers have been down the entire evening is totally unacceptable at this point. Indefensible even to a fan boy like myself.

The Euro servers have pretty much been offline for the entire launch. It's been disastrous and we have no clue why; what is the major difference between the US/Asia and us ?

So Euro servers aren't up? Or they are just crashing in primetime?
I went to the site and it said they are all up. I'm lost.

Socialism. Other than the first two days, I haven't run into any downtime or major problems since launch, and am enjoying the game greatly. Guess I'm just lucky apparently. |

If people are displeased with the product and are willing to return it in full condition within a specified period, then they absolutely should get a refund for their money.

Had my game crash for the first time today. One crash every 48 hours of playtime? I'll take that.
