Meh, kind of annoyed I can't log on but only because I am so excited about playing Diablo again. Like someone said on the Diablo forums, we may not be able to play it now, but 60 euro today or 60 euro next week, you were going to buy it. People do need to calm down, and part of the problem is people attempting to log in over and over then face>desking because they can't! We all need to be happier!

Haha, I didn't check Tech Support.
However, with the average age of most players (guesstimating by some of the things I've seen on these Forums) it was to be expected.

First of all: Your right that there is too much flaming happening, it should'nt really be that way. But that being said it is also a matter of principle, this is'nt really about anything other than an old fashioned transaction: Money is given for a product. The product is then supposed to live up to its expectations.

They knew this was going to happen.
They did connect the diablo3 and the world of warcraft servers.

Thus they have two groups of dissatisfied custemors. Look at the sales numbers? There have been a predicted 3.5 million copies sold, and I will bet you can find those numbers have been increased, that always happens with blizzard games. They always break the record.

Here is some raw investor stats from the company itself for you:
http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=672062

In short? They knew it would happen. We are paying for a product, they are not delivering. And again: Its not about "hating" blizzard, its about a money and product. Not a big deal for a subscription game like wow, but it is a matter of principle.

That being said, they have warned that their login servers might get problems in the past. But that just does'nt make it any better. :)

They wiped the forum; except for one thread which was kept, all 55 pages were created in the last 27 hours. It's impressive - just not in a good way.
