Diablo 3 was a total mess when it came out and it went on to sell 12 million.

yes a lot of sales for many things are had from previous items,games,services (the list is endless) but now if a fourth came out I wouldn't even watch a trailer.

for me personally they have ruined that IP.

Having received my DVD from Game this morning, is their any point in me trying to do anything at all on line today, or am I best waiting until tomorrow (Friday)?

Thanks!

Thinking about getting this game, but seems to be riddled with online problems atm...

Just wait a few days then? It isn't actually out in the UK yet but I don't think tomorrow will be a smooth launch, no matter what EA have said.

I'm with you there, my account was actually hacked and stolen but I wasn't too bothered, I much prefer Torchlight 2 anyway.

How do you mean a total mess?

Just been disconnected from the servers, sorry arknor for not responding to you.

Managed to add you in the end and join but the chat is so laggy, it must be like 10-15 mins behind?

Anyway built a pretty impressive town so far, which just plunged into darkness because I was borrowing power from you arknor.

So I'm guessing I can't buy power off you because I've been disconnected?

Hope it resyncs soon.

yea I typed some stuff to you in chat but it never apeared for me then I had to nip into town so haven't played since

EDIT: I'm back in straight away and I see some other OCUKERS have moved in to OCUK world

add snoop1050 ingame anyone that wants to find the map easily

I just loaded Cities XL Platinum again and I'm enjoying playing this. I had enough frustrations that first week with Diablo 3. I cancelled my Pre Order for Simcity 5 and I'll review things again when the storm dies down a bit.

This is what i did, at least with Cities XL its playable and is a step-up from SC4 (Gameplay & GFX), so it will tide me over until all this nonsense is resolved, or a crack of some kind is produced for SC5

Have been playing Cities XL also

SC4 I can't get into the gfx are too bad lol so Cities XL has been tiding me over!

Funnily enough if I hadn't been bitten by the train wreck that was (is?) Diablo 3 last year, I probably would have pre-ordered this on the spot. I suppose there is one small thing to thank Blizzard for after all!

What's the problem people had with Diablo 3?

I'm pretty sure I got on ~ok and played fine at release.

Error 37 - Barely anyone could connect to the server to play the game when it was released.

If you had no problem then you clearly wasn't around when D3 launched. Bad memories of wasting hours at my PC attempting logon. Most popular games suffer the same problem though. Right after D3 I saw it again with Guild Wars 2.

The whole game was down on the first day and even two weeks after launch people were still getting error 37 at european peak times.

For those who are online and playing now, add me. Origin ID: Robboto

Been playing since Americas came online, just too few people on Europe servers to get anything fun going.

I received and played my collectors edition of Diablo 3 on the day of release and over the next two weeks without problem. I think I was only unable to play once on a weekend. Fine other then that
