Well.. you are on US servers, with everyone scrambling to try out the latest changes.

Not long now, can't wait. I can remember throwing a sicky to finish D1, naughty.
I'm sure in the last few pages it was mentioned using the code 'DIABLO5' got you £5 off when you order from Tesco.
Not long now, less than a month. Watching the Dev diaries and the class videos is killing me as well.
Still whacking out a fair few hours on the Beta at the moment though but am wondering what the latency issues will be like on release. Last week had two days worth of laggy games and the odd hour this week.

Its hard to judge because the beta servers are US based. So it will be -- EU servers vs the congestion on release.
Id imagine latency to overall be much lower, but can imagine everything being a little crazy on release.

Do tesco charge straight away if you preorder with the £5 discount? Or wait until it is dispatched?
I pre-ordered it from Tesco 2 weeks ago and they charged me straight away. I didn't like it tbh but hopefully I will have it on release date.
Go to options/Account/ set server region selection to The Americas. Stopped me getting this error.

I've played the beta when it wasn't so busy, and with a ping of 150-200ms, it'd completely playable and you don't even notice the lag.
I suspect once we get our own EU servers, there won't be an issue at all. Maybe around patch times, with millions of slavering gamers trying to get on... but I can live with that.
Well i be damned, soon as it started to download and update the beta client my Virgin Super Hub started doing the reboot cycle just like with WoW. Not a big fan of diablo tbh but i think theres gonna be a lot of upset people over this 
I thought someone might have noticed this in beta, its not the actual game but the Hub needs a update to stop it happening, i think they been waiting over a year on the virgin forums so not gonna hold my breath

Strange. I ordered the CE version and have not been charged.

What?
I have a Virgin Media Super Hub and mine hasn't missed a beat this year. I just downloaded and ran the BETA just as I would any other download and app, no issue.
Not going to ruin it for myself by hammering the beta before release.
Happy to wait for release and experience it all for the first time
Having never played any of the Diablo series I might take a look to see what all the hype is about!
