As we mentioned earlier this week, we’ve decided to move out our target launch for the real-money auction house beyond our original estimated date of May 22. Our new estimated date for the launch of this new system is Tuesday, May 29.
To learn more about the auction house system, have a look at the comprehensive Auction House Guide or check out the updated Auction House FAQ.

A Blizzard bejelentette, hogy ismét lehetőségünk van a BattleTagünk módosítására.
Ez a lehetőség mindenki számára elérhető, és ingyenes. A folyamat hasonlóan működik mint az Sc 2 esetében a név váltás.
Fontos, ez a névváltoztatás csak egyszeri lehetőség.

A későbbiekben várható a többi Diablo 3 Act végi videó feliratozása is.

Diablo Players:

We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live.

To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm — and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game’s launch led to players experiencing error messages and difficulty logging in. These issues cropped up again last night for the Americas and Europe servers. Despite very aggressive projections, our preparations for the launch of the game did not go far enough.

We’ve been monitoring the game 24/7 and have applied several optimizations to help our systems better weather the global rush. As of late last night, specifically 11:50 PM PDT on May 15, all systems have been online and running relatively smoothly. We’re continuing to monitor performance globally and will be taking further measures as needed to ensure a positive experience for everyone. This includes some maintenance to implement additional improvements for each region.

In order to make sure everything is continuing to run as it should, we’ve decided to move out our target launch for the real-money auction house beyond our original estimated date of May 22. We’ll post further updates on that in the near future.

Aside from the tremendous number of players simultaneously logging in to the game, one of the launch-day service issues was linked to the achievement system. Some players began to notice early on that achievements were either not being earned properly, or not being saved between multiple logins. We’re investigating this issue and will provide a specific update as soon as possible.

We greatly appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties many of you encountered on day one. Please visit the Battle.net Support site or Support forums for the latest service-related updates or for help in troubleshooting any technical issues you may be having downloading, installing, or while playing the game.

Thank you again for your patience while we reinforce the gates of Sanctuary and further strengthen it for your onslaught.

Respectfully,
Blizzard Entertainment

Mindannyian sokat gondolkodtunk azon, hogy vajon mennyi idő alatt jut el az első játékos Inferno fokozatra. Method nevű WoW guild bizonyos tagjai már legyőzték Act 1 és Act 2 főbossait is a játék legnehezebb fokozatán! Még csak két nap telt el a játék megjelenése óta, így szinte biztosra vehetjük, hogy a srácoknak lenyűgöző játékidejük lehet a játékban. A hírre kattintva megtekinthetitek is a videókat, ezáltal szemtanúi lehetünk az ádáz küzdelemnek.

The situation is so, you must admit, your man would rather go in search of magical jewels, gloves sorcerers, and other heavy war clubs to get XP points rather than engaging in the research of your G-spot and gain sexual experience.

Do not despair over! We decided to help you!

To receive this offer, simply post on our Facebook page a photo of yourself along with the game Diablo III until May 28

Hihetetlen, hogy termékeiket egyes cégek/kereskedők micsoda kreativitással hirdetik, még olyan játék kapcsán is, mint a Diablo 3. Úgy néz ki az egész univerzumot megmozgatja ez a játék.

Ahhoz, hogy bejussunk a titkos pályára, szükségünk lesz egy bizonyos Staff of Herding nevű tárgyra. Ezt a botot a kováccsal tudjuk legyártatni, mindössze 6 különleges tárgy kell hozzá, amik a következőek:

• Black Mushroom —  A Cathedral  legelső szintjén egy szobában található meg (ritkán).
• Wirt’s Cowbell — Act II árusa árulja 100,000 gold-ért.
• Liquid Rainbow — Mysterious Cave-ben a Mysterious Chest-ben található, Act 2 Oázisában. Meg kell menteni egy öreg embert, aki kinyitja nekünk a ládát.
• Gibbering Gemstone — Act 3, Caverns of Frost-ban random módon dobhatja Chiltara. Azon a helyen van ez a barlang, ahol az ostromgépekkel kell harcolni. Ha úgy értek a barlang végére, hogy nem találkoztok Chiltara-val, akkor elölről kell kezdenetek (random spawnol).
• Leoric’s Shinbone — Leoric’s Manor kandallójában találhatjáható (ritkán).
• Plan: Staff of Herding — Act 4-en Izual dobhatja random módon. A receptet Haedrig-nek kell megtanítani.

Most pedig következzenek a videók:

10: 22 a.m. PDT- We are in the process of performing an emergency maintenance for all Diablo III servers to resolve several issues that are currently impacting the game. This maintenance may cause some interruption in communication, ability to log in, use of in-game features, and disconnections. We anticipate all servers will be available for play in approximately 1 hour.

Thank you for your patience.

Lylirra közölt velünk néhány további hibakódot:

Error 37
We’re aware that some players are experiencing Error 37 when attempting to log in to Diablo III. This error indicates that the Diablo III server is full and is likely the result of high login traffic. If you receive this error message, please wait and try again.

Error 3005 and 3006
Along with Error 37, we’re also aware of players receiving Error 3005 and Error 3006. If you receive either of these messages while playing, please wait and try again.

Error 14009/315300
We’re still looking into these issues, but a a player workaround is available in the meantime. If you are experiencing either of these issues and are using Windows, create a new user account with administration powers (http://www.wintuts.com/Manage-User-Accounts). From there, log into Diablo III.

Grayed-Out Login Button
Please make sure that you are using your Battle.net email address and password to log in to the game. Do not attempt to log in with your BattleTag.

Character Creation Issues
While most of the character creation issues have been resolved, it’s possible that if you attempted to create characters previously and did not log out, you may have actually maxed out your character list with “invisible” characters. If you are still receiving an error creating new characters, log out and log back in and then check your character list.

UPDATE1: Újabb kéket kaptunk, jelenleg az amerikai szervereken folyik a karbantartás:

I’ve updated the post to indicate that this is currently being performed for North American servers.

UPDATE2: Jelenleg az Americas servereken dolgoznak, 22:30 körül már rendben lesznek a login szerverek:

11:30 a.m. PDT- We are in the process of performing an emergency maintenance for Diablo III servers in the Americas to resolve several issues that are currently impacting the game. This maintenance may cause some interruption in communication, ability to log in, use of in-game features, and disconnections. We anticipate all servers will be available for play at approximately 1:30 p.m. PDT. We will provide further updates as necessary. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE3:

1:27 p.m. PDT – We’re in the process of testing and implementing multiple fixes for the current service issues. We’ll provide another update in approximately 1 hour.

UPDATE4:

1:55 p.m. PDT – Starting at approximately 2:15 p.m. PDT, we will be bringing Diablo III servers in the Americas offline for urgent maintenance to address several issues that are impacting the game. We anticipate that maintenance will last for about an hour and that servers will be available at approximately 3:30 p.m. PDT. We will provide further updates as they are necessary. Thank you for your patience.

A hírt később bővítjük további információkkal, amint többet lehet tudni a dologról!
