Diablo III

[King Ellis]

Myself, Dan and maybe Mick are on, anyone else coming?

[TKz]

I'm just online now, waiting for my download to finish before I get into it.

[King Ellis]

How long'll that be?

[Herr Matzat]

The servers are busy at this time. Please try again later. (Error 37)

OH FUCK OFF! I don't even want to play online!

Just write your password in a text document. Copy, past, enter spam it on the login screen. Never took me longer than 1-2 minutes when the server was set up to be played on. Straggly enough i could only make it on the US server.

OH FUCK OFF! I don't even want to play online!

I don´t even know if offline play will be an option. With SC2 you could play offline but with no achievements active and stuff... but D3 is coming with this wacky auction house were you can earn and spend real money... i sure hope they will allow some kind of offline play.

I started playing and forgot it was a multiplayer game.

It was pretty fun! But the story isn't exactly gripping, which I think will hurt it for me. I found a badass bow with my Demon Hunter.

[Ruki]

Yeah, fuck this game. Tried 3-4 times to install it. Diablo 3 can get fucked.

[rocksta]

Oh shutup you better still get it

[Ruki]

If I can't get the beta installed, what are the odds of me getting the full game installed? :/

[LUKIE]

Changed it to eclectic mode, so now I am a knife wielding monk hacking the shit out of everything.

I love this game now.

I don't know I can't even get my launcher to download the files but I'm still going to be getting it.

We just entertained ourself by pulling level 1 characters through the last dungeon (on hardcore to make it more interesting). After we had both our new characters on level 5 we used a login trick to start the final quest with these two characters. Still not much of a challenge but we had a blast.

[RoHitman Reigns]

Got it paid off today for midnight release, I'm solid now for when comes out.

So apparently, you switch regions at will be you have a different friends list and group of characters on each server.

Australians are listed on the American servers so I guess that'll be the one we're all going to converging on for group play.

Well, that's just the way the servers work. It might be simpler if you use Battle.net's RealID feature.

[rocksta]

Everyone should go US East. It's the right choice

May I direct your eyes here, where Peter Chung & Titmouse Studios have created a lil' video.

There's no monthly fee for this one right?

Correctamundo. You can actually sell items on a real-money auction house at no charge (though Blizz takes a chunk of the coin if it sells and if you opt to transfer it from your Blizzard account to a PayPal account). So if you're good enough, you could make a bit of coin.

Disclaimer: No matter how good you get, don't expect to make any coin.

I'm expecting about $2 to $5 a week max if I put in a ton of time and maybe a $25-30 item once every 6 months or so. The money to time ratio is obviously not there if you're looking at it as a job with people running on multiple boxes and potential botting and such but factor in the enjoyability and it's a nice little perk. If I can eventually make my money back on the sequel to the game that has dominated so much of my video gaming career that's not a bad deal.
