First person to start it at midnight report if there is a patch for it. :P
SCII had a patch out by 1am on release date, so confusing to install it and start it up and see "installing update" at 1am!
Should have mine on the 16th (CE shipped from Cali).

Already have mine.  Showed up 30 mins early for a midnight release and 4 minutes after midnight, I was driving away with CE in tow. :D

EDIT: So I get it installed, everything is ripped and ready to go.  I look at my clock, "Okay, I'm only 12 minutes late..." *logs in*  Error 33...it seems I'm jumping the gun.  SLOWEST....hour.....EVER...  :bhead


EDIT the EDIT:  Oh for the love of...  These are not mere minutes...these are HOURS, with an X10 tagged to em. :bhead

Yeah.  Took me about 10 minutes to FINALLY get in.  Kept hanging up on the Retrieving Hero's List bit, then timing out. :bhead  But when I FINALLY got on... :banana: :x

If you haven't kept up with Blizzard news, or their twitter, the errors are normal. They are having Server Issues due to the millions signing on in such a short period of time. They had to put in a time limit to log-ins per second. They've been expecting it and have been up-keeping the servers sine about 7pm last night due to it. :P

 :lol  I was well aware of what was going to happen when it went live.  When I finally got on, there were (at the time I checked, this was about 10-15 minutes after going live I may add), only 350 or so people in public games.  At this moment, there are 12k+.  It is fairly early in a Tuesday.  I expect some trouble come Friday night, where I'm expecting to see just a few more :noid

When I left for work this morning my son was already a level seven monk. At least I think it was a monk.

 :rofl  I've been playing for a couple hours now.  Brings back some memories of D2, only with out the allocation to skills and attributes.  Oh boy, if you screwed up on that...re-roll. :bhead

As long as everything's good by the time I get home from work today, they will be spared the full force of a sternly worded email from me.   :furious
