Not really. Everyone can login on the EU servers so we have US gamers smashing them like there's no tomorrow. Thus the login servers being really crowded :j
Even more than an hour after the launch, people can rarely log in (after copy-pasting or typing their password in hundreds of times). If they have the nerves for that, they can kill one or two mobs, and then get kicked out of the game.
Why is there no login-queue? Why do people who want to play the game are forced to type or paste in their password hundreds of times? I don't know.
That the servers are that crowded that people get constantly kicked and can't login anymore was to be expected I guess. After all: "players can't play the game because of there are just too many!" is better advertisment than just "game started".
And yes, the confirmed global play is off until after NA releases. So unless you have a good proxy or some other technical setup, you're mashing login for no reason. That's probably what's overloading the login servers lol.
yeah pretty much the reason I'm not going to midnight release.
Figure servers will be a mess for at least a few hours after official launch.
Hopefully it's better tomorrow as I took the day off work..
Exactly the same reason I am not bothering with midnight release. Figure I will enjoy my night tonight, get a good night's sleep, and pick the game up after work tomorrow. The servers will (hopefully) be in working order by then.
While I see all of you as my Diablo III comrades in arms, I must admit, I really hate all of you right now. WTF was I thinking, pre-ordering through Best Buy for a few measley Reward Zone points?

Don't worry I ain't playing either.
I wanted to put some extra into the game so I bought the CE version.

Oh...I honestly feel very sorry for you. After sooo many games pre-ordered via Best Buy, and then havng to double purchase from someplace else days later just to play by the 3rd day, I gave up on Best Buy a while ago. Nothing, and I mean nothing they can offer in Reward Zone can make up for the stress they will put you through to get what you payed for when you SHOULD have it in your hands but dont.
Well got in an hour after launch, played for 2 and half hour on my barb and saw what was beyond the skel-king, I am also convinced the difficulty was pipped just up a little? three times I had to chug a potion, there was also a few new events and books (but I guess I could of missed them in beta what with the randomness and all).
Ill play more tomorrow after a sleep as i have the day off work.

The launch in Europe is utter BS.

Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)
There are streams on twitch.tv about US gamers spamming the login screen.
Don't know if they've bought the EU versions though.
I heard its not working for euro/asia
Hopefully they get it working for the America release which is in about 7 hours 38 mins 30 secs
Yeah seems like I was wrong. The streamers are playing with EU account.
Yeah I just realised why people saying they cant log in , because they dont have license to play on that server with America version lol
yeah pretty much the reason I'm not going to midnight release.
Figure servers will be a mess for at least a few hours after official launch.
Hopefully it's better tomorrow as I took the day off work..
Thank you Euros, for being the login-testers
Hopefully they'll iron it out for NA release.

Seems like blizz got it working two hours after the launch.
Not bad at all imho.

Hopefully the US release goes a bit smoother then so I don't have to sit at my computer for 2 hours! xD
