They wiped the AH? So basically all the stuff I put up before the server shutdown last night is just gonna clog me up until they time out?
That's pretty lame.

Nothing but error 37 and timeouts since the emergency maintenance 
I was just reading about the Tasker and Theo gloves and wanted to see how much they were going for, but I guess I'm not cool enough to get in.

New Life on Hit/Spirit Spent Fist weapon, hopefully. I have a 800 DPS one but that's not enough if I want to go through Act 3. I need DH/Wizard levels of damage to go with my resist.

Yeah, I've got 4 slots locked out for much the same reason.
But everything I've put up in the past half hour is selling like wildfire.
Up to 150K now.
EDIT: And, of course, the auction house has crashed once again.
I just got in and can't even access the AH. It shows as unavailable.
I believe Garriot used the term to describe UO in 97. I know the term was around in 99 when I was playing EQ.
Crap! in-between error 37 I get a message saying I have to update then i get the appcrash message as well.
Update* reinstalling the game from the DVD has fixed my issues, I can now update.
If you can manage SK on inferno then farm that. Has a higher chance of dropping higher level items. If you cannot, drop down to Hell in Act 4 and farm there.

this is dumb.
I got sniped on an upgrade that was going for super cheap... so I took my anger on the AH by sneezing at it.
Sorry guys.

This is why I've stopped playing after my first run through. I have no fucking clue if the game will even work when I try to log in.

Yeah same. I login, get a message of either servers a re full or that the needs to be patched and will shut down. If I hit ok, it shuts down then hard crashes once I'm back at the desktop.
Why on earth the launcher itself doesn't just update the client without the rigmarole of making me login first is beyond me?
Tons of whining, no matter what; That said, this has been rough. I don't understand why the US commodities auction has been down for a week basically.
Twisted Metal was pretty bad.
My experience actually got worse as time went on and "patches" came out.
I can't even play online games now because it is a guaranteed freeze lock-up.
Coming from that to this as my next purchased game...
I'm about to quit gaming altogether. Fucking horseshit.
The EU servers are down for maintenance now I think as I can't connect to them any longer, will we see a repeat of all these issues when they finally get 1.0.2.9749 up on them?
I can't believe they have decided on an update time table that means global play is going to be broken for near enough a day though, by staggering the updates.

Guess I dodged a bullet there, too, then. That was a game I really looked forward to, but didn't end up getting.
Fair enough. It's pretty close though, and I don't really feel like the term had gained a lot of currency yet. I forgot about EQ, though.

I can't even launch the game after the new patch came out. It just updates and then the launcher just hangs there and won't load the game. So frustrating.
Yeah it was a new genre, and because of the time and costs required to make them, few games were available so the uptake on the term was slow. People were still calling them graphical muds, which essentially was what they were.

I feel bad for the guys who work on the Auction House backend team. I can forgive them for some initial launch problems, but it's been 2 weeks now and it hasn't really improved at all. Given that I've implemented similar systems on previous games I know how difficult an Auction House can be, especially when it has to scale to such high load demands, but they really should have had most of this ironed out by now, and it's pretty shameful that they still haven't fixed the major bottlenecks. I suspect there's a fundamental design flaw somewhere, like the whole thing is some stupid web service or it's hosted on the cloud.

So, I tried to log on and I get a few busy messages. Tried again maybe 15 minutes later and now get the log-in information is incorrect. I log into my battle.net account and get the same thing. Email attached to that account is locked as well. This is with an authenticator. Lol, this game and company is just lovely.

Servers full?
I've never personally got that message but that pisses me off hearing it.
Thats some bullshit, like a movie theater selling tickets to a sold out show.

oh my god i still can't playyyyy
Has someone actually said this?
I honestly don't get this argument. There are online services that serve way more than 6 million users. There are online services that never go down because there's something called backup servers. And don't tell me this happens with other online games too. Just because video gamers are willing to put up with this doesn't mean they should.
They have a beta to test things out. Servers failing and full means 1) The game wasn't ready for launch, or 2) They don't have enough servers.
Money cannot fix everything but they can hire the best people they can find and buy more servers. Servers still full after they bought more servers? Then buy some more! Blizzard chose to keep everything online and have the servers do all the calculations. If having enough servers to allow everyone who bought the game to play at the same time is not a sustainable business model, then this is their problem. Customers should never have to make excuses for them.

this is fraud
I had to re-install from the DVD and made sure my server options was correct. That fixed it for me.
Wat.
