Lets see,
Blizzards record on the european server in the last 3 days.
Wednesday: 2am 8 hour maintenance ok thats fine.
4pm on the same day error 37 until 11pm.
11pm until 6am fine.
Thursday: 4pm till 8 pm error 37
8pm until I left 9.15 pm fine
Friday : 12.15am till 1 am fine
1am until 3am unscheduled maintenace (hang on)
3am still down maintenace now till 5 am (there's more)
5am still down maintenace till 7am
7am servers are back online but work beckons now.
4.30pm error retrieving hero list
5.15pm gets online to fight diablo in single player mode
5.40pm in middle of said fight error creating your party
5.41pm error retrieving hero list.
That's just 3 days and some people wonder why there has been so many complaints,its 3 weeks since launch and this is the service that Europe is receiving. I am sorry to say this but this product is definately NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.
No company can say that their product is fit for purpose, when it has a greater period of downtime than uptime. As a byword during the time I was not attempting to be online or actually online, the forums were reporting the same errors as normal so its not just bad luck in my case.
While many companies, excuse this sort of thing on release days and the week after, this was only the last 3 days of Diablo Europe.
Come on Blizz fan boys defend this,cause no game has such a bad record of downtime.
BTW 19.30 hours full service was resumed and diablo still kicked my arse until 21.30 hours.
Here is hoping I can log in at 02.20.
Guess what, the servers are down again.
I rest my case.
I have learnt my lesson with MMO's do not try and set up accounts on day 1. This is nearly 3 weeks after launch and ready for this worse than WoW on launch day in 2004.
