more than likely i will play barb and explore alot, then with 2nd char (havent decided which yet), will be faster (ish) runs, getting more pumped up with each passing day.
and ive just re started d2 with barb, getting into it real hard now.
how tilted is everyone going to be when the servers crash for like 2 weeks straight under the weight of D3? remember battlenet after the first few weeks of D2's release? ewww
but, maybe they've learned a thing or too from WoW. hopefully everything goes smoothly!
D2 was over a decade ago so it's not really that relevant, but it was horrible at launch as far as connectivity goes.
The first 3 or so days after release (weekedays) it was fine and when the first weekend hit, it basically was down, it was down more often than it was up the next 2-3 weeks and even then you got disc a lot and it was really laggy sometimes. It tookt hem about a month or two to get it anywhere near stable.
Of course this was back in the day and networking technology has improved a ton since then.
I thought the Cataclysm launch went pretty smoothly for as many people that it affected. I loggen on at 4am or whatever time on launch day and was able to see the new zones after about 30 minutes of queuing, etc.
