What was really cool is that I came in with a guy that didn't reserve a copy so he just went up to the table and grabbed a box and then got in the line to buy it. He was out in like 10 minutes. The people that reserved a copy? Had to wait in two really long lines.

Just stupid. What was the point of reserving it?

Never ever ever ever ever doing this ever again.

OH and why didn't Blizzard allow you to play single player offline?

LAME LAME LAME.

How could they not have enough servers to support all the people that want to play the game?

The Blizzard website itself is slow as well.

AH! In order to play Diablo 3 you MUST have a continuous connection to the internet. There is no way to play Diablo 3 offline.

Heh, instead of Blizzard saying the servers are busy they should just tell everyone, "GO TO BED! There are 20,000,000 people trying to play right now!!! All us Blizzard employees have went home to sleep anyways. We'll see about fixing the game tomorrow or something...or maybe next week."

As we’ve unlocked the Diablo III installer early, many people will be ready to log in right when the servers go live at midnight, so we’re going to be closely monitoring the impact on the service. It’s possible we’ll need to adjust the rate at which we’re logging people in to ensure a stable experience, and if we do you may see a delay when attempting to login. Please be aware that a delay of up to 40 seconds is possible while the game attempts to connect you. If your connection doesn’t succeed in 40 seconds, you’ll be presented with an Error 37 message and asked to try again. If you see this error it does in fact mean that you should try again. We’ll be working around the clock to keep you informed of any issues that are occurring through the in-game breaking news window, as well as the official forums.
40 seconds??? that would be nice! Instead of over three hours now...

I think they broke the breaking news box because it is gone and I still can't play the game...

They need a working news box when the game is working I think.

1.) You need to create a battle.net account.
2.) You need to login to Diablo3 with the EMAIL address that you created. If you type an @ symbol, the login lights up.

I know it's stupid, the same thing happened to me. I think it's uber un-intuitive.
