this stupid open beta download is going so freaking slow, even on a fast connection. I hate it when the bottleneck is on the other side of the line. It's only going at like 2.5 kbps on my t3 connection! It says i still have 12 hours left!

You're one of the other lucky ones too? I've been trying to download it all day, and I still haven't finished it. Stupid server keeps logging me off.

How much you want to bet that idiots that haven't even recieved access codes are creating the bottleneck.

I feel like I'm on a modem .

The ftp site for cdrom.com is supposed to be one of the fastest too. It's only inching along at 2.4 KB/s!!!

i eventually got dropped by the server,so i went to diabloii and downloaded from them. The transfer went at about 50 kbps, and finished fairly quickly. I player my character up to either 6th or 7th level. Where are you guys? I wish i cuold play as the necro again...

Some of the chat room wall flowers were saying that they might expand to then next act, but I doubt it.

If it weren't a beta, I'd demand a refund for the inconsistent server performance.

Cool

the next act? they didn't even give us the full first act. all they gave us was the first (and smallest) 1/3 of the first (and smallest) of three acts. They could've at least included up until Andariel...

you're MasherS' friend? cool. Are you the guy that I was playing against (some random guy i had never talked to before who just entered my game who asked, "Shouldn't you be posting away on GotApex?" I found that kind of humorous and thought i'd share it with everyone.

ps - my Battle.net and character name is ProMinx; that's how they knew it was me. Almost every SN i use is ProMinx, as well as referral program.

According to avault.com The game just went gold... but you know how rumors are. Here is a link to the article
http://www.avault.com/news/displayne...=662000-145743

But from what I have heard the game should be out by late June, well at least hopefully, you can only run through the demo so many times, no it is just time to look for gem shrines or trade for perfects

Anyways I am on west a lot, Kacarp is the name so see you around.

Hey everyone, the game is very addicting, I know, I was one of the original 1000 BETA TESTERS. The most powerful class by far in the game was the AMAZON, but I think BLIZZARD corrected...er.. I mean readjusted the amazon to a more reasonable playing level. The thing that made the amazon so powerful was her multiple shot combined with magic arrows and bow, simply, she could clear a whole room of monster solo without moving a step.
Just wanted to say that game DIABLO II is worth the price, you better reserve the game because it is going to be sold out before you know it.
Me, going to get the game for sure, a great game plus to see my name in the CREDITS..
