EDIT: In the finishing stretch of the installer, the devs change the color of the progress bar and go into minute details of how much longer it’s going to take. Brilliant. The anticipation!!!
—————–
At 8:01AM PDT servers around the world opened for the launch of Diablo III. But Blizzard really knows how to tease and the servers only unlock the installer, in time for the actual launch of the game which is sometime on the 15th of May PDT.
You know what’s better than trending on Twitter? Crashing a server. After the game unlocked, everyone got this error:
“ERROR: Unable to initialize streaming. Please check
your Internet connection. If this problem persists,
please contact Blizzard Techinical Support.
(CreateStreamingManifest::GetStreamingManifestContents)”
Looks like the seed hasn’t been uploaded yet. Or something. Or really there are just too many people.
This is the most in(tense) product launch ever. A launch I’ve been waiting for over a decade. Exciting!
