lol...

Thought this post might be of interest to some of you... Or not.

QuoteOur legacy Battle.net team is in the process of upgrading the hardware that runs StarCraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, and Diablo II. The new servers are of similar specification and ability, but running on a smaller form factor, and modern and more maintainable hardware. Before we roll these out we'll first be testing the new hardware on a Public Test Realm (PTR) called Stratholme in Warcraft III, and US Test in all other titles. To ensure the latest data is available on the PTR to facilitate testing, we'll be copying data from Azeroth/USEast which will mean an approximate four hour downtime the morning of May 29.

~9:30 a.m. PDT, May 29 – Azeroth/USEast unavailable for four hours to copy data to PTR
~1:00 p.m. PDT, May 29 – Azeroth/USEast returns, and Stratholme/US Test becomes available for testing with copied data

We anticipate an approximate one to two week testing period of the new hardware, and appreciate your assistance in logging in, playing a bit, and letting us know how it goes. We'll be creating a new PTR Feedback forum (http://forums.battle.net/index.html?sid=3000) shortly before maintenance on May 29.

We'll be rolling out the new hardware to Azeroth/USEast first, and will provide further information once we're ready to begin transitioning over.

Haha, cool stuff RR. This was basically how l2k-Shadow got the SC Beta to work over Battle.net, IIRC.

I don't mean to diverge from the topic...but I remember my dad buying Diablo for me in 1996. I have no idea what I did with the original but I would like to play it again before D3 is out. Anyone know where from I can "borrow" the game? 

I dunno about the full game, but I know you can download DSHR for free right from the Blizz FTP: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/demos/diablosw.exe

Grats again man, ^_^

Mhmm.

I lol'd.

ohai.

Also for the record, D3 is not going to be region locked. It's going to work just like D2, not SC2.

Yeah, glad that I got to play PvP at the BlizzCon, .

Yeah, I saw this on Twitter almost instantaneously... That's crazy. Some people say it's because the iPhone 5 wasn't released at the keynote.

Potentially! They did say they were porting the games to Bnet2... and they always say that when I ask every BlizzCon and Press Event, .

Anyone of you got a beta key yet?

And yeah, I've been in the Beta for a few weeks now.

The F&F is currently up and running.

Yeah, it started... The 6th at around 10PM PST.

We already have a lot of files reversed and have parsers/viewers made, . Too bad you aren't using freenode like all the cool kids.

I'd hit it.
