I'm actually thankful that I didn't have to deal with any of this. I was totally bummed I had to go out of town this weekend since Friday. If you lost quest items such as your Horadric Cube, you will probably need to redo that portion of the quest.Ĭomment by crimsonhead on T10:44:12-05:00.Do NOT log out until you have done this, or you will permanently lose your equipped gear. If you still don't see your body, return to where you were last to see if it is there. Depending on the act, it may not be near the town center, so check all of it.

This means your character was probably killed just as the server went down, and when you log back in, your body with its gear (minus any gold you were carrying) should be in town. If you log back on after a server crash and your character has no equipped gear, check the entire town to see if your body appears, This will be a bright pink X on the overlay map.Blizzard has made it clear that they never restore dead Hardcore characters for any reason, including problems with their own servers. Do not play any Hardcore characters until it's very clear that these server instability issues have been addressed and servers have remained stable for more than 24 hours.D2:R has suffered from stability issues since launch, but the last few days have been especially bad. What's clear from forum posts and social media responses is that D2:R players are losing patience. Update: This is the latest tweet from posted on Monday, October 11th, 7:45 AM PST (tweet is in EST): About an hour after this was posted, Blizzard EU CS stated they were still looking into problems and would report in another hour. At 5:07 AM PDT, posted another message, along with a message on the D2 login that they were looking into problems with the authentication server (tweet is in EST). While the servers came up again for awhile on Sunday, by Monday morning, October 11th, servers were down again. Players in North America, Europe, and South America were all reporting outages.īlizzard posted this tweet at 9:40 AM PST, October 10th (tweet is in EST): The servers were stable for short time following this post on Sunday, but once again, players were experiencing login delays and blank character screens. So far it does not seem that actual character loss has been permanent. Players who try to log onto a character and get the response "Your character is already in a game" for more than 24 hours should post their affected character name, region, platform, and Battletag in this official forum thread. Players are reporting lost items and stuck characters. About 8:30 AM PDT, Blizzard posted this on the D2 forums (please read the information given about rollbacks and their inability to restore lost items or progress): Servers went down Sunday morning for another round of maintenance. Despite 2.5 hours of emergency maintenance on October 9th meant to address this problem, the D2 servers went down again at about 6:00 AM PDT on Sunday, October 10th. Over the past weekend, Diablo II: Resurrected players experienced long stretches of server instability, including being unable to log on or create games, crashing to desktop, characters not showing up, sudden disconnects, and significant in-game lag. We will see if this round of fixes holds.

UPDATE: 10/12: Servers went down again for about 3.5 hours of more maintenance, but have come back online. So, while one would hope the company has learned from Diablo 3, Diablo 2: Resurrected's launch isn't guaranteed to be smooth sailing.UPDATE: 10/13: Servers are down again this morning (tweets in EST): A lot has changed for Blizzard since then, but in the wake of botched game releases and endless controversy and scandal, Blizzard's reputation is pretty much at an all-time low. Sometimes they can be prolonged and catastrophic, but most of the time they're addressed in a reasonable timeframe, and gamers can manage to start playing a little while after they planned to start.ĭiablo 3 had widespread, serious launch issues that didn't just keep many gamers out of the game on launch day, but core features of the game had major problems, too. While this may sound frustrating to players who pre-ordered and planned on playing the game at launch, these kids on day one server problems are extremely common. Unless Blizzard addresses the problem themselves, unless people give up on playing, the problem isn't likely to go away by itself. You may have some luck restarting your computer or console, your router, your game, or the client on PC, but as we've discussed, these are server issues affecting many players out there.
