I just started playing last night... maybe for an hour or two, ~8pm PST. Didn't have any problem connecting, but lag was definitely a problem at times. Guessing it's worse during primetime. The weekend should be interesting.

wait!

wait.. blizzard's servers can't handle a launch? I'm shocked and amazed.

it has only been laggy for me a couple times, each time it was really brief. getting kicked and unable to get back on has been the bigger problem, which has happened many times, usually it's hours at a time, hasn't bothered me that much though...each time it happened it allowed me to take a break. and those occurrences have become less frequent.

I read a really interesting article about the reason why people should protest and continue to protest the release of D3. I'll try to find it.
