It's rare today that a game with online connectivity launches without server issues, and unfortunately for Paladins, Necromancers, Barbarians, and other players around the globe, Diablo 2: Resurrected is not without its own problems. Players are reporting server issues that prevent them from even playing the game, and these same issues are preventing players from seeing existing characters or creating new ones, too. Earlier today, Blizzard announced that it was taking the game offline for unscheduled maintenance in an attempt to fix the issues. However, it didn't seem to work as many on the game's Subreddit and on Twitter are still experiencing the issues. Over on the [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo_2_Resurrected/'][U]Diablo 2: Resurrected subreddit[/U][/URL], the front page reveals multiple posts of a screen that reads, "an issue occurred while communicating with the game servers," and that those players should "check that [they] are connected to the internet and try again." Over on Twitter, players are reporting similar things, theorizing that the new Battle.net is worse than the old Battle.net. [URL='https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS/status/1441101167564447755?s=20'][U]Blizzard tweeted again[/U][/URL] about an hour after the unscheduled maintenance that it is "continuing to work on problems affecting characters and game creation." A quick scroll through the replies to that tweet showcase the frustration of players who can't get in. For what it's worth, Blizzard has acknowledged the problem, stating that it's actively working on it. However, with the game out today, it's obviously not great that players who purchased this new game on launch are not even able to play it as intended. The server issues Diablo 2: Resurrected players are facing today aren't all that uncommon across games, though.
