[QUOTE="Admin, post: 59426, member: 1"] Blizzard and Diablo 4 players are bracing themselves for an “expected surge” this weekend, with some fearful of big queues and potential downtime. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/blizzard-apologises-to-disgruntled-diablo-4-players-as-servers-go-down-with-error-code-300202']Blizzard apologised to disgruntled Diablo 4 players yesterday[/URL], June 8, after servers went down and login attempts resulted in error code 300202. “I apologize again for the downtime but we should be good to go again,” Diablo development chief Rod Fergusson tweeted yesterday after Blizzard got Diablo 4 back up and running. “Really appreciate your patience as we continue to hit record highs for concurrency and prepare for the expected surge this weekend. Thank you!” [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/diablo-4-is-blizzards-fastest-selling-game-of-all-time']Diablo 4 is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game[/URL] and a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/diablo-4-review']hit with critics[/URL], but as an always-online action role-playing game server issues are a constant threat. The dreaded error code 300202 is approaching meme territory, with the Diablo 4 community expressing its concern about the weekend to come. “I'm expecting the worst…” [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/144lctv/im_expecting_the_worst/']one redditor wrote[/URL] following yesterday’s server issues. “Yeah it’s gonna be down all weekend,” said another. Diablo fans continue to call for an offline mode for Diablo 4, although this seems unlikely given the online features that permeate the game. Diablo 4 features lite-MMO elements that enable player-versus-player combat, shared social spaces and party-based dungeon crawling. Blizzard has said it is a big fan of these elements, and encourages occasional unplanned interactions between players.

Apart from yesterday’s extended downtime, Diablo 4 has enjoyed a relatively smooth launch. It seems this weekend will provide Blizzard’s servers with their sternest test yet.
