It wasn't Dupers or Hackers! It was the Global DB

The blue post says, there’s a huge amount of people trying to login everyday from a specific region. That’s where my spider senses went active and I asked myself internally “what region?”

probably just excuses

On Saturday morning Pacific time, we suffered a global outage due to a sudden, significant surge in traffic. This was a new threshold that our servers had not experienced at all, not even at launch. This was exacerbated by an update we had rolled out the previous day intended to enhance performance around game creation–these two factors combined overloaded our global database, causing it to time out.

They did it to themselves because they don’t know what they are doing. They released a broken game AGAIN, and no amount of spin is going to change that. They didn’t know how people play the game? Yeah no sh–t, none of them play the game, and so when they released D2R it crumbled under their incompetence. Actual individual devs can make stable d2:lod servers, presumably on modern hardware. Blizz says D2R is functionally the same as lod, and yet they are stumped. Stumped by a game THE DEEMED READY FOR RELEASE.
