Diablo II Ladder Reset - June 11

But, if Blizzard is not giving the bandwidth to their D2 VM servers there will be queues and general problems.

The Login Server can handle so many simultaneous logins and then the Game server needs be able to start games after the logins.

This has been the bottleneck in past years.

One may have a congested path to the server, but if everyone has queue problems one may be certain it is Blizzard problem again.

Europe has worked more or less perfectly.

Thatā€™s why Iā€™ve played mostly Europe and West last two seasons.

Letā€™s hope Blizzard cares more than they have in past seasons this go around!

Did They Unannounce The Time?
Did I Imagine They Told Us When Realms Were Going Down?

West HCCL! Where yall at?!

So how does this reset work in Europe? It happens around 5 pm Pacific time usually so it is around 2 am on Saturday in Europe? Well, but we actually do not know when exactly the reset happensā€¦

How many hours from now? Iā€™d like to plan a bit since I work saturday

7 hours from now would be 5 pm PST (the usual time for ladder restarts)

Sometime between now and 2359 PDT

Iā€™m excited for d2r cause Iā€™m tired of getting kicked every time I switch characters. And Iā€™m on key number 6 and it got stolen so I get double key logged. Constantly and I donā€™t feel like buying another key set.

We expect Diablo II Classic to have some downtime around 3pm PT this afternoon and will continue until we are fully finished with the reset which we expect will take a couple hours.

Maybe while your at it you will finally fix west servers? Which was brought up in April was being looked into and then there was silenceā€¦

Everyone please buy our new Dr2 so we can shelf Diablo II Classic. Half the time creating a new account literally crash d/cā€™s you. My aussie buddy took 2 hours trying to make an account and gave up.

Thanks kindly for the specified time

Yea, Iā€™d like to know this too. I donā€™t think itā€™s very fair to have it reset at 02.00 in EU - surely times could be adjusted to account for this. I donā€™t even see a reset notification on the EU forums let alone anything about a time. Am I missing something?

Will there be another post when the servers become live or ā€œa couple hoursā€ after 3pm just keep trying to connect till we get through?

It is now just after noon Pacific time. No ladder reset as of this time.

about 3-5 more hours cant wait

a really late reset, damn itā€™ll be after 8 pm EST if we are lucky

Itā€™s most likely a DNS issue on their end but yes surprised it takes this long.

As an example I started to exhibit the same issue on USEast one day so I hard-coded the host file to use a working IP.

Without it itā€™s pointing to .55 IP which probably has an issue?
I added the below to my host file and it started working. But again this is for useast but at least a starting point if they do feel like fixing it.
199.108.55.57 useast battle net removed periods since this awful forum wonā€™t even let me paste a battle net urlā€¦

Wonder if it has anything to do with D2R test servers coming online?

yeah I feel you! Been waiting all day.
