Server overloads are forgivable (Though a major company like Blizzard should've seen this coming), same thing happened with TW2 because the traffic was higher than expected; It'll probably be fixed by tomorrow or so.
The game-breaking bug is just plain dumb... Diablo 3 has been beta tested to death and if the bug doesn't appear in the Beta then that's even worse. I thought Blizzard's policy was to take as much time as they need without worrying about release dates?

There was a huge problem with digital licenses in that they were not being recognized by the server at all. The only way they know how to fix it as of last night was to go through every digital sale record and manually activate accounts.
I think the problem still exists for some that buying it digitally now as well. My copy is retail and it works no problem.

are you logged in right now? if so, log out and then try to log back in. people been unable to play for 3+ hours now..
there's also error 12, and about 10 other errors..
people are still stuck trying to 'retrieve heroes'.
my guess is that this will be broken much longer than 4:30pm est and likely when it comes back on there will be even WORSE server jams since most people will be playing this TODAY after 6pm, much more than the 3am EST logins..
