i got diablo about a month ago.. ive had other blizzard games like starcraft and warcraft and played on battle.net. when i played starcraft, the realm was never down. when i play diablo, the realm is down about.. once every other 2 days or so. its down for about an hour or 2, but it gets annoying. im on US east. when the realm is down, i go on starcraft and i can go on fine and i see my friends playing diablo in the US east realm.. so howcome its only down for me..? when they say realm, do they mean the US east realm..? sorry im new..

I do believe there are more threads about this than anything else. Go to arreatsummit.com and they should be able to answer all your questions. Look for a current Thread on the topic before posting haphazardly agian

ok sorry for not looking, i will next time.. but why does it only happen in d2 and not sc or wc..

Im not sure exactly but I know that it is linked to several reasons. Example being that you are making or joining games to quickly. BLizzard may think you are botting. Realm maitance. Most of the time it's your our fault thou. R/d's can last from 5 minutes to 2 days. Yes I have a had a 2 day'er it's terrible
