It's super late in Asia so maybe not as many angry nerds hammering the login servers as in Europe but still, it could be a sign of what to expect for european players in 3h30 now!
3:15am 15/5/12 here in Hong Kong.
The asian launch was not smooth. Many Korean and Taiwan players are getting an error 12 and cannot log into the game.
Well at least we get to use Asia and Europe as a testing ground so hopefully all the problems will be worked out by the time the Americas server launches
I was watching a stream earlier, Korean I think, and they got DC'd a few times and temporarily couldn't log in but they were still playing when I closed the window to avoid spoilers.
lol. it would be really funny if US ends up getting to really about play the same time as everyone else due to everyone else running into server issues.
Doesn't the global launch mean that the servers are all going up at the same time.
Global launch means midnight launch globally, or the next best thing.
Asia get it 6 hours before Europe, Europe get it 7(?) hours before the US.
To clarify, 'global launch' is kind of misleading, because each region is going up at a separate time, on the same day. And since global play (where your Bnet acc is US for instance, but you pick to play on the asia server) is disabled atm, so atm Asia and I think EU just went up, meaning only those two regions servers will work, and only people with accounts in those regions can log on.
Edit; EU is 9 hours ahead of the US launch. (remember that it is 12:01 PDT, meaning that in the East coast of US, it'l be 3 AM when they can play, and if you're in Alaska it should be 11pm =P )
If the authentication server didn't completely crashed and failed, it is a smooth launch. There will be no massive simultaneous login once the midnight peak has passed, that's why they didn't launch at 6pm.
I haven't experienced much problem except for a short period of lag. It was bad enough to effect gameplay but after that, I've been going smooth ever since.
been only playing solo btw

Official Blizzard post say they are aware of the problem and is working on it.

this shoul be the first one that works if i can log in before 1am
Only if your account is registered in that region. Global play is disabled until some time tomorrow (or later).
open beta was supposed to handle this
