AH Testing, Valentine's Day Wishes, Diablo Wallpaper, Diaboleques, and Curse Word Monthly

Auction House Testing
Blizzard is working hard on getting their Auction House working. Starting now, they will be stress testing their AH's every day this week to test them for peak performance.

We’ll be placing extra strain on the beta auction house every day this week from 10:00 a.m. PST until approximately 12:00 p.m. PST, to put the system through its paces. During this time there may be interruptions or loss in an ability to use the auction house. We’ll provide updates if there’s any extended downtime experienced or expected.

Happy Valentine's Day from Blizzard
Even the demons of Hell can warm up on this day of love.

Diablo Wallpaper
Blizzard releases a new wallpaper every Tuesday and Valentine's day is no different. In case the first images were a little too cutesy for you, try this one.

I wonder how they plan to stress test the AH. Are they testing their 'Auto-Profit' AH bot?

I think it actually says they are doing maintenance once, and stressing it every day this week, not just once a week.

The Valentines are pretty funny. My only wish is that there had been an Auriel/Mephisto for the laughs.

And ScyberDragon, there's a certain word that needs correction. Don't make me haunt you.

Indeed they are. Let's hope all goes well in fixing some of the more persistent bugs, while they've got the stress test going.

Just read the comment below... and lose your my faith in humanity <_<

Wait, we had faith in humanity?

On a more serious note, I heartily with you and Snaks42. People like that person you quoted need to stop living in their bubble and acknowledge that there's such a thing as reality and, guess what, it's not always your buddy.

Diabloesque is great!

Every stress test is good news, maybe little steps but in the right direction.

Thanks ScyberDragon!

How does this whole "get a month free premium curse account" work? I've tried subscribing through the link, but it just says "thanks for subscribing". It doesn't ask for my email, I wasn't even signed into my account when I did it, etc. and I haven't gotten any "welcome to the newsletter" email afterwards.

So can someone explain how it works and how I actually get subscribed?

If the Auction House just stopped working, that would be just fine. Bunch'a blizzard fuck-ups down there in Irvine.
