The auction house was telling me that the buyout failed so I tried to buy other things, turns out I bought six items and spent over 30.000 gold... Needlessly. DAMMIT! That is truly annoying, amassing money takes a little while, after all.

I thought the auction house wasn't supposed to be functional until next week or something? Or am I mistaking that with a different money trading system in the game?

 

Aside from the servers being shit, how does everyone enjoy the game so far? Has anyone played enough to give a good opinion? I'm really on the fence with this game.

I'm finding it enjoyable atm , to me it's not the great hack and slash game many including me where expecting  but still  good , I can't help feel that it is the Diablo name and lore that makes it resonate (despite all the streamlining , questionable art direction etc. that tries to bring it down )  because at the end of the day it's that history and lore that separates it from it's competitors , has I have said even though I don't like the direction Diablo 3 has taken it's still a diablo game so worth it for that alone , which is a pity because it should have been well worth it even without the Diablo name to fall back on .

One side note: I remember the art in the D2 manual had a truly fantastic looking barbarian , but this time we end up getting his great grandad.
