Diablo 3 Free to play weekend this weekend

[kandrathe]

My beta weekend consisted of:

Friday evening: 3 hours of not being able to connect:
Saturday: 4 hours of play, 6 hours not being able to connect
Sunday: 4 hours of play, me giving up.

I tried on Saturday, but it was down for emergency maintenance (whoops). And, then on Sunday it was a bit laggy with some near death experiences due to lag spikes at the wrong times (e.g. when the fat guys would explode into a cascade of worms/eels).

I figured they didn't quite expect the impact from the volume of testers and tried to re-tool during the emergency maintenance.
