Diablo III PTR is Online

The PTR is now online and available for play. That said, we're definitely aware that many players are still experiencing persistent issues affecting login and character creation. We'll be keeping the PTR online for the time being so that we can test and troubleshoot those issues in a live environment, so please be sure to report any problems you encounter in this thread so we can pass them on to our development team as quickly as possible.

Thank you so much for your patience, and your reports. This is ultimately why we have a PTR, so we can identify and correct these kinds of issues early, before they hit the live game. :)

I'm not sure I can give you the answer you're looking for, but I'll give it a shot.

We're currently working to get PTR login and character creation in a stable state so everyone who wants to log in can log in, but I don't have any time frame for when that might be. Our engineers are still troubleshooting the issues players are reporting, and we'll certainly continue to provide updates in the main status thread as they become available.

In meantime, you can keep trying on your own for right now, or you can wait until the PTR is more stable (which may be tonight or tomorrow, depending on how successful our fixes are). At the moment, the number of players logged in to the PTR is growing at a pretty consistent rate, so that's pretty promising.



We haven't given priority to streamers. It's just possible that a lot people who want to play the PTR have streams, though, and they've just gotten lucky.
