If you’ve just entered you game code (or your guest pass), you are probably thinking playing Diablo 3 is just a few minutes away!

Not so fast. Apart from the now infamous server busy error (37), Diablo has another secret weapon to keep you from playing – error 75: There is a temporary outage of the Battle.net service.

The error is generated at login, the first checkbox lights and then you wait for about 30 seconds. During regular play, the login is almost instantaneous. The only fix is to try to log in to the Diablo 3 servers later… much later.

The numerous complaints at the Diablo 3 tech forum about error 75 doesn’t seem to motivate Blizzard to get additional servers. In fact, most of us are not able to POST at this forum even though we have purchased a copy of the game and added to the Battle.net account.

Update: Changed location to AMERICAs and I was able to go log in but I’m stuck at Retrieving Hero list.
