For all of you who tried (and failed) to join our Mumble server the past few nights, we had a rather unfortunate stroke of bad luck with the initial host being DDoS'd pretty much since we signed up with them.

Fortunately, we've now picked up a new (speedier!) host, from one of the better known voice server providers out there (who is, consequently, not in the throes of a DDoS), and we'd like to encourage you all to give it another try!

Server hostname: voice14.sydney.hypernia.com
Server IP: 203.217.24.194
Port: 64808

To show the world that they really are a team of stand-up guys, the following statement was issued by Blizzard in response to fears that GAME Australia pre-orders wouldn't be able to be fulfilled:

We're aware that some Australian GAME customers have been left out in the cold on what should be the hottest night of the year -- the launch of Diablo III. To help with this situation and get these players into the game as soon as possible, we've put the following process in place.

Australian GAME customers with a valid preorder/prepurchase receipt dated before May 15, 2012 can do the following:

1. Purchase the digital version of Diablo III from http://www.diablo3.com now or anytime before May 21, 2012.

2. Download and start playing when the servers go live!

3. Submit your GAME Australia preorder/prepurchase receipt to us before June 30, 2012.

4. Receive a credit from Blizzard, for the amount you paid in advance to GAME Australia for Diablo III. This credit will be applied to the payment method used for the digital purchase.

We'll post further details here on how to submit your GAME Australia receipt to our customer service team as soon as possible. Stay tuned, and we look forward to seeing you in the Burning Hells!

Link arms! Raise your voices in collective harmonies (eep, not too loud, watch that Mic Boost, buster!) as we all return to the trials and tribulations of Sanctuary...now with Mumble!

That's right, D3Downunder.com now has it's very own 50-slot MUMBLE server!

Details as follows:

Server IP: 27.50.70.3
Server Port: 4037
URL: mumble://27.50.70.3:4037/?version=1.2.3

Welcome to the 3rd installment of The Diablo Herald, I hope everyone is enjoying them as much as I am.
