Diablo 4 Beta: Blizzard's Response and Player Reactions.

Blizzard boss Rod Fergusson has explained why server queues were necessary during the recent early access beta for Diablo IV, stating that they are sometimes put in place to help manage pressure on specific subsets of a game. Fergusson said that server queues are an "inexact science," but the aim is to be more conservative out of the gate in an attempt to mitigate issues later on. The open beta for Diablo IV runs from March 24-26, and more server queues are expected. Diablo IV releases in full on June 6.
