'Diablo 3' Android app monitors server status
Diablo 3 has received a free Android app dedicated to monitoring server status.
The
Diablo 3 Server Checker monitors the status of servers in Europe, North America and Asia. It can be downloaded from
Google Play now.
It is developed by Eluamous, the team behind similar apps for
World of Warcraft and
Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Diablo 3 launched earlier this week, but has encountered problems as the game's servers struggle to cope with the high levels of traffic.
Blizzard has issued an apology to users and claims to be monitoring the problem closely, confirming that scheduled maintenance will need to take place in the future.
The game is free to users who sign up for the
World of Warcraft annual pass, a yearly subscription to the popular MMO.
A Starter Edition of the game has also been confirmed, offering a limited introduction to
Diablo 3 with content similar to its private beta.
