I did something similar when LoD came out. My clanmate got the first 99 HC character. I recommend you get 4-6 hours of sleep every 20 hours or so. By about 40 hours you wont be doing any good staying up longer and if you wait till that point you probably wont wake up without sleeping for 10-12 hours.
I agree with you mostly, ive personally never stayed up more than 24 hrs straight, so doing 48 is just kind of a challenge for myself. I think Matt is nuts for doing 4 days straight personally :p

I couldn't even manage 10 hours straight when WoTLK came out...you're crazy, but good luck I managed 34~ ish with Cataclysm, but you people are definetly crazy thinking 72 hours.
For what would you need 34 hours straight with Cataclysm ? I mean it took less than 12 hours to level up from 80 to 85 ^^

Can't believe you would do this in HC with no sleep, sounds pretty suicidal to me, but good luck to you anyway

Oh man i have to work the fucking whole week so i could play just 5-6 hours a day. That really sucks 
Plz do a post every 5 or 10 levels with a nice screen so we could follow your progress.
Good luck and may the force be with you!

With TP having cast time and being interruptable by damage(?) and no "Save & Exit" cowardice outside towns without a countdown... all I can say is good luck with later difficulties when tiredness starts to hit :D respect for taking the challenge.
I think more people will turn to HC in D3 than D2 since you have so many character slots and there isn't really a reason to level another same class for softcore. It'll be pretty interesting.

Oh man that's so stupid and never gonna work well.
Nevertheless, good luck and please don't die (in real life that is)!

That is a really long time to play straight. I remember trying to do something like this when Wrath of the Lich King launched and i was going delerious just in day 2. I kept thinking I like knew the zone and quests that I was doing even tho I had never played the beta to it lol. I did get server first gnome/first alliance mage though 
I would watch it if only I wasn't playing myself. I don't think youd get many views lol we will all be playing as much as we can ourselves. I still don't know if I want to go HC first after getting to level 10. I mean it kinda does ruin it by playing until inferno on softcore before doing HC doesn't it. Its an experience you would never get back hmmmm.
D2 HC was so fun!!!!!!! had a few 99's back in the day and a high level pvp trapsin!

i just know someone out there is gonna hc rush, get about 40 hours in and then accidentally die to trash or something

gl with this, hardcore can be unforgiving.

You're not gonna get world/server first unless you share your account information. Just saying...
I doubt that the world first HC will be a shared account, mostly because it will kill your character when you hand it over to someone else who isn't used to the game.

48 hours is a good number for me, I think my personal record is 30, 48 would be an interesting challenge. The one thing I hope is that I don't die on normal. A death on nightmare act 3 or 4 I could stomach maybe, a death on normal or early nightmare would crush me.

There's still an AH -.- no one said anything about the RMAH.
he used the word purchased which led me to believe he was talking about RMAH
|
as far as I know you still use the word "purchase" for transactions using in game currency, i.e. gold.
|
heh, I think ill be enjoying the game and reading all the quests, rather than rushing to 60 with my first char...
|
when i hear the word purchase the cash monies immediately pops into my mind :D

imagine how awesome it would be to finally "beat the game" on HC instead of SC on your first play through, even if it's just normal mode.

2 years ago a friend and i challenged ourselves to stay up for 72 hours, but that wasn't gaming related, although i ended up playing ut while listening to prodigy for hours to stay awake. it's really not that easy(48 hours doesn't even compare, and i think 96 hours is just not doable at a first attempt ^_^).
I don't think your chars will stay alive for so long, just because you will be getting delirious, you'll lose your focus, and suddenly you'll see "you have died" without knowing how it happened because you slept in for a second and couldn't do anything against that. So, when you start to feel really tired and slow, you should probably go to sleep for a few hours, if you don't want to lose you char.
still good luck, i hope you can do it!  (staying awake for a long time is great fun, you'll see^^)
|
My experience is that after 24 hours you're just tired, but by 36 you really start having trouble doing much of anything, and by 48 you're completely useless, but good luck nonetheless!

rofl 76 huors?
Have you ever been awake 76 hours?
I once did it as part of a psychology study. I ended up falling asleep despite amphetamines and it killed my mind fo about a week. I wont be doing it again, proper sleep patterns are really important and besides after 24 hours you really wont enjoy it.
A 76 hour marathon should come with proper health warnings. Sure you can do it, but your stupid as fuck.
If you are going to do that, at least get sponsored and donate to charity at least then you are doign something positive for allt he (minor) harm you are doing to yourself.
