Battlenet Question -- Game expiration
Yesterday I started a game on Battlenet as I wandered about the Flayer Jungle looking for the right Spider Den. I was joined by several others, and after liberating some body part or other we went to track down the next part of Khalim's widely dispersed anatomy in the nearby sewers.
As we progressed through the sewers, out of nowhere (to my noobish understanding) came a message at the bottom of the screen in yellow print saying "This game will end in 60 seconds". The timer then ticked down, and sure enough at 0 seconds (logically enough) I was cast back out onto the main battlenet screen. I started a new game, no problem. But my frantic efforts in the waning seconds of the game were unrewarded since nobody had found the brain (squishy sound) and the Quest remained on my screen.
This entire game lasted about 30 minutes, give or take 30 minutes. You know how time passes when you are busily dodging enraged flayers.
Is there a time limit on the games? Is this a bug? Did I do something to trigger the ending? Could I have done something to prevent it, like drinking a Potion of Game Prolonging? I searched the forum on "expired" and could find nothing about this. It was not lag or a connect problem, the timer was clearly visible the whole time.
Thank you in advance for your response.
