What does error 3004 mean?

Question

While attempting to play the D3 beta, I'm getting error 3004 when attempting to start a game. This is happening after choosing my character, and clicking resume game.

This error message is very succinct, but I can't help but want more information. Is this an error from my end, or does it originate from Blizzard's servers? More details are needed so I know what action to take.

Answer

Servers are unavailable (most likely due to overload).¹ (It's not you, it's them.) 3004 shows at character selection, 37 shows at login—same conditions.

Blizzard response: keep trying.
