We’re in the process of sending out 275,000 Diablo III beta invites to our opt-in testers. As it’ll take us a while to notify all the lucky invitees, we recommend heading to your Battle.net Account Management and seeing if you’ve received a Diablo III beta license. If you have, you’re good to go! Download the beta client and use your Battle.net account and password to log in once it’s installed. While you’re logged into your Account Management page though, don’t forget to create your BattleTag. You can choose this permanent account-wide nickname by clicking on the BattleTag “Create one now” link on the left side of your main Battle.net Account page. Choose wisely as there’s no current ability to change it. A BattleTag is required to play Diablo III, and so whether you get into beta or not you should pick one while you’re there.

Keep in mind that with such a large amount of invites for our test hardware we fully expect a strong possibility of stress test issues, such as an inability to log in, disconnections, and potential lag/latency. We’ll also be testing our queuing system ,which you may see when attempting to enter a game.

Thank you for your continued help, feedback, and patience as we approach the May 15 release.

[Door2Dawn]

Aww you fixed it

 

[Freki]

Wow nice

A typo which was already fixed ;-)

 

[Dead Prince]

BlazingDarkness Better get one D:

 

[TerryWogan]

Guess I wasn't one of the 275,000.

 

[Torraz]

Again no invite, if all they are sending out are notifications ...

Then again I don't think I have ever been invited to a beta (due to luck).

 

[Escape Goat]

275.000

Just 275 invites? shame.

 

[Freki]

Going by past experiences it would be best to check your accounts - the invitation mails can be trailing the actual invites by hours to days...

 

[BeEatNU]

looks like I am in

*flex*

 

[Corky]

Just 275 invites? shame.

Atleast that amount is exceptionally certain.

 

[zroid]

WHERE IS MY INVITE HOLY SHI-

 

[JWong]

I better get one... YA HEAR ME BLIZZ!

 

[Jas]

Guess I wasn't one of the 275,000.

Me either

 

[msv]

Just 275 invites? shame.

With quite the precision though, very impressive.

Gnnnnhhhh, still didn't get in feel like a bot, logging in to bnet so much.

 

[TheMan]

denied AGAIN

 

[Anth0ny]

pfft I might as well just wait it out now...

 

[Anoregon]

Woot I just checked my account info and there it is!

 

[Kalnos]

People don't know what "we're in the process" means. At least, I imagine they wouldn't flag all of those accounts simultaneously.

 

[theinfinityissue]

Holy hell am I going to be bitterly disappointed if I don't get in this near to last wave. All I want to do now is see how it runs on my pc and get a better idea of what class I want to play on launch day. Hell, I'd pre-buy it if that guaranteed me a spot. I've just always had miserable luck with blizzard betas.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

What's the point 30 days before the game is out ?

 

[Empty Space]

Well my account isn't flagged I'm now super sad.

 

[Freki]

What's the point 30 days before the game is out ?

Stress testing the servers maybe?

[Teknoman]

Diablo's minions grow stronger.

 

[scorpscarx]

WHERE IS MY INVITE HOLY SHI-

Same.

 

[PatzCU]

Once again, I didn't get in... Not that I care, I've been playing on other people's bnet accounts for months, but still funny how horrible my beta luck is.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Nothing for me yet
And I just paid for the game in full yesterday ;( Throw me a bone plz Blizzard

 

[MrDenny]

Nothing, I'm never gonna get into the beta

 

[Corran Horn]

No invite

Blizzard I play your games everyday, SEND ME AN INVITE!

 

[NH Apache]

Guess I wasn't one of the 275,000.

.

Sigh.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Still no invite. Got damn this be horrible.

 

[codswallop]

Just 275 invites? shame.

Plenty of countries swap the comma and decimal so $275.000,00 is as valid in some countries as $275,000.00 is in yours.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Hindu-Arabic_numeral_system

Looks like Arabic countries would write $275٬000٫00, which I didn't know until now (Any Arabic GAFfers: is this correct?). Oh and Persia writes like $275٫000/00... Interesting.

Edit: I should give up and just look at the examples of use...

On-topic: Has anything changed in the beta since a month or two ago? I played through it co-op with a mate and found it pretty underwhelming.

 

[Chemo]

Holy shit.

I got one of them!

 

[Cirdan]

Hope I get one.
Beats camping twitter for the key or two they've been sharing daily this week..

 

[DTKT]

le sigh

Nothing.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Didn't get one

 

[scorpscarx]

I view it as a chance for them to sell me their game, I need to try it out Blizz.

Datamining hints at the existence of a trial version for the full game - so you will be covered.

 

[DieH@rd]

Damn you blizzard, why wont you pick me already!

 

[Themacabre]

Not even going to check.

...well, maybe.

 

[Flib]

After getting pissed for not making it into the new batch of invites for the Mists of Pandaria beta, seems I just got the Diablo invite. Sweeeeeet!

 

[SoulUnison]

No Mists beta yet after signing up for Annual Pass the second day it was available.
Annnnd...no Diablo III beta after opting in the *hour* it first went up.

Meh.

 

[DSmalls84]

Thanks for the heads up OP! Actually got one!

 

[Soakedjunk]

No beta for me

 

[Elginer]

Mo' friends, welcome to the party!

 

[BabeSlayer]

snubbed again

 

[helloresolven]

Oh, God. I had resigned to not getting one and just waiting out the 30 days... but I fucking got one. So excited. /installing.

 

[KorrZ]

Blizzard hates me. I played WoW for 6 years starting the first day it came out and I've still NEVER gotten into one of their betas ever. FUCK YOU Blizzard .

 

[strafer]

No invite.

 

[DieH@rd]

I will check tomorrow. If they did not picked me by now, i dont think they will.
