Diablo III Open Beta Weekend [Apr 20, 2012, 08:19 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Following indications yesterday that more accounts were being granted access to the Diablo III beta test, the Diablo III Website announces the beta will indeed be opened this weekend to anyone with a Battle.net account for stress testing. The open portion of the beta will begin at 3:00 pm EDT today and will run through Monday at 1:00 pm EDT. The accompanying FAQ explains how this will operate, and notes that while Korean players cannot participate, they will be holding a separate invitation-only event in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. The invitation only closed beta will continue as planned until May 1st. To get a head start, you can download the client now from Battle.net.

Yeah, I kinda thought they might be prepared this time, given all the experience they've had with this kind of thing in the past.
It's usually on purpose. It's similar to an MMO in many ways, they're putting a lot of overhead on the server with their online-only implementation. The stress test is likely just a bunch of provisioning scenarios with minimum capacities, rollovers and all that fun NOC stuff. I hope this helps them sort out launch day because that will be really ugly if the servers are messed up. In the past you could at least play the SP for awhile while battle.net was down but they won't have that luxury with this game.
