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.

*** Had to edit to add this (after reading a few other posts). Several of you are posting about the disconnects from the server(s) and are unhappy about it... ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT'S A STRESS TEST. They are giving us a chance to try their game FOR FREE BEFORE IT'S RELEASED. We should be greatful to have the chance and you should EXPECT connection issues in a stress test otherwise they're not doing their job... Am I the only one that sees it this way???????
If we can excoriate Ubisoft for it, I don't see why Blizzard should be spared. The fact that we're getting to play the Starter Edition demo before release shouldn't let them off the hook.
IMO they've sadled a fun single player game with a horrible client/server setup. It only exists to protect an additional revenue stream - it doesn't add any value to the game for me.
It's a huge disappointment that the scariest part of the game is server disconnection.
