The Diablo III Beta Draws to a Close

Posted 17 April 2012 by Rushster

We all knew that the fun would come to an end at some point and here it is.

We’d like to thank everyone who has participated in the Diablo III beta. You’ve done an admirable job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development.

In preparation for the launch of Diablo III on Tuesday, May 15, the beta servers will be brought offline on Tuesday, May 1. At that time, all beta accounts and character information will be reset. Leading up to Diablo’s May 15 launch date, players will only be able to create comments and forum posts on the official Diablo III community site if they have pre-purchased Diablo III or have a StarCraft II or World of Warcraft game license attached to their Battle.net account. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to stay tuned to this website for exciting news and updates regarding the upcoming release.

Thank you again for your participation, and we’ll see you soon on Battle.net!

  • Ahh, Blizzard is exposing beta testers bitter real life for 15 days! God have mercy on our bored souls

  • Well, that’s sad and a little earlier than I expected.

    Shame for all the guys who didn’t get a shot of the beta.

  • There goes my theory that the last “reveal” was open beta or all of act 1 or something.  OR DOES IT?

    • We already know what the last reveal is.

      Kind of a shame that they’re tossing our beta accounts. My only other account with access just got banned for a month. >.> 

      • oo banned. Naughty boy. Do tell.

        • Suffice to say I deserved that one. I got a little nasty with a white knight on the official forums is all, but what I said wasn’t called for and I had it coming.

          • They banned your account from the beta itself? That doesn’t make sense… They would normally just ban your forum account if you did something they don’t like on the forums. I should know… I recently got banned for a few days after quoting and then badmouthing Bashiok’s fail logic in his recent post about the RMAH.

  • I was hoping they would keep it going to test the PVP arenas after launch. I guess they will be testing PVP internally.

  • We’re getting closer! Didn’t get a beta invite but at least I got to play on a friends account.

  • Finally!!!! Retribution! and fu again blizz for never sending me an invite. -_-

  • At least they fixed the duping method me and a buddy accident found!!

    Beta was fun, can’t wait to enjoy the last week of it and have a 2 week break to prepare mentally for release!!! 

  • NOOOOO!
     
    However, in the ashes of ruin, beauty rise anew. Retail time, wooho! :)

  • Sign of release?! On a more Serious note- been testing since what, september? I am
    Almost envious of you who Get to experience the game fresh In 4
    Weeks, instead of stopping at Leoric again and again and again…

    Game is almost here guys! You’ve been waiting for at least 4 years,
    If not 12 ;) what’s 4 more weeks? :)  

  • lol at the people who just got beta : )
    Oh well better than nothing, I suppose.

    Its going to be a long 2 weeks from May 1st …
