    Looks like people on redit found out you can connect to the beta without a key.

    Seems like blizzard opened it up and its not an exploit.

    According to a post on Team liquid this is supposed to be a starter edition with the same content as the beta that's open for everyone, the same like they have with WOW and Starcraft.

    It looks like this was a bug since Blizzard have pulled battle.net down for maintenance.

    I'M INSTALLING IT. FATE IS SMILING UPON BOG TODAY.

    The only thing that could make this day better is female interaction.

    Actually, no, Diablo III takes the cake.

    Battle.net is still up, but the beta is offline for maintenance, they say there will be update in roughly 2 hours. Sounds like this was a huge bug.

    From a quick Google the servers are down with an emergency maintenance. Which could mean it was just bug.

    I too live in the US, which is why I asked about Europe. That question was more directed to Matty than you. I asked because they do battle.net maintenance Tuesday nights, whereas WoW maintenance is Tuesday mornings.

    Quite possible. My installer still downloads, but the installation progress is stuck on 45% already an hour. Come on, I just finished preparing food for the game marathon :(

    You can play a female character and "interact" with her all you want.

    Downloaded, installed but can't log in. Maybe it's really a bug. Pity, I wanted for confirm that I wouldn't enjoy the game.

    For anyone still wondering about this, seems like it was an accident. I was able to download the game and start the program, but can't login. When I try, the system tells me I don't have a Diablo III license attached to my account. Seriously, Blizzard, just let me at it. I've already come this far!

    Damn arbitrary unlock times. Just let me play it now. It's an effing beta. I don't even want to play a whole lot of it. Just enough to tide me over 'till the actual arbitrary release date.
