275 000 Diablo III beta invites

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.

A tweet was sent to Jay Wilson @ Blizzard this morning to confirm what we felt may be an issue that may have limited Beta access to those who currently do not have an active Blizzard subscription.

@Angryrobotics People are very excited. Will ones that do NOT have active subscriptions be getting Beta Keys this time around? Thanks Jay!
