We're starting to hand out the very last few Diablo 3 keys (thanks again Blizzard!), so if you missed out please keep an eye out on our
beta key giveaway page for keys as they go up.
We'll be giving them away in random small batches over the afternoon, with priority given to members who have been around for a while - but newbies will still have a chance to get one. Keep an eye out in the comments to this news post for more information.

At this point I've mostly given up to be honest; just two months until the game is out so the beta is of limited value. Plus, if they do like they did with Starcraft 2, more and more beta keys will be handed out as the final release comes closer.
Posted 03:49pm 17/3/12
Yeah, I was looking for months and months, and now there's FINALLY a release date, there's been more and more keys being given out. What's the point in that. Even though i'll still never get one...
Posted 03:59pm 17/3/12
Generating buzz and getting more people to actually play the game which in turn increases potential sales.
Posted 04:17pm 17/3/12
Posted 04:19pm 17/3/12
Posted 04:22pm 17/3/12
I'm sorry we can't give every single person a key that wants one; I would love nothing more than to give out keys to everyone who is keen to try it, but we have an extremely limited number of these things so we're trying to make it "fair" by giving first preference to regular users and our long standing user base. Clicking "play" on 20 videos is not exactly in the spirit of why that requirement is in place.
I am sort of a little surprised that people who have been trying for a while to get a key haven't been running around racketing up achievements over the last couple of weeks given that we made it fairly clear we were using them as a method to prioritise distribution - I guess the clever people that figured that out will get first dibs :)
Next batch will NOT require any achievements, so it will go fast.

No s***, why else would you join this site?
Posted 06:11pm 17/3/12
next batch will prolly just have the year old requirement so you can have a crack then. It was gonna be no requirement but then I read that silly post above so regulars get first dibs again!
Posted 06:17pm 17/3/12
Oh wait, never mind.

Next batch will require the 1 year achievement. It is online now!
The last batch will be free for all. It will be online a bit later tonight, probably after 7pm (8pm AEDT), as I need to have a break for dinner. So please check back after then for the timing for the last batch (I will make sure it has a clear time announced so there's no guessing).
Posted 06:27pm 17/3/12
PHwoere so you can be part of an awesome community that gets access to things like the Diablo 3 beta. If the D3 beta key is all you see, you are seriously short sighted my friend.

We're going to ask Blizzard if we can get some more, but we don't expect that we will - with the release date announced we fully expect the beta to be winding down over the next few weeks and I suspect they have enough people in it to do their beta testing stuff.
Thanks to everyone for hanging out trying to get a key and sorry that we weren't able to give one to everyone - I hope the people that did get one enjoy some game time, but everyone else - at least you now know how long you have to wait for, and it's not much longer!
If you did miss out and you're a newbie to the site, well, we hope you stick around for a while because we hope to be doing much more awesome stuff like this and the longer you're around the more likely you are to get in at the ground level :)
Big thanks to Blizzard for hooking us up as well!

I'll lock this thread to prevent confusion; if you did score a key make sure you drop by our battletag thread so you can commune with everyone else!
