Less than two weeks: that's how much longer the Diablo 3 beta will last. On May 1st, the beta servers will be closed and the wait for the full launch will begin.
Eight months lasted the Diablo III beta test, having started early September 2011 and ending at the end of April 2012. Minor and major aspects of the game were brought on for testing during this time, most notably the gold and real money auction houses, the skill runes, the crafting system and how players interacted and changed through their skills and skill builds.
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 an active 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!
