Diablo 3 Beta

July 4, 2008 by Zuggy 

diablo 3 betaWhile the Diablo 3 beta has yet to be officially announced a good friend of mine who works for the Blizzard entertainment has informed me that the first phases of beta should begin sometime quarter 4 of 2008, or at the very latest, the first of 2009.

This type of launch date for the beta is very reassuring, as it further reinforces the estimated diablo 3 release date of summer / fall of 2009. As in all Blizzard games the beta will go through a variety of phases. First, the family and friends of Blizzard beta (cross fingers that I get one!), second closed beta…now this is where timing on your part will be crucial if you’d like to get in.

Closed beta accounts will be given by invitation only. How do you get this closed beta invitation? Once blizzard finally announces the closed beta sign ups you may only have a week, or two at max to get your name and information sent to blizzard. In these applications make sure you extol your vast gaming experience, the fact that you are a player and do not represent any type of media organization (if you’re associated with another company or media outlet Blizzard will immediately deny your app).

As always make sure to stop back by on occasion, as soon as official announcements are made on beta sign ups I’ll have the full story on how to get yourself one.

    Hey mate, thanks for the info. I’m a long time fan of Diablo and have played Diablo 1 and 2. I really don’t want to miss out on the Beta, even though the main site is my homepage, if you could give me an email if you hear anything more then it would be very much appreciated. Thanks mate.

    I’ll try to send emails to anyone that posts in this thread for the beta, and of course I’ll be making more posts as we get closer to the game actually releasing.

  4. Hellfire on October 14th, 2008 3:21 am

    I’ve been a Diablo fan since day 1, and Im more than excited to play the upcoming D3, why not be ahead of the game?! Please let me know when there is a Beta sign up! Thanks ;)

  5. Jeff Stumpf on October 15th, 2008 12:15 am

    I can’t wait till D3 is released. I have played them all and still have fun playing them. Beta testing D3 would be great and give me a chance to play it sooner. So let me know when it happens. Thanks Jeff

  6. TPac on October 15th, 2008 6:48 am

    yeah im with everyone else…. iv been obsessing over this.. its going to be epic… possibly best game ever. about the Beta…. yeah il do whatever it takes to land one of those… keep me updated.

  7. Xenu on October 16th, 2008 4:43 pm

    I gotta get into this beta. My friends and I joked about the release of D3 since we finished Diablo 2, 3 days after it came out. Then again, and again and again since then. It never gets old, but I cannot wait to play Diablo 3. Please keep me up on the beta news?

  8. Nate on November 5th, 2008 7:07 am

    Big fan of the Diablo series, I’m to get into the beta too. Thanks for the update, keep it up. :D

  9. Dan on November 6th, 2008 5:31 pm

    That would be sweet if you could give me the info for the sign up. Im tired of WoW and want to play D3 as soon as possible. Ive been a long time fan. Thanks

  10. Matt on November 9th, 2008 4:22 pm

    I’d love too be told when the release date should be. The beta, although i have doubts I’d get it, would make my life pure bliss. Played D1 and D2 over 5k hours each. ._.

  11. Shizzle on November 12th, 2008 3:03 am

    Could you send me an email, please, I dont want to miss the beta

  12. Tony on November 13th, 2008 1:04 pm

    Please i would also get a chanse for beta testing. This game i will buy when it comes out!!

  13. James on November 14th, 2008 9:05 am

    Dude! Please send me that email about beta testing sign up’s when it’s anounced. That would be so awsome. I played D1 and D2 and beat both umteen million times. D3 will just be the icing on the cake.

  14. Robert Rippee on November 17th, 2008 9:05 pm

    I would most certainly like to be included in on the beta. I really like diablo and it would be great if my comments, feedback and general gameplay helped shape the game. Please include me in on your email list. Thanks.

  15. End on November 18th, 2008 1:34 am

    Would be great to get an email with any update on this! Diablo 1 & 2 were a lot of fun, and very interested in how 3 is looking!

  16. Joonas on November 23rd, 2008 10:31 am

    I absolutely loved everything about the first two games and can’t wait for the third one. If there were a way to get into beta testing, that would just be the icing on the cake. Much props if you could send me an e-mail as well concerning the relevant information. Thanks in advance!

  17. Al on December 4th, 2008 9:04 pm

    People say that they wasted 5-6 years playing Diablo 1 and 2, i have to disagree, those where the best years of my life, the most fun as well. i had many days where my friends would come over and we would all play diablo II together, those were the glory days. i cant wait for diablo III to come out, i really cant.

  18. Simon on December 7th, 2008 8:54 am

    hey im a hudge gamer ive played diablo 1 and 2 since they were realeased till now, i love all blizzard games (except the new WoTLK witch is lame sauce), im 21 years old ive been playing games since i was 5, i have tons of gameing experience, knowledge and skills and i would LOVE to be part of the d3 beta, im not sure how to get invited to the beta but ive always wanted to be involved in blizzard beta’s but never got the chance too before. I would really love if you sent me an email telling me how to get involved in the beta for d3 thank you very much

  22. Mya on December 31st, 2008 3:11 am

    I can’t wait for Diablo III. I have had way too much fun with the first two, and would love to hear when they open up Beta testing for those of us that aren’t directly linked to Blizzard. Thanks for keeping us up to date!!

  27. Brandon S. on January 6th, 2009 9:55 pm

    I have thought of the Diablo series as one of the most entertaining set of games out there to play. They have a VERY high replay value and the new ways they spin each sequel is great! I would love to be a beta tester. No matter I will certainly purchase the game prior to release. Im actually playing D2 LOD again right now.

  28. Franz24 on January 8th, 2009 8:27 pm

  30. Mat on January 8th, 2009 9:25 pm

    Been a huge fan of the Diablo series since it first came out, as well as Starcraft and Warcraft. Been modding all of these for a while. An email when the D3 beta is announced would be awesome :-)

  31. Cody on January 13th, 2009 12:48 am

    it will be nice if you would send a email about the beta when it is out i would really much like to play it

  61. Gian on April 7th, 2009 5:50 pm

    I’m sure Blizzard will take their time as usual to provide the same quality product as their past games. I have been playing Blizzard games since the 90s when Warcraft (ya… the first one) was the big deal. I’m really excited for this title and would love to hear any information on an upcoming beta test. Thanks!

  63. Michael on April 12th, 2009 2:40 pm

    Hi, I have been a long time diablo fan. Diablo2 is my favorite game! I would love the opportunity to help with the Diablo 3 beta testing. Can you email me when you get the information please?
    THANK YOU!

  64. Boz on April 14th, 2009 12:04 pm

    Your all on smack!

    Its not comming out, no matter what people are saying it will be released late 09 or 10

    I dont think Bliz will let any of us hear of a beta and by the time we do it will be released.

  65. XoD on May 12th, 2009 5:21 pm

    lol i agree with Boz… by the time we hear about a beta test its gonna be when the beta sign up is full and closed, and one of the people that signed the beta-testing contracts is getting sued for leaking information about the beta *rofl*

    but i would love to be able to beta test so if you have a hookup, ill take any info you got and youd have all my gratitude and appreciation =P

    ive been playing blizz games since
    Warcraft 1, 2, 3
    Diablo 1, Hellfire, Diablo 2, LoD (I’ve got i think 2 cdkeys of D1… and at least 5 of D2 +D2x) lol… it was a family thing back in the day haha
    Starcraft 1 and its expansion (although i cant remember the name since i only played it cuz my brother bought it =P)
    World of Warcraft Original, TBC and WotLK (only blizz game im still playing lol)

    anyways thanks again and all info is appreciated =P

  66. Ryan on May 16th, 2009 6:09 pm

    I adore the Diablo series and put way too much time into various builds and trying to come up with something weird and new yet wholly functional.

    I’m 37 and feeling silly still playing but hell, I can see me wanting to play Diablo 9 or whatever when I retire rather than playing Bingo. Hell, put my brain in a jar hooked up to a computer so I don’t have to have old age pains interfering with my gaming :D

    Diablo(s) and City of Heroes/Villains are what have sucked much of my life from me. WoW looked too addictive for me so I couldn’t touch it.

    10 years of computer support experience and strong documentation capability.

    I have a good artistic sense and could help come up with creative ways to make theme match the engine’s capabilities if a lacking or bug needs reframed or some other disjunctive elements need thematic coherence .

  67. Zach on July 6th, 2009 5:27 pm

    Well my brother is 16 so he was born when diablo 1 was made… We have that game and we also have Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 LoD. Ive been a fan for Diablo for a long time and i cant wait till Diablo 3 comes out!! I even have dreams of Diablo 3 being out in stores! Im seriously to young to play it but no one in my family really cares about it…. im 9 years old and seriously no one really cares if i play mature games…. well im a really good fan of diablo and allmost every day i go on the internet and see if Diablo 3 came out… Ask your good friend of yours to ask blizzard to make the beta open…

  68. Celecus on July 7th, 2009 6:59 am

    I can’t wait till D3 is released. I have played them all and still have fun playing them. Beta testing D3 would be great and give me a chance to play it sooner. So let me know when it happens. Thanks Jeff

  69. Blake on July 13th, 2009 2:02 am

    Please send me an email as well :)

  70. adam on July 27th, 2009 6:00 am

  71. Yörg on August 10th, 2009 8:07 pm

    heyhey!
    I’m a huge fan of D-series. Played both D1 and D2 for godknowshowlong;) and know every single detail about both games, also read the novels. Besides Diablo, I played numerous RPG/hack’nslah so I’m quite experienced. I’d really appreciate to get the chance to be on the closed beta-list. Where can I send an application?
    many THX for the info..

  72. Goklimpen on August 21st, 2009 6:26 pm

    Hey!

    to hell with the beta they dont care about anything we want or say. blizzard cares about wow. remember when sc2 was such a big set of news and now what? when was the last time you heard anything about it? blizzard wants wow. they dont care about their old titles they just want their revenue from the big name they’ve made. remember that they are tied in with another company now that helps fund their work so they really have only one goal, make money. takin any bets…..cataclysm expansion comes out before sc2 or d3. BET!
