Diablo III Starter Edition Revealed, Guest Pass Required

If you want a taste of Diablo III, and didn’t manage to sneak into the beta version, then Blizzard has you covered.  The Diablo III Starter Edition gives you an extended look at the game.  As the Starter Edition covers about as much as the beta version did, it should offer at least 2-3 hours of gameplay.  Unfortunately, to get the Starter Edition during the next month, you’ll need a Guest Pass, which can only be provided by someone who’s already purchased Diablo III.

Here’s the full terms of the Starter Edition:

Diablo III Starter Edition provides players the ability to try out a limited version of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys allow a player to give friends the opportunity to play the Starter Edition of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys are included in all box copies of Diablo III.

Players on Starter Edition game licenses have the following restrictions:

  • Act I up to the Skeleton King is available
  • Level 13 cap
  • Matchmaking available only with other Starter Edition players
  • No Real Money Auction House access

How do I get the Diablo III Starter Edition?

Log into your Battle.net Account Management page and navigate to the Download Game Clients section. The Diablo III Starter Edition will be available for download there. Players without a Battle.net account can create one, and then download the Starter Edition. Note: The Diablo III Starter Edition will not be available without a Guest Pass until 30 days after the game launches.

How do I download the Diablo III Starter Edition?

Navigate to the Download Game Clients section of your Battle.net Account Management page and click the icon for your operating system under the Diablo III heading.

How do I upgrade from Starter Edition to the full version of Diablo III?

Log into Battle.net Account Management and select your copy of Diablo III Starter Edition on the Game Account list. On your Diablo III Starter Edition Game Management page, you will see your upgrade options on the right-hand side.
