Blizzard has just released the
Diablo 3 Starter Edition, which allows gamers to play through the first act and reach level 13, all for FREE.
There are several ways to get the
Starter Edition:
-
Log in to your existing Battle.net account at http://www.battle.net, and sign up for the Diablo III Starter Edition through the “Your Game Accounts” section.
-
Create a new Battle.net account here and the Diablo III Starter Edition license will be added to your account automatically.
-
Grab the Diablo III game disc from a friend, install the game, and then log in with your Battle.net account. The Diablo III Starter Edition will be added to your account automatically.
It seems that Blizzard is following the recent trend of going free-to-play like
other game companies. Blizzard hasn't stated whether or not it will go completely free to play past the first act, but it almost seems inevitable.
