Blizzard Dishes Out 100,000 Diablo III Beta Invites

Blizzard has made it known that a total of 100,000 Diablo III beta invites have been sent by it to gamers residing in North America. Those who have opted for this test have been asked by the developer to check their Battle.net accounts for notifications of them being chosen.

And those who’re unlucky enough to have not received any such invites need not be disappointed, for over the coming weeks, various promotions, contests and giveaways will be conducted to hand out the Diablo III beta keys. These will take place on Blizzard’s very own websites as well as those of fans. The developer has also announced on the title’s official blog that gamers must be alert about fake invites that could be nothing but phishing attempts.

“Please be aware that with this large wave of invites we expect there could be an increase in the number of phishing attempts. Some unscrupulous individuals send out falsified emails purporting to be from Blizzard, but are in fact meant to steal your login credentials. For more information on how to identify these emails please refer to our Battle.net Security site. One easy way to ensure your invite is legit is to avoid clicking on links in any invite emails you receive, and instead log in to your Battle.net account and see if you have a Diablo III beta license attached. If there’s no license you can be sure the email you received was not from Blizzard,” read a post on Diablo III’s official blog.

Diablo III 3

This game is an action RPG which acts as a sequel to the extremely popular Diablo II. Taking place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo series, the title is said to possess a similar gameplay style to its predecessor, but with various new additions. Slated to ship in early 2012, the game is yet to be blessed with a definite release date.
