Hell Hath No Fury: Diablo 3 Beta Key Giveaway Week 2!
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 04:26pm 23/02/12 | 108 Comments
It's week two, and as promised, we have even more beta keys to giveaway this week for Diablo III, thanks to Blizzard Entertainment.

As mentioned when we first ran the promo, this is a four week-long exercise, though each week's giveaway will be a little different. This week we're only giving away keys to anyone who has been signed up to AusGamers for more than a year, and you'll need to have had an active input through news Comments or forum posts in the last little while. This is all tied to an unlockable Achievement on the site called "One Year Old!", so if you have this bad boy, you can have at a Diablo III beta key.

Click here to get yours now!

For those of you getting a key.

Try to use it on a battle.net account that is at least 6 months old. The older the better as the 315300 issue is mostly happening to people with newer accounts.

Just a heads up so you don't have to join my camp, we sleep in our own filth here..

It's a brilliant idea though.

For those who don't meet the Achievement requirement:

Don't panic.

Once we're happy that enough of the regulars have been taken care of (i.e., so we don't have to listen to their much more regular complaints about missing out :) we'll remove the restriction.

Just a heads up for those that missed it.

Try to attached your B3 beta key to an older battle.net account the older the better. There has been a username/password issue that is affecting mainly newer battlnet accounts, although not all and some older.

Good luck.

Login to Bnet -> Manage My Games -> Games & Codes -> Add or Upgrade a Game -> [Enter it here].

It will give you the client download link after you enter your DoB, but here it is anyway (no secret, it's readily available even to those without a key, like the WoW client).

Once you've finished the beta a few dozen times and decked your characters out in the best gear for the level cap you can sit back waiting for a patch so you have a reason to play it again.
