YOU ARE allowed to download that client, they are on a PUBLIC server [aka no password is needed] (not owned by blizzard btw, but used by blizzard) You have nothing at all to worry about download the client right from edgesuit
I'm hoping (and i know it won't happen but can still hope) they release a starter version and you can carry that character over to release. That would be awesome

Yeah it doesn't say anything about dling it or installing it really. I don't think you're supposed to play it, though.
Considering you have to go out of your way to dl a client of a game you are not supposed to be playing... lol
Should Blizz ban anyone for this? No. But, really, let's not pretend you didn't know you were not doing something that wasn't intended. If they gave a link on battle.net for you to dl the beta I'd agree. But if you went out of your way to dl the beta from I don't know where, no.

Not going to take sides on this debate but it is interesting that he accidentally intentionally said the thing thing since he negated his intended meaning, not not not not doing something, is doing something.

I went a monk and was like POW! WAM! BANG! Then I was all like, "yo, Leoric! I'm about to do some true soviet damage on your ass!" then he was like "No way, you communist!" So I was gonna punch him in.. then BAM! no more beta/starter for me
Was nice for a little sampler though.
Hey, you got all the way to Leoric. By the time I woke up today this was all over. This is what I get for sleeping in, I guess.

that probably will be the case with started edition but definitely not before launch

A lot of people weren't sure it was a bug though. Do you really believe everything Blizzard says (lol). A lot of people were hoping that they would surprise everyone with a chance to play. Some people logged in because others said they could, but probably didn't know nothing was said by Blizzard about it.
Really, I don't think anyone has anything to worry about. It was a mistake, and made a lot of people really happy for a short time.
DON'T BAN HAPPINESS!
Don't play stupid dude.
Blizzard has REPEATEDLY said there will be no open beta. REPEATEDLY.
They have the right to ban everyone and anyone that exploited this bug.

They may have the right but they won't ban anyone before a game comes out and what would be the point? Create a new battlenet account before you ever payed for the game? Nothing will happen.

I'm not saying they will... they would lose sales too which would't be smart.
I just hate when people try to use ignorance as an excuse.
Damn I saw this at 1:30am PST right when I got home from work when it opened, started getting the client downloaded again. Figured I'd go to sleep and try in the morning... Knew I should have stayed up, I could have gotten a good 3 hours of beta playing in, now it's gone.

I'm not playing stupid, and I'm not a dude, dude. I know there probably won't be an open beta. But not everyone hears every word Blizzard says, and if someone happens to find out they can log into the beta then they'll try it. I think banning would be silly, but yes of course they could do it, I know they have the right, never said they didn't. It even says in their ToU that they have the right to ban people for no reason at all. I've been in the beta since October, so I don't care, I'm just saying, not everyone knows everything everyone else knows.
I just pre-purchased and downloaded D3. Am I supposed to be allowed to install it now or do I have to wait until release?
This isn't really the place to ask that, pretty much hijacking, but you have to wait until release.
It's not hijacking and it's not illegal. You can download the game if you have pre-purchased it. There is nothing wrong with that at all obviously because they link you to the download on your battle.net account.
Can you install it? Yes you can. Will you be able to play? No. It will download part of the game content and the installer for you. It means nothing, you can't play, you aren't doing anything wrong, or else they wouldn't provide you with it.
As for what you can install and play right now is the beta only, to answer Vibing's question. People without the beta are still able to download the client, but aren't able to access it unless their account is flagged for the beta, except for the few hours last night where somehow anyone was allowed in.
It's amazing how impatient some people are getting. No there will be no open beta deal with it. To those who won the lottery last night and got to play congrats. It's less than a month away go outside and get some sun. I promise it's going no where. If you're really that hard up play some Torchlight or replay through D2.

Wise ElderBut yes, it now is much sooner then it was previously. Which is logical I guess.
Not sure what my point is.
Ha. Bagstone.

Wise ElderFact 2: Blizzard didn't ban people for the exploit to find new areas. They certainly could.
Solid Speculation 1: Blizzard won't ban anyone for this minor mistake on their end. 99,9% sure.
Now, let's ease up the moods and focus on talking about how the maintenance is going to take another 6 hours.
