We'd like to thank everyone who has participated in the Diablo III beta. You've done an admirable job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development.
In preparation for the launch of Diablo III on Tuesday, May 15, the beta servers will be brought offline on Tuesday, May 1. At that time, all beta accounts and character information will be reset. Leading up to Diablo's May 15 launch date, players will only be able to create comments and forum posts on the official Diablo III community site if they have pre-purchased Diablo III or have a StarCraft II or an active World of Warcraft game license attached to their Battle.net account. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to stay tuned to this website for exciting news and updates regarding the upcoming release.
Thank you again for your participation, and we'll see you soon on Battle.net!
We're currently in the process of preparing the next beta patch for release. As part of this patch, we'll be wiping all characters. Items, auctions, artisans, followers, and friends lists will also be wiped, and your Beta Buck balance will be reset to 50.
While we do not have a precise ETA for when Beta Patch 17 will go live, we expect downtime to deploy the patch to be minimal. Please stay tuned to this thread for updates.
So does patch 17 imply 3 updates on 5/15? I'm curious how long that initial patch download is going to be. Anticipating pretty bad server lag for a while too.

I'm gonna miss playing D3 for those 2 weeks. Been in the beta since November and played it almost daily even with the limited content. Good indications that I'll be playing the full game on a pretty consistent basis.
Beta just makes you want to play the game even more when it does launch. I have had fun playing the beta, has been a good experience. But I am ready for launch and see what happens after Skeleton King and level 13....
