Update - The issues some people had to register on the forums should be fixed.
Also, I would like to point out that the Random Forum Post Contest is exactly what it says, random. The reason why I didn't specify how many hours we'll go back to pick winners is because it will be extremely random to make sure you don't have to post every 2 hours or something to be eligible.
Diablofans Diablo 3 Beta Key Contest! 450 Keys to win!
Blizzard was kind enough to give us 450 Diablo 3 Beta Keys and we're giving them all to you through 3 different contests! The first 2 contests are starting right now and you can already get ready for them! The 3rd one will happen a little later when everyone is aware of it.
1. Random Post Contest - 200 Keys
This contest will allow you to win a beta key just by posting on our forums! If you don't have an account yet, all you have to do is Create an Account to start posting! Of course, you'll have to follow a few rules:
- Posts must be constructive
- Posts must be on topic with the original post
- It must add to the conversation (ex: no “I agree with this.” alone)
- Must be at least three sentences
- Must contain no flaming or trolling
2. Facebook and Twitter Quiz - 200 Keys
Think you know a few things about the Diablo universe? Good, because you can get beta keys just by answering a few questions! Throughout the next 2 weeks we will ask questions on our Facebook and Twitter Account. The 5 first people who give the right answer get a beta key, it's that simple!
We will make sure to ask questions at different times of the day to give everyone a fair chance, no matter what your timezone is!
Obviously, the best way to make sure you catch the questions as they appear is to follow us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter! Good luck!
3.What will be your character's build in Diablo 3? - 50 Keys -Not Yet Started-
For those of you who don't feel like posting on the forums or who don't think they will be lucky enough to catch a question as fast as possible, we have something much simpler!
- 1. Go to the official Character Skill Calculator
- 2. Select what you think is the best skill build for your Diablo 3 character.
- 3. Post the result in the Character Skill Calculator Builds Contest Forum Thread!
Important - To not disturb the forum post contest, the character build contest will only last 24H and will be announced one day before when we open the entry thread.
I agree with you and totally hope you get a beta key, I believe this one post of yours is not quite what they had in mind. I only say this as I do hope you get a Beta Key. It is random from any post in the forums, however it is for the posts that attempt to stay on topic with the original post, have at least three sentences, arent just "my entry" type posts. Best to get involved in the community and spread it around if you have hopes of getting a Beta Key. Good Luck, and Happy Posting!!
long time lurker here, hoping for a key finally (after 7 contests so far!)
Maybe I only did 1 post here but I was a lot more active on other Curse website like WoW but I stopped playing it few days ago and I am a big fan of diablo games I even got the annual pass only to get it asap from Bnet but I never really posted here tho.
Important - To not disturb the forum post contest, the character build contest will only last 24H and will be announced one day before.
Read what it says in the bottom of the THREAD . they are going to annonced it 1 day before ( Before the post opens ) and the post will last for 24hours. So check out the forum regularly too know when the thread is going to be open for the contester's participating in the char's builds :)! Good luck
I hope luck is with me this time!!!
Can't use twitter nor facebook at work, so this is my only chance! =D
Best luck to all!!!
To be a beta tester for Diablo 3 would be a privilege:
- To improve a game from the beginning.
- To get a heads up on a game I will be getting
- To rub it in my son’s face that he does not have access yet (This is really the only reason)
1.) People are just going to create multiple accounts in order to increase their odds of getting a key.
2.) The long time members are going to get flooded out by the newbs that are ONLY contributing for the key.
3.) The influx of new members normally creates an influx of repeat topics and questions that are often retarded as they are old old old news.

Oh look, I've already entered the first contest. Nevermind.
There's tools we mods have to make sure there aren't multiple accounts. We've banned members before for this, even without beta key giveaways. Just sayin'!
Anyways, good luck everyone! At least the amount of keys to be distributed is large enough to have a good part of the community satisfied!
I've been an avid Diablo 2 player since its release back in 2000, and I'm ready to embrace some of the new twists and turns the devs are bringing us in Diablo 3. It would be too cool to win a beta key, but if not I won't be bitter about it. This wait has been well worth it. The time is nearing my friends.
Good luck to everyone as well.
