Open Beta Issues
There are a few errors going around while trying to play the Open Beta. Fear not though, Bashiok has rounded them up and has given as much info as he can on each one.
The open beta has begun and we've been extremely successful in that we've already managed to break a few things. We've capped the open beta concurrency until we can resolve some stability and service issues, and until it's resolved you will likely see an Error 37 when attempting to log in.
Error 12 - This is an error we're still investigating but you can workaround it by simply changing your Battle.net account password to force your account information to refresh. Once changed you can change it back.
Error 3003 - Click Options, under Account change your region to The Americas. The open beta is only being held on US hardware.
Error 315300 - If you're sure you're typing your correct account information, check to ensure no additional spaces were added before or after your email address. If that doesn't work try a completely wrong account name and wrong password, error, and then again try your correct Battle.net account email and password.
Error 24000 - Once logged in you may run into this error when attempting to start a game. We're aware and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Gray login button - You need to use your Battle.net email address as your account name. Your BattleTag is a nickname, not your account name.
We understand that picking out the appropriate desktop wallpaper to fit your tastes and complement your décor can be an arduous task. To that end, we'll be offering you help every Friday (...roughly) by featuring a new downloadable Diablo III, StarCraft II orWorld of Warcraft wallpaper image on our community sites.

Diablo III: The Order: Explore this chilling excerpt from The Order, an upcoming novel recounting Deckard Cain's struggles against the forces of evil alongside his mysterious young charge, Leah. This story takes place years before the event of Diablo III.
i really do enjoy these diaries they really give an amazing insight into how even the small details in the game are done. I really thought the detail and creativity for the skeleton sounds were awsome gives the fans a nice idea of how serious blizz takes their game designs
That unlock was the best yet. Lots of interesting stuff there. I in particular love how they create the sounds in the game. So much creativity behind that.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I can see what you see not. Vision milky, then eyes rot.
When you turn, they will be gone. Whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be. Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind. Cast down into the Halls of the Blind
