So I got a beta key in the facebook sweepstakes, activated it and am now downloading the game client. I went over to the official forums and it seems to be still using my expired WoW account. Anyone know if it just takes a while to activate, or will I need to create a D3 character first?
As mentioned you need to create a character first, since I don't think it's possible to write with characters that aren't on active games such as World of Warcraft characters while you have no current subscription.
Alright so in case anyone cares, as it turns out you don't need a D3 character to start posting on the official forums. Not sure how long it took exactly but I checked around 3am last night and there was a D3BETA entry in my character list. When you click that you have to make a temporary nickname to use on the forums.
As a side note, I've now played the beta for an hour and a half or so and I'm loving it. Admittedly, the combat feels a little bit Torchlight'ish, but much improved upon. Things are crazy easy at first but do start to get tougher as you play through. Another all night shift tonight and then, hopefully, I'll be able to take on the Skeleton King in the morning.

That's good to know, as if I am shomehow invited into the Beta I don't have an active WoW subscription and can't post based on my old D2 games on the account. Congrats on the selection and it sounds like you're having fun so far.
