FYI, we’re getting very close to starting the closed public beta test for Diablo III. You might start seeing some new reports about the beta client as we’ve begun limited external testing with employees and their families, and there is no non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for that. We look forward to sharing more info about the beta test in the near future. Stay tuned.

If you have a beta license, you are free to show, share, or talk about any portion of the beta content to which you have access, as this beta test is not confidential.

Q u o t e:
Why was this posted later on these forums then the others?
Has thou forgotten us Bashiok?!

Anyhow, hope this "close" is actually close.

Because I can log in and post on the new forums from home. :)

Q u o t e:
Do friends and family keep beta access once you've moved into the closed beta? I thought this would be an obvious yes, but somebody asked me that today, and I'd like to be able to give the correct answer.

We don't plan to remove anyone's access once they have it.
