That's a good point. It takes about 1 second in D2 to TP back to town so if the doorbell, phone or anything goes simply just back to town and you're sorted.

I'm assuming D3 will have a similar system of getting to and from areas so certainly isn't going to be a gamebreaker.

Can be done in combat although it takes 10 seconds to cast (not a problem if witch doctor) - so that you can't use it to cheat death also. It's similar to a WoW hearthstone in a way.

Firstly - the spammer who sent me a "Congratulations!" D3 Beta invite email needs shooting.

Secondly - had anyone actually had an invite yet?

Lastly - Interesting preview of D3 where the author claims that D3 is "a significantly different game" to what we're expecting. Not sure if thats a good thing?

Blizzard isn't actually emailing you when they invite you anymore, there's too many phishing scams about. To see if you're invited, check your battle.net account page.

EU beta hasn't even opened yet has it?

Yeah it has, it started last week according to the news post they put out on http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/. I read somewhere that they was having some stability problems with servers etc, so invites are going out in tiny small waves it seems.

I heard that the beta starts in the US first - Then a week or 2 later it'll start in the EU. I've not heard of a single person get a beta invite over here yet.

At the moment there is only US severs for the beta but they are sending invites worldwide. It's just the servers are only in US for the moment. The are plenty of Europeans receiving keys on the forums.

Thats what I've red as well.

E-mails still go out for the Diablo beta from what I've red on Diablo fan sites. Where did you read this?

Agree on the numerous phishing scams though!

Emails are still going out, but Blizzard have said don't click anything in them, check/enter codes directly on the site instead when you receive one.

Ah I see. Well I guess it's a good idea to make it a bit longer to do because it certainly was used as a cheap way to cheat death. When in reality you should be analyzing the situation before going in and only continuing if you can handle it.

Not sure if any here have had an invite but I know at least some in the EU have now from NeoGAF.

They flagged accounts on Battle.net first and then sent the email according to some, so checking both is a good bet.

There was multiple screen shots posted of public lobby games from different days, weekend being the most busy, but at the most there was about 150 people playing at one time. So even if you are signed up for the beta, chances are pretty low you will actually get in.

For now, yes, but of course a big part of beta testing is server stressing, so they're going to be increasing the number of players invited to the beta over time.

I'm sooooo gagging to try it - For me, as a gamer this is my most anticipated game of all time. I've been waiting since D2 LOD lol. Part of me is telling me to wait it out until the game is released early 2012 though. If i got a key i'd feel so torn but i know after 14 seconds of hard thinking i'd install and play it lol

After the week I've had it is small consolation, believe me. My mate that sits next to me at work, and has done for the last 6 years (known him for around 20 years) died suddenly on Tuesday night at the age of 41. Still sinking in to be honest, doesn't feel real.

Work have given me the day off after sending me home yesterday. At least I have something to take my mind off things for the weekend, but damn I would trade it to have him back
