In preparation for the launch of Diablo 3 on Tuesday, May 15th, Blizzard has announced plans to shut down the beta servers on Tuesday, May 1st.
As a result, all beta accounts and character information will be reset. Leading up to Diablo 3's launch, fans will only be able to create comments and forum posts on the official Diablo 3 community site if they have pre-ordered the game or have a StarCraft II or an active World of Warcraft game license attached to their Battle.net account.
"We'd like to thank everyone who has participated in the Diablo III beta," Blizzard wrote in their most recent blog post. "You've done an admirable job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development."
