Considering that many gamers have waited almost a decade for Diablo 3, it is safe to assume that many have already pre-purchased the game or are planning to attend the various launch events held around the world. Either way if you’ve got a friend who’s still on the fence or has no clue as to why the game is such a big deal, Blizzard has officially announced the Diablo 3 Starter Edition & Guest Pass. The Starter Edition will allow players to play until a level cap of 13 in the game and will make it all the way until the Skeleton King quest in Act I, just like the beta. They will not be able to access the Real Money Auction House either. The Guest Pass will essentially give players the same thing, but the Guest Pass can only be provided by those who purchased the box copy of Diablo 3 (much like the World of Warcraft guest passes). However if you weren’t invited to downloaded the game via the Guest Pass, the Starter Edition will only be made available for download only after 30 days from the game’s launch. Head on over to Blizzard’s website for the details.
