The Diablo III installer is now live, as Blizzard has flipped one of their switches, or turned on a server, or whatever they do to allow us to install the game.
If you already have the client downloaded from Battle.NET, you can go ahead and run the setup application, beginning the installation process. You still have to wait until tonight to play the game, though. In what should be a pretty active launch night, it’s highly recommended you install now so you can log in sooner and grind faster.
Servers will go live at 12:00 AM PDT. That’s 3:00 AM EDT.
One interesting thing of note about the installer: it’s the same exact process as World of Warcraft: you can play the game even though the game isn’t fully installed/patched, so long as enough files have been set up for a “playable” state.
We’ll be streaming launch night/day, so make sure you watch me play if you can’t get access to the game just yet.
If you’re still on the fence about picking up Diablo III, though I’m not sure why you would be, Blizzard announced the Diablo III Starter Edition & Guest Pass, which is a fancy word for “demo.” You’ll be able to level up to 13, complete Act I, and join games with other Starter Edition players. Every boxed copy of Diablo III will contain a guest pass key, so make sure you bug your friends for one if you still want to try it out.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!

thats most if it, cant fit the rest
I try to log into wow but it says i need to use my battle.net account and i can’t remember what email i used. Is there anyway i can recover it?
If I buy diablo III when it’s out in Taiwan, will I be able to play the game in English? I know it’s going to be in Traditional Chinese. I am wondering if there’s a way I can download the full English Version from Blizzard and or perhaps it has English built-in already. I really hating buying it in the States and have it shipped here. Thanks.
I have just finished installing Diablo 3 from he download client, but it is stuck on 7.60GB out of 7.60GB.
At the bottom of the download it says; “Finished Downloading “Diablo-III-8378-enGB-Installer”.” It has been this way for about 5mins now. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do, without losing the data downloaded? I really want to get to playing this game.
Thanks a tonne for your help – Pete :3
I know I can play with only the Diablo 2 serial, but I want to play with the expansion, on the official battle.net server. Can I do it with only the expansion serial?
I booted up Wow and on the log in info column it said past Nov 11th you have to convert your Wow account to a battle.net account to play Wow, I went on the website and there was 2 bars, Email Address and Password.
Do I enter my Wow password or my email address’s password?
I stopped playing a while ago before all this battle.net stuff was on, but now I want to play again. I made an account on Battle.net and went to merge my world of warcraft account in, but it says it’s already merged into a battle.net account? How do I find out which account it is merged to.
Thanks.
From what I know it seems unnecessary. Though all I know is that it allows you to make sure anyone who logs onto your account has to have your approval first. And also how do I get to the merge page. Blizz just takes me here https://us.battle.net/login/login.xml do I make an account then merge? That’s what I’m assuming but I really don’t want to mess it up.
I have the latest patch.When I enter the multiplayer, it shows me the gateways(Asia, Europe, etc.), but whe I try to enter one of them, it tells me that battle.net didn’t properly recognized the version, what to do?
WIll I be able to play World of warcraft in Blizzard Battle.net account from India? If I can play kindly let me know how much the game costs? do I require the previous versions like the TBC, and how much is the Account creation cost. The account creation panel in the blizzard website says only for certain countries whr India is not thr.
I have Warcraft 3 installed on mine and my friends computer. We both would like to play battle.net at the same time, but their rules only permit 1 key on at a time. The problem is that we no longer have the cd’s but we have different codes from the internet and various key hacks. If anyone could tell me how to modify this code without uninstalling the game i would really appreciate it.
I’ve been locked out of my battle.net account because of my IP address changing. I’ve tried to recover the account, but they keep sending me the same message that is to “change my password,” but to do that, i need my security answer or the code that came with the game. I dont have either. Can someone please tell me a way to get back into my account? PS, I’ve also tried to call and tweet them but have gotten no response.
