Blizzard will be limiting accounts of players who have bought Diablo 3 through its online store to Starter Editions. Beta players will be familiar with the limited functionality offered by this version, including:
- Only Act I up to the Skeleton King available
- Level 13 cap
- Matchmaking available only with other Starter Edition players
- No Auction House access
- Global Play not available
- Players attempting to connect to Diablo III Starter Edition in a region other than their Battle.net account’s home region will receive Error 12
“Digital purchases do require a review period before they kick over from Starter to Full editions. We apologise for the inconvenience, but it is a necessary step to combat fraud and other malicious activities that can weaken everyone’s play experience,” a Blizzard rep wrote in the Diablo forum. “The delay is no longer than three days, and is often much quicker than that. Hang tight. :)”
