At
BlizzCon's opening ceremony today, Blizzard President and CEO Mike Morhaime unveiled Blizzard's newest grand idea: free
Diablo 3 access to current
World of Warcraft players. All we, the players, have to do is sign up for the new
World of Warcraft annual pass, a 12-month subscription that can be billed monthly.
In addition to getting full access
Diablo 3 to download and play for free the same day it's released, Blizzard is throwing in a few goodies for anyone who signs up for the annual pass. For one, you'll get the in-game
World of Warcraft mount Tyrael's Charger. You will also gain access to the beta of the next
World of Warcraft expansion as soon as it goes live. For more information, check out the official
Annual Pass promotion page. The
official FAQ is live as well, as is Blizzard's official
walk-through of the sign-up process.
Stay tuned throughout the day for more information coming from the BlizzCon floor!
