Blizzard announced so many deals, expansions and Pokemon things yesterday that there was bound to be some confusion. Today at a Q&A panel,
Diablo 3 developers clarified the meta-deal it has with
World of Warcraft's annual pass -- purchasing the
Diablo 3 collector's edition adds four free months to the
World of Warcraft annual pass timeframe. We knew buying the annual pass gets existing
WoW players
Diablo 3 for free, but it turns out the feeling is mutual.
To be completely clear, to get
Diablo 3 for free, you must:
-
Have a WoW account existing on or before Oct. 18, 2011
-
Purchase the WoW annual pass
-
Enjoy your free standard version of Diablo 3, available at launch on your Battle.net account
To get four months of
WoW for free, you must:
-
Purchase the Diablo 3 collector's edition
-
Have a WoW account existing on or before Oct. 18, 2011
-
Purchase the WoW annual pass
-
Enter the Diablo 3 collector's edition license key into your associated Battle.net account
-
Enjoy a grapefruit
Maybe not that last one, but you should check the annual pass FAQs just to be sure. Besides, you look as if you could use some Vitamin A.
