"Diablo 3&amp;#039;s Starter Edition has been confirmed by Blizzard. The Starter Edition will provide a limited introduction to the game with similar content to the game&amp;#039;s private beta, which had previously leaked the Starter Edition&amp;#039;s existence. Players will be able to select any of the game&amp;#039;s five classes and complete Act 1 up to the Skeleton King boss encounter. There will be a level cap set at level 13, and users will not be able to participate in multiplayer with others playing the full game, instead limited to matchmaking with other Starter Edition players. Users will also not be able to access real money auction houses in the Starter Edition. For the first 30 days after Diablo 3&amp;#039;s release the Starter Edition will only be available through a guest pass code. Guest passes will be included with the full version of the game to be handed out to friends. After 30 days have passed, on June 14, the Starter Edition will unlock and become available to all users. Users will have the option to upgrade from the Starter Edition to the full game through the account settings in their personal Battle.net account.
