Diablo III Free For WoW Annual Subscribers

Want Diablo 3 for free when it launches? Just sign up for Blizzard's newly announced World of Warcraft "Annual Pass".

The pass is a 12-month subscription to World of Warcraft that can be billed monthly or all at once. "This is the full digital version of the game -- not a trial or limited edition," said Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime. The WoW annual pass also gives you guaranteed access into next WoW expansion beta and an exclusive in-game mount called Tyriel's Charger based off Diablo III.

The annual pass is available now.

  • And I just let my WoW re-occurring monthly charge expire when I got my new card, because I hadn't played it in months...
  • So to get the game free would I have to keep paying every year for a year of WoW until the game comes out.. if it ever comes out.... yeah good deal for blizzard I guess
  • Sounds like a sweet deal to me except for the fact that I won't want to play WoW when Diablo 3 comes out.

  • I wish I still played WoW...

  • I don't know if this would really be for me. I flirt with the idea of leaving WoW too often to seriously consider something like this. But that new mount is tempting, and I do want to play D3.
  • Ill have to check this out

  • Never played wow. Tho I'm sure a buddy of mine will look into this. He's been waiting for Diablo 3 for idk how many years.

  • Price? Link? Bueller?
  • That's a pretty good incentive to get back into WoW. I got to play a bit of the beta for Diablo III, it was pretty fun and I'd love to check out more.

  • This is amazing. I already play WoW, and I'm really excited for Diablo III, so this is just.... Yeah. The other free stuff is just icing on the cake.

  • Hoooooo.... this is treading on thin ice. If anything in the realm of special privileges, items, access whatever (For D3) ends up being tied having an active WoW account... I honestly don't know what I'll do. It's strange having the same name behind both my most beloved and perhaps one of my most disliked franchises.
  • That's pretty cool.

  • Wow!  But I don't want to play WoW!

  • WoW, not a deal to me. Never played WoW thankfully.

  • Hmmm I like how I can pay monthly and get into the next beta for sure. I might just have to do this. Though I am not sure I want to pay for both WoW and SWTOR at the same time while I wait for the next xpac.

  • Now if only I played WoW...

  • The best thing i have heard at Blizzcon so far is "Diablo III is coming sooner than you may think"  IDK who said it, but I hope that means early January.

  • Do people have enough time to play both? o.O

  • Good deal, but Im not sure Id be into Diablo anyway. Ill stick to Starcraft.

  • How much does a one year pass cost?
