DIABLO 3: REAPER OF SOULS BETA (Escapist News Now)

Blizzard has announced that 3,000 of the most active Diablo 3 players will be invited to the Friends & Family beta for the Reaper of Souls expansion.

The beta will include all of the content from the expansion, minus the final boss fight of course. This is the first time Blizzard has invited community players into the closed Family & Friends beta and they will continue to handpick additional members to the beta as long as you've opted in. You can change your opt-in settings over at Battle.net if you want the chance to get selected for the beta.

The expansion includes all kinds of new stuff including a new, upgraded loot system and a new character class, The Crusader and will be live sometime in 2014. Our correspondent Maxwell Song recently was at Blizzcon and got all the details which you can check out in his preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er-bm-vyf3g
