Blizzard is going to start today the Diablo 3 open beta weekend to all interested players in order to stress test the servers. Anyone with a Battle.net account can download the client and try out a portion of the action RPG.

The beta features a portion of the game's first Act. Players will travel to New Tristram and meet some of the principle characters, including Deckard Cain's niece Leah Cain. They'll also journey into the monster-filled countryside to find Deckard. The beta, which takes about an hour or so to complete, ends with a fight against the Skeleton King.

From Friday, April 20 at 21:01 CEST, until Monday, April 23 at 19:00 CEST you'll be able to log in, team up with friends, and play each of the five heroic classes to level 13 as you fight to save the world from the impending demonic invasion.
