Some Diablo 3 Digital Download Restrictions Removed



Along with patch 1.0.3a Blizzard has removed a few of the temporary restrictions to the Diablo 3 digital download version. As we reported earlier, those who purchased the Diablo 3 digital download version of the game were not allowed full access to all gaming features until their payment was fully verified. Gamers could be stuck playing a limited demo-like version of Diablo 3 until payment was verified and in some cases this process could take up to 72 hours. These restrictions were put in place by Blizzard as a security measure to deter credit card fraud.

Blizzard will now be removing the level 13 character cap restriction and will also allow for further exploration beyond the Act 1 area restrictions. However, for security reasons, many temporary restrictions will still be in place, such as:

  • No public game access for unverified digital purchasers.
  • No auction house access (real-money or gold) for unverified digital purchasers.
  • Unverified digital purchasers cannot trade items or drop items for other players to receive.
  • Unverified digital purchasers are not able to chat in any public or game channels.
  • Unverified digital purchasers cannot attach a custom message to friend requests, but they can send/accept friend requests, and play with their friends.
  • Global Play is not available for unverified digital purchasers.
