What exactly are beta bucks?
They're used for the beta auction house as far as I can tell.

I just missed the pubclub contest, so it's nice to get another chance. It's probably the only way Blizzard is gonna get me to play diablo 3 (damn DRM). Good luck everyone!

Fair enough I guess.

Yeah I'm thinking its a no go for me too, for partly the same reason, the other reason was the bullshit excuse they pulled for even putting it on there. Its bad enough to treat your customer like a criminal, but to also treat him like a fucking moron...

Anywho..entered because I wouldn't mind seeing what its like at least, even though it is a beta, but ah well.

Here you go. Direct from Blizzard :)

"As part of the ongoing Diablo III beta test, a trial version of the currency-based auction house will be available for players to begin using within the beta. Testers will receive 50 Beta Bucks to test the buying and selling of in-game items. The gold-based auction house will be inaccessible to testers during this phase of the beta test, and any currently listed auction items will be returned to the seller."

It's not allowing me to log in to my escapist account on the facebook page. The page just refreshes when I click login and nothing changes (including the box where I'm supposed to log in). Is this a known issue?

Participating in this contest requires me to deactivate secure browsing in Facebook and unencrypt my personal data. Why the Escapist chooses Facebook interaction is beyond me.

Thanks but no thanks

Actually, you can enter without even having a Facebook account.... read the article again.

Though they give away more keys via Facebook, which is kinda stupid, imho.
I, for one will never start using Facebook.

Got all of them quickly except question 2. I tried nearly EVERYTHING I could think of that was logically possible and was about to send a PM to ThyNameIsMud or someone to see if it was a glitch, but then I remembered that item and felt dumb afterwards.

EDIT: Also, don't PM me to have me tell you the answer. I MAY give you a small hint, but that's all.

Lol, I was going to sign up since I want to play D3 for free to confirm that I'll hate it as much as D2, but I know literally none of the answers! I guess this is proof that I should just leave a beta key for someone that would play it for more than 5 mins...

In order to include our entire community, we are running TWO separate and concurrent giveaways. One is on our site that does not require ANY Facebook interaction, and the second is on our Facebook page through an embedded app wholly built and run by The Escapist. If you chose not to access Facebook, you can enter to our on-site contest at the bottom of the page here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/contests/register/Diablo3BetaGiveaway

This is why you can't get question 2 on the escapist one. Hopefully they fix the code some time soon.

I stand corrected. Thank you
You can actually participate directly from the Escapist, I saw the invitation through FB first and that was the only way to participate with the links provided there. Although I was wrong, more clarity can be provided. It is also bad if, in fact, they reserve more keys to be given away in a social site than here as Bakan mentioned
