Blizzard lifts Act I restrictions for new players in Diablo III

Blizzard has removed the leveling and content restrictions associated with Act I for new players, thanks to patch 1.0.3a.

Last week the company reported that anyone who bought the game online would have to wait 72 hours before progressing through the entire campaign.

Today the developers released a batch of hotfixes, which address an item path-finding problem among other issues. Patch 1.0.3b has been "delayed slightly."
