Diablo 3 free for annual WoW subscribers
by Andrew Yoon, Oct 21, 2011 11:30am PDTWorld of Warcraft players are some of the most dedicated Blizzard fans out there. At BlizzCon today, the company announced plans on rewarding World of Warcraft subscribers with quite an enticing bonus: a free copy of Diablo III when it releases. (You will only get the regular edition, not the special edition pictured above.)
Of course, there are some strings attached. To be eligible for the bonus, you must get a new 12 month "annual pass," which costs $15 a month.
In addition to a free copy of Diablo 3, you'll also get guaranteed access to the next expansion pack beta, with the 12 month commitment. Finally, you'll get an exclusive mount, Tyrael's Charger, for use in WOW after patch 4.3 releases. Tyrael's Charger can be used as either a ground or flying mount.
Unfortunately, this promotion is for current World of Warcraft players only, and is not valid for any new subscribers. "New World of Warcraft accounts created after October 18, 2011 are not eligible to for this promotion," a Q&A further details.

is not correct from
"New World of Warcraft accounts created after October 18, 2011 are not eligible to for this promotion,"
I have an account from 2005. Its not active. Therefore It would be created before October 18, 2011 but I'm not a current subscriber. Based on the quote it sounds like I would be able to get the promotion. Based on what you said that does not seem like the case.
