14 DAY TRIAL // Blizzard has just updated the Public Test Realm for Diablo 3's Patch 2.0.1 and the Reaper of Souls closed beta to version 2.0.0.21390, bringing quite a lot of improvements and changes to the role-playing dungeon crawler.
Diablo 3 is set to receive the massive patch 2.0.1 this March, alongside the Reaper of Souls expansion, and both releases are currently on the public test realm, although the add-on is still in closed beta.
