Many reports are coming in that people without beta are able to play! We can indeed report this this was true however battle.net is currently down. Check out this thread for more info. Some reports also say they could only play with other "Starter Edition" players. It looks like players without beta who logged in were greeted with the Starter Edition banner at the top right (thanks Sinke)
We will keep this updated as soon as the servers are back from maintenance and inform if this is still working! (However with the maintenance worded with "while we work to resolve an issue." There is a very good chance this was a bug.
