Path of Exile free this weekend during stress test

Path of Exile free this weekend during stress test:
Path of Exile, the upcoming free-to-play Diablo-esque dungeon crawler, is currently going through its second public stress test.

Path of Exile was easily responsible for one of our oddest preview "appointments" ever and you can learn a lot more on the developer's detailed public stress weekend FAQ.
