I've heard that there are some limitations on being able to create/play hardcore characters in Diablo 3.
What are the parameters (if any) that need to be met to create a hardcore character? Can I jump in straight away with a hardcore character?

You must reach level 10 with any character before Hardcore is unlocked. You do not need to keep a character at level 10 however, as deleting all of your level 10 softcore characters will not remove your ability to play hardcore.
Level 10 is when we open access to create hardcore characters. We want players to have a general idea of how to play before giving hardcore a try. Experienced players will easily reach this level in a few hours, so we think this makes for a good balance.
