Diablo III is launching in a couple of weeks. Blizzard just released a full list of the region servers that will be available in the game. And of course, thanks to the also announced Global Play, you’ll be able to play on any region’s server!
There are only a few few restrictions when using Battle.net’s new Global Play functionality, with regions broken down as follows:
* The Americas – For players in the US, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.* Europe – For players in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, and Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and the United Arab Emirates.* Asia – For players in South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Any player will be able to pick any server to use. However, you won’t be able to transfer characters or items from server to server. And yes, you can switch between servers as many time as you’d like. Auction houses, stashes, and friends lists, and most other individual info will be region-specific and won’t transfer when you switch regions.
By the way, Blizzard also posted a guide to the Auction House in the Battle.Net website.
The gold-based auction house launches alongside the game, while the real-money auction house will go online approximately one week after launch.
Those who sell items for real money will have to give Blizzard a $1 to 15% cut of profits as outlined through the FAQ. The firm will also take 15% should you use PayPal or you can deposit funds into your Battle.net account to use in the game or through the purchase of future Blizzard items.
the game will launch on May 15!
