Just some most frequently asked questions. These are quoted directly from a blue blizzard rep.
Source: http://www.diablofans.com/news/1030-web-co...nd-peripherals/ QUOTE Q. Can we play with friends on different regions? A. You can, but you'd need to log in to the EU region and create a character to begin playing with him, or he'd need to make one in your region. If you're on your character in SEA and he's on his in EU you'd be able to talk to each other using your BattleTag or Real ID, but that's it. You have to be on the same region to play together. So basically characters are region locked. But you can still play in other regions, just that you need to create a new character. So you can't just use 1 character e.g. moogle with the gear you worked so hard to get, and play on another region just like that. You need to start from scratch .... ewww The problem with this is, although characters have shared stash, it probably won't work if your other character is located in another region. So you can't item swap between them ..... if this is the case, i'm just gonna have to stick to one region and convince my friends to play in my region even though their not from that region. Someones gonna have to make a concession :/ I wonder what the latency is going to be like if i play US region. But if that was the case, i made a character for US region, but i can only use the gold auction house. The RMAH for US would then be offlimits because my bnet account is for sea region. But i can't quite sell on sea region if my character is on a US region server, or can i ??? QUOTE Q. Is the GAH global? A. The gold auction house is not global. You can use each region's gold auction house, but they're all separate, as the characters in each region are separate. You can only use the currency-based auction house of your home region. QUOTE Q. Would we be able to switch to a Euro AH when we provide proof that we "moved" to Europe. A. That all sounds right to me. I'm not sure of a process to actually flag your account for another region though, even with proof. It's possible that could happen but I'm not aware of any intent to support that. I wonder how this will work :/ QUOTE Q. Switching of regions? A. No plans at this time. I would count it among 'pretty unlikely' due to the real currency ramifications. QUOTE Q. Charging a percentage or a flat fee for currency transactions? A. You're only charged a percentage if you cash out through PayPal. There was some speculations that RMAH will have so many taxes, that your profit margin will be low. But the example they used was some example $ rates, so still too early to conclude until they give all the details about charges i believe :/ But definitely something to keep watch especially if you intend to make some pocket change via rmah. QUOTE Q. Making a character in any regional server you choose? A. We haven't announced anything along those lines because as far as I know it's not nailed down. We do pursue different business models and prices in different regions, and so we'd want to ensure that those offerings are for who they're intended. I just don't have specifics for you, but it's something we'll need to announce before ship. Well the pre-orders reckon that SEA D3 CE is double that of the NA. I think they ought to revise that QUOTE Q. How does one get assigned a home region? A. That's not something we're ready to discuss, and obviously we'll need to choose the information we do give carefully. Circumventing this wouldn't just be a 'fun trick on Blizzard' it would very possibly be a violation of serious trade laws, so we have to take it seriously. Is it based on the address you enter in bnet ? Will the blizzard account webpage check your ip address whether you originates from the country you claim to be ? Will VPN be able to circumvent this if that is the case ? QUOTE Q. Access to other region's RMAH A. Each region is compartmentalized. Character's on one region cannot play with characters on another region. Similarly, each region has its own gold and currency-based auction houses. Only characters on a region can use that region's auction houses (and of course a restriction from the currency-based if it's not your home region).

Well .... most of my friends are US region, so most likely that. But i wonder about the latency ..... besides us region will have most players
anyway my major concerns 1. will the latency be tolerable ? 2. How about RMAH ??? if my char is locked up in US server, but my bnet is sea, how do i sell my items then ? This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Dec 23 2011, 06:44 PM |

the quest system is like .... if you complete say easy mode all chapters, then you decided to do quest in act 1 at the beginning, it then wipes all your waypoints. So you can't just teleport to bosses :/ (not sure if all the other acts are wiped as well, or is it only for that 1 act you chose :/ )
Not that you can farm bosses for rare/legendary loot anyway since they only drop those on the first kill. But the thing is, you got to do the whole thing again :/ And all those waypoints you had collected, are all gone. I guess they did that to prevent power leveling but still it's annoying :/ This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Dec 24 2011, 04:40 PM |

QUOTE(Bashiok @ Dec 20 2011) I'm assuming you're not purposefully misquoting him to try to make your post factual. Let me go ahead and transcribe what he actually says in the video you linked: Zzzzzzz... Which means if my B.net ID register in SEA so be my D3."You're just buying Diablo III. You can play it anywhere in the world. So you guys get to choose. Now what we will do is we will lock you down to a specific auction house. So for instance if you're a European national you'll have access to the European auction house, but you'll still be able to play in North America. You can participate in the gold auction house anywhere in the world, right, but you can only participate in the real money auction house in your native country." Which sort of makes the rest of your post baseless in its conclusions. But that's ok! I appreciate everyone trying to unravel the secrets, and it's fun for me to read, so keep at it. |

(http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3790198992#1) Added on December 25, 2011, 9:35 pm QUOTE(xeonsam @ Dec 25 2011, 12:55 PM) QUOTE You can participate in the gold auction house anywhere in the world, right, but you can only participate in the real money auction house in your native country." I hope that this means is, if you create your character on a US region server, but your bnet account is flagged as SEA; then although you cannot be entitled to use RMAH in US region, you will still be able to use RMAH SEA, ALTHOUGH your character is located in the US region. Well i hope this is the case, if not, i cannot play with my friends and also use RMAH from time to time. Because explained recently, although you can play on any region, it's not like you can make 1 character and be able to join on all regions. The character you create has to be locked to 1 region, and you can only play in that region only. If you want to change to a different region, you need to create a totally NEW character ..... so basically very restricted mobility for your single character/characters made already in 1 region. And although if you create a few characters that can access all their loot in chest because of shared stash (chest space), this isn't the case if the characters are located on different region servers. I don't have a direct quote from blizzard saying this specifically, but from what i read, it heavily hinted at this. Yeah sure you could create another NEW character just for SEA, but obviously you would not be able to share loot stash between your characters in the US region and the SEA region :/ Also you will need to split time between playing us and sea ..... ugh So lets hope it's the first case scenario, about being able to use sea rmah even if your playing a char located in the US region Added on December 26, 2011, 4:36 amSome updates from south korea QUOTE Blizzard has submitted a version of the game to Korea without the cash-out option from the RMAH. This means that they will not be able to cash out, but still build a balance for their Blizzard store http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=...gNo=80148843094 http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=a...%3D1601&act=url Plus a tweet from Bashiok. http://twitter.com/#!/Bashiok/status/150029099384053762 Things are looking good for us now.

What I scare is the RMAH SEA is bind to SEA region server only. which means even we can play on US server and found good loot, we wont be able to sell it on RMAH SEA to the US server player.

there was a competition here to draw winner but sadly i didn't win :{
http://www.twitch.tv/D3Sanc Added on December 26, 2011, 10:24 amSome information from a blue post regarding accusations the RMAH is over charging on taxes to list items on auction, and cashing out from paypal/blizzard. http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blue-on-rmah-fees Added on December 26, 2011, 6:15 pmmore news QUOTE RMAH possibly axed for release in Korea and a global launch in Jan/Feb: QUOTE While this is far from definitive evidence that Korea will not have an RMAH, it certainly does look like Blizzard may be abandoning the RMAH in Korea for release, though read the rest of this post for more info on their longer term plans. The article references that Korean players may be allowed to sell items for Battle.net Bucks, which means the ability to use the money on the Blizzard store and services such as WoW, but not withdraw it into real money. Also of interest in the article, if I understand the translation correctly, it states that they are submitting the game for approval without the RMAH so that it is approved instantly (likely so they can actually release the game) and that they will continue to try and get the RMAH implemented after release, which can easily patch it in once it cuts through all the red tape. If you haven’t kept up on recent events concerning the RMAH in Korea situation. on during the last few weeks, Blizzard are having a lot of trouble trying to get the RMAH approved in Korea due to a lack of tolerance for virtual goods being exchanged for real money brought on by issues with such systems in the past. *Update* It seems that the RMAH may still be in at release, however with minus the cash-out ability. Which may as well be no RMAH, since you could only use the proceeds in the Blizzard store to buy Blizzard merchandise + WoW game time. http://diablo3markets.incgamers.com/blog/c...h-axed-in-korea other sources for the rmah situation update for korea QUOTE "#Diablo15 year anniversary is in 9 days! (We have a little something fun planned for the week after.) How are you going to celebrate?" http://daeity.blogspot.com/2011/12/d3-resu...r-approval.html So something is going to be announced a week after their anniversary. Launch date perhaps ? Also bashiok deleted his comments previously saying the delay was not due to the Korean ratings issue. So maybe it was the Koreans fault all along ? Regardless, there is real excitement buzzing among the fans for a possible release date to be announce "sooner than we had expected". Added on December 27, 2011, 8:18 am QUOTE Official Blizzard Quote: Reduced Gore Option We don't currently have any plans to provide reduced gore options. The game is rated M for Mature, which is a 17+ rating, and we encourage parents to remain aware of game ratings, the content in the game that led to that rating, and keep them in mind when choosing which games are appropriate for their family. (Blue Tracker/Official Forums) Added on December 27, 2011, 9:10 am QUOTE Posted by Bashiok on 12/20/2011 @ 10:44 AM So for instance if you're a European national you'll have access to the European auction house, but you'll still be able to play in North America. You can participate in the gold auction house anywhere in the world, right, but you can only participate in the real money auction house in your native country QUOTE Posted by Cujo I wonder what that's going to do for the SEA community. If we can play on NA but can't use the RMAH on NA, then... what? I guess players in SEA who want to sell / buy items from the RMAH will have to stay in SEA and not migrate to NA (which is what I assumed would be the case before hearing this). So SEA is limited to a customer base of SEA players only with regards to the RMAH. How limiting.... especially when you consider the size of the RMAH that's going to be in the US. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/376...704?page=19#368 I hope what bashiok means is about a character created on US server, but can still use RMAH in europe if that persons bnet is flagged as Euro. Hope he doesn't mean IF you create the character on Euro, only then can you use the euro RMAH. Then that would be a different and alarming thing. So using the euro example, this will work for us SEA players will it ? Hope so :/ This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Dec 27 2011, 09:10 AM |

people who gives so much f*** to RMAH are easy to stereotype devs (like blizz) for being all money no content milk milk milk evil shit game corporation.
do you play to earn money, or play the game because it is a game you like to play? ps: on a related note - achievement/trophy systems. |

QUOTE Posted by Bashiok #90 - 2011/12/20 @ 07:08:00 PM Characters are still region based. Just like Diablo II. You could log in to USWest, or USEast, or Europe, or Asia, but you had different characters on each. There's no possibility of trading between regions. QUOTE Question: Ok i found Bashiok answering to the specific question i too was wondering about.Please answer my question then! Whether I can play with friends from other regions! Like I live in SEA. I make a Character in SEA. Can I play with my friend who stays in EU and has an EU Character? (play with my friend = go on boss runs with him etc.) Posted by Bashiok #181 - 2011/12/21 @ 03:29:00 AM Answer: You can, but you'd need to log in to the EU region and create a character to begin playing with him, or he'd need to make one in your region. If you're on your character in SEA and he's on his in EU you'd be able to talk to each other using your BattleTag or Real ID, but that's it. You have to be on the same region to play together. QUOTE Question: 12/20/2011 08:16 PMPosted by Mith what if you create characters on a different region's servers? Do those characters have access to your home region's RMAH, or do those characters simply not have access to any RMAH? Posted by Bashiok on #223 - 2011/12/21 @ 05:21:00 AM Answer: Each region is compartmentalized. Character's on one region cannot play with characters on another region. Similarly, each region has its own gold and currency-based auction houses. Only characters on a region can use that region's auction houses (and of course a restriction from the currency-based if it's not your home region). Sounds to me as if you will not have RMAH at all if your not playing in a region your flagged for. correct me if i'm wrong on this :/ Sure i would prefer to use US RMAH but since that isn't allowed ok nevermind. But if it's true that i create a char on US region but cannot sell/buy from my own flagged SEA RMAH, that would suck SO DAMN HARD! This would effectively be a penalization for not playing in your own native region server :/ Sure you can create chars in both regions, but who would want to split their time between 2 regions ? Especially when you cannot share stash between characters located on different regions. Also the character you made cannot play on all regions, it's locked to just one. So why not just create char and play in SEA then ? Well firstly most of my friends are in the US region. And secondly, the player base in SEA hardly compares to US or Europe. US region is much more preferable to Europe because the latency for us is better. I hope i'm not the only one who is unhappy about this You can find more Q and A's from blue posts here http://www.diablofans.com/blizz-tracker/to...h-review-again/ This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Dec 27 2011, 02:37 PM |
