Blizz employees only are called FnF Close Beta
Selected people only are called Close Beta
Open to all are called Open Beta

You know what the irony is... the first Blizzard game I played (Warcraft 2), I bought from *Jack Sparrow*. If it wasn't for *Jack Sparrow* I wouldn't know what a great developer Blizzard is.

haha yeah... I am still pirating tho . And the only developer I am supporting is Blizzard I dont think developers are dead because of piracy, I think its because they sux at listing to their fans, and want to just make quick $$ with shitty content. CnC used to be superb, but the latest one just sux...

dude servers are just over the Johor straits (Singapore) ... unless of coz u choose to play on US servers, that is a diff story.

I m guessing you dont play SC2 , yeah i know there is no guarantee. But so far I have no issue with TM or Blizz servers, besides the underwater cables that broke a few years back, I have no issue with TM. But ever since Blizz put servers in SEA, I had no issue with it

Even servers in TW no issue. But servers over at US need to go through vpn for stable latency.

No corpse run in D3. Release and start from the beginning of the dungeon again. (Just like WoW dungeon/raid) Not sure about re spawns tho.

Currency exchange rates... eg.. I buy an item from SEA AH @ RM100. Transfer my char to US server, I resell it back at US AH @ USD 100. I will profit from the exchange rate. This instead lock the price to the local market. Easier to control.

waiting for price from Play-asia.

Amazon: USD (100+36) ~ RM 420
Heavyarm: RM 4XX (but full already) next batch is RM 800
ppbseller: RM440
Play-asia: USD100??? + free shipping I dun mind waiting 2~3 weeks for the package to arrive since every1 else PO will arrive a week or two later anyway, except maybe Amazon which might arrive on the release day itself.

yeah that is why the '???' just speculating

If its from Blizzard it will have instructions there to help you activate. See below pic sample from my SC2 Beta Invite.


If its is from scammer then no instructions...

NA version = North American version but for D3 there is no difference in SEA, NA, EU, TW, KR, China version.

If I am not mistaken battle.net info will sync their servers every day.

I had previously link my WoW TW to my battle.net acc. I did it through the SEA portal. I had problems login on to WoW that day. So I did some investigation. I found out that if I login to battle.net through the TW portal, my WoW is still not link to it. But it had info about my SC2 and WoW:US. Then I change the region back to SEA, I can see all my other games plus WoW:TW. Change the region to US and the same thing as the TW one.

After a day later I check back at the TW portal and indeed my WoW:TW is there, same as US. And I can play WoW:TW again

So do take not of this. When changing acc info.

Oh regarding your question, yes changing your address to a US address will make you able to trade with "Ang Mohs" provided you can prove you really live there.

See the vid below for more details

Hihihi slight correction, Real Money AH is region lock, Gold AH is not lock.
And one Bnet Acc, one D3. Unlike WoW or SC2 where you can have different version of the game link to one Bnet Acc.

... too long?
around 10mins is what you are looking for.

Ya no mention of the methods they are going to use to lock players down.

I am speculating that by default it will be by the IP address. Some thing similar happen to me with SC2 beta. Before they have the SEA region, they lock me down to the Korean serves. My SC2 beta was in Korean hahah. Made a complaint and I think that is why we have the SEA region now.
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?sid=5...cId=23766798105
Didnt get any reply from the Korean Blues so I emailed tech support directly. The reply said because of my IP address I was lockdown for the Korean beta test. But since I cant understand Korean the tech support guy, help me by flagging my bnet acc for SC2 Beta US

But this is just my speculation.

As for special cases, there is mention at the last part of the video that you need to prove that you are actually living in said country before they can change you region.

woo hoo. just got into the beta today! starting DL now.

hahaha
the beta email will be from"Diablo III US Beta" not "Blizzard Entertainment"

My 1st play through as monk
