You choose which region you want to play in.
By default, Asia players will default to US servers.

You can select other region to play in but:

1. Your characters will not be brought from other regions' server.
2. You may not be able to participate in RMAH (if you're playing in other region than your BNet address)


Most will want to decide which region they play in due to the following possible reasons:

1) Latency/lag
2) RMAH
3) Friends

Coz if they swap region after leveling alot, all would be lost (they're still kept on original server) when they go to new region D3 server.
The new region will not have any character (assuming first time playing there).

meant as i was unsure which region i would choose to be in.
thanks for the heads up

So for those of us buying US region and playing in US server, am I right in concluding that it is not really clear whether we will be able to access the US RMAH?

If my bnet account addres is Malaysia then i canot use rmah and canot lay at us server?

Correct, it is not 100% confirmed yet.
Still awaiting final confirmation by Blizzard on how they're handling this.
At the moment, it's suspected it will be based on the address listed in your BNet account.

i have 2 bnet account which untill now i still in doubt to register the cd key to.....once wrong then gg.com liao

You CAN play in US server regardless of what address your BNet acc is.

BUT you probably can't use the RMAH of Europe (if your BNet address is Malaysia).
If you want to use RMAH, you will need to play in ASIA or US server (check FAQ #4).


*DISCLAIMER: The above is subject to change with Blizzard's upcoming announcement on RMAH.

Added on April 26, 2012, 3:23 pmMy advice to you, don't link it first until there's official announcement by Blizzard. We're all waiting for it with bated breath

EDIT:
While we're on the topic, for those that have purchased D3 via Blizzard's Digital Download.



What I mean with the above is if your "CD-Key" is already bound to your Blizzard account you used to buy D3 with.

If your address is US, and you wanna play in Europe, RMAH may not be accessible to you.
Same goes for Malaysia address, and play in Europe server. (check FAQ #4).
(unless they change it).

So, feel free to PM me if you want to change your listing once the RMAH details are revealed


DOUBLE EDIT: (Sorry)
If your address is US and want to change to Malaysia (assuming you are Malaysian la~) you can do so but it's troublesome
as you need to contact Blizzard and provide proof to them.

If you are Malaysian and want to change your Bnet address to US, fat chance unless you can actually provide documentation to Blizz.

* Applies for other region's address changing request.

lemonT are u sure about the RMAH? I tot asia shares the RMAH with US.. ive never come across anybody talking bout asia RMAH before.. from what i gathered is the copy of diablo can be from anywhere.. but the RMAH ur assigned to is based on ur registered address.. for our case... our RMAH should be US one.. can anybody clarify on this? lol

Check out the new FAQ

hoi lemon r u sure?

all these while my understanding is we can access RMAH of US server.

not ngam meh?

Good source Y.K!
I did not see that blue post before.
But the main official sites have not been updated with anything yet as well regarding this.

I find it weird that they're creating another separate RMAH specifically to cater to AUD only.
EDIT: and to compound the curiousity, why isn't the main announcement changed?
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4175551303?page=1
if they wanted to let all SEA/Aussie ppl to know it's official, it'd be a on sticky IMHO.

I'd still advise to wait for them to update the final word on RMAH.

yalor they didn't answer anything to SEA player so far, our RMAH is still in grey area

but Aus RMAH is very attracting as there r no fix transaction fees.

anyway i posted question on that thread, hope get some defined answer la

uhm correction in your statement Y.K
It is not no fix transaction fee.

It is NO currency conversion fee.

If you use US RMAH (as an Aussie spending AUD)
When you convert AUD to US or convert back, there's a foreign currency conversion fee (depending on how you do it or keep it remain as USD balance (think PayPal), you may not be charged).




EXAMPLE:
If you charge your Blizzard balance with Malaysian credit card:

1) Transaction goes through as USD.
2) Credit card charges x% on top of that.
3) You pay the total amount in RM.


p/s: I'm not aware if there's any credit card that does not charge this fee.
