    Hello ladies and gents,

    Just a quick question. D3 isn't following in the footsteps of SC2 and not allowing multi-realm access, right? A friend of mine told me it's following the same route as WC3 where as long as you own the game you can play and create characters on any realm (obviously not being able to transfer characters over). Can anyone here confirm that?

    Not entirely sure what you're asking here, could you clarify a bit? What is it you want to do?

    I don't live in EU. I have to buy a NA client. But all my friends are back in Ireland/EU.

    In Warcraft III, no matter what version/client you had you could play on a different Server (gateway). For example:

    Northrend = EU
    Azeroth = NA

    If I owned an EU client of WC3 I could simply go to 'Select Gateway' -> 'Azeroth' and boom I was on NA without having to buy mutiple copies of the game. SC2 doesn't have this option and with Blizzard's recent stance on BNet 2.0 I just want to make sure that D3 has this multi-gateway access.

    Correct but as far as I know its not working at launch. You will have to connect to the correct region. A system is being implemented into sc2 for the expansion to allow cross realm play, which diablo 3 is using as its all done through battletags now

    Uuuuuuuuuuuugh. What a pain in the arse. Guess I'll just stick with playing SC2 until they release the feature. (I can't DL the game due to a bandwidth cap on my internet where I live).

    It is meant to be fairly soon though not as long a wait as SC2 expansion. I think they just want the launch to be smooth as different regions are starting at different times and it would be a nightmare if the US region economy was like 14 hours behind because koreans joined the US servers. I would say within the month you will be able to play on any.

    Actually, yeah, it might be a good idea to get a feel for the game first by playing on NA. I haven't played BETA or read up on the game at all so that might actually be a good way to catch up on everything.

    PS: Is this a Blizzard "soon"? :P

    They're calling it Global Play, set to go live a few hours after D3 has launched in all regions.

    It's asking for trouble alright if there's a serious demand for patching after install (which I assume there will be).

    I caved last night and bought it while drunk. €60 down the toilet. Shouldn't be allowed have a visa card while drinking.

    The installer itself wont work until about 4pm tomorrow. The downloader should not be giving you errors. I'd say you need to find and delete the old installer, and try the new one again. You may need to clear your cache too.

    had to uninstall, reinstall and then download again to another folder, still wouldnt work then windows gave me and option to fix the error and then it worked finally! Now just got to wait till the game go's live.

    I see what you mean now, but i'm really not sure, If you're still stuck for an answer on this, ye could try diablofans.com failing that, blizzard themselves, though blizzard are quite slow at responding, understandably at this point.

    Oh, I actually really like this. Means I can focus on economy and grinding on NA and run through dungeons and challenges (I guess?) on EU with friends and ex-compatriates!

    Haha the diablo community team have actually been very good on stuff like this. They seem miles ahead of wow and sc2 teams. No false promises and good communication. @Bashiok on twitter is the community manager and he was the one who said about the launch regions. Everything he has said so far has been spot on!

    You wont, the installer unlocks at 4pm today. The servers you can play on however wont be open til 11pm tonight. That's the plan anyway, ..blizzard.. it'll be later than 11pm, almost certain of it.

    4pm today is fine, as i won't be home till 6pm anyway. Just as long as i can get it installed and up to date before the actual launch time.

    Assuming it arrives that is :mad:

    Blizzard are actually pretty good at getting the servers up in time. They usually just have problems with the actual amount of people trying to access the Servers at the same time -- ie; lagfest.

    That's exactly what i mean :)
    As someone mentioned before, the only one i ever got into at the precise time it launched was SC2. I'm a pessimist, i know.. but i am secretly hoping that I'll be in by 11.01pm tonight too :D
