So are we going to play on the same server or what? I know there are a decent amount of Europeans so I suppose we are going to be split up on servers. Can you still choose which server you want to be on for bnet?

Well, going from their past history, i'd say the chances for the servers being region locked is high. Same thing happened for Starcraft II (except for the NZ and Australian regions, which could download the North American launcher).

I still have hope that it won't be the case because there's many European VGChartzers that I'd like to play with. In Starcraft II being placed with people of your region made sense because of the matchmaking but that's not really an issue for Diablo games. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I also hope that they don't use region lock for Diablo III, as there are quite a few people from overseas that I'd like to play with as well, but i'd rather not expect much than to be dissapointed later on. I've had enough dissapointment with the lack of PVP from day one.
