Announcement page and FAQ

Probably the most important point for many Russian fans is the answer to the question of whether there are regional restrictions, judging by the FAQ - no: “All geographical regions will be able to participate in the beta testing of Diablo III. However, the server hardware for testing is planned to be installed in stages in order to increase the efficiency of testing and, ultimately, speed up the release of the game. The first phase of beta testing will take place in North America. This means that participants from other regions may experience a signal delay. When the new equipment is optimized, we plan to install it in other regions. This will significantly improve the connection quality when connecting to a beta client from different regions. ”
