To be fair with Blizzard, they DO allow you to create characters in any of the 3 zones (Europe/America/Asia) with any valid account, which is an improvement over their previous games. But true, you'd better give some thoughts about which one you really want to use before starting the game. Which is a shame when half of your friends are playing in Europe, the other in Americas, and you yourself live in Japan.
Being in the field of online games and payments, I think the main reason they don't allow you to transfer characters between zones is the Real Money Auction House (for legal reasons and not to allow inter-zone speculation).
- Dylan16807 14y agoFor Diablo they do. For starcraft if you want to play with someone on a different continent... well it's supposedly coming soon. I mean the game's only been out for over two years, can't expect them to have the multiplayer working.
