Cross server play is implemented from the start, only thing it would affect is you not being able to access the NA RMAH and vice versa when they patch it in for KR servers.
Assuming he bought a North American copy of the game he should still be able to use the NA RMAH even while in Korea. But knows for sure.

Erm, seriously just delay/cancel the Korean release.
The hordes of angry fans burning down GRB buildings in Korea should teach them a lesson for next time;)

From what I've read it seems you will only be able to access the RMAH in your region.

Exactly. Your region is defined by what copy of the game you bought. Not what IP you are connecting from.

Do you have any confirmation on that? From what I remember they stated they didn't even want to say how they were defining each region to prefend abuse. I always assumed it would be by the IP, like the store, or even something more complicated.
Edit: In their words:

How does one get assigned a home region?
That's not something we're ready to discuss, and obviously we'll need to choose the information we do give carefully. Circumventing this wouldn't just be a 'fun trick on Blizzard' it would very possibly be a violation of serious trade laws, so we have to take it seriously.

There are no strong information on how your RMAH is determined. I'm not sure it depends on where you buy your box... how would WoW annual pass be processed ? If it is based on the version of wow you are playing this is gonna make a ton of issues (are there smaller distinction like UK pounds ?).
The whole process can be more about a subscription method, when you buy diablo 3 you then set up your account/profile for it and then you put a country. Blizzard can then make you accept agreement for what you are sending are right informations and they are not responsible if your country doesn't accept the RMAH (and you put another country), Then you are locked and if you want to switch you must send a proof or something.
They could go by IP, people who use proxy to go around that are a very minor population (few know how and oinly some of them would want to do it).
Or they could do a liitle of this and that and make it complex.

Well I did say "but [who] knows for sure."
Well i tried to anyway. I was just running off the assumption, I mean every other game in the past pretty much works like that.
|
By the time it's ready, this game will be so polished you'll be able to see your reflection on the digital copy!
|
Chronoboost D3! Seriously though, I'd rather they delay the product to get everything worked out so they release a quality game. Unless it ends up like Duke Nukem Forever, in which case the whole world would revolt. No pressure!

Now that the Korea problem seems to be solved, I would bet for a mid march release. Q1 2012 baby !

I really want to play Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 is making me hostile because it's so damn hard.
I saw some bestbuy sign some weeks ago saying that the game will be released 1st February, does someone knows the real date or it's not posted yet?

We don't know for sure until Blizzard comes with a official announcement.

Supposedly, Jay Wilson is going to be posting a status update sometime today. Also...there's a new patch they are pushing out & wiping all current beta characters.
So today might be a good day information wise, once the official update shows up... and the data miners get a look at what changes were made behind the scenes after the patch hits.

That old fart should hurry up with the article. Many Diablo addicts can't wait any longer!

never get your hopes up
@Bashiok Bashiok
@CDNSyntheSis We will absolutely not be announcing a release date tomorrow. Spread the word.

Here's a post I made on B.net regarding the recent Wilson post. Clearly the level of maturity is quite lower than over here.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who realised that Blizzard has really big shoes to fill by creating Diablo 3. (My bet is these shoes are called Massive demonic slippers of Armageddon  )
With today's post by Mr. Wilson, I think the process behind the game creation is clear. I admit I hopped on the conspiracy theorist wagon with the RMAH issue but we should really just listen to the blue posts and calm down.
So, what happened?
Back in November, the game was pretty good, good enough for a release but with all the pressure from everyone, especially from us, the customers, that they decided to bump it up another notch. I have played every Blizzard game since Warcraft 1 (I was 10, I'm 24 as of last Nov.) and I swear they have never released a bad or even an average game. Blizzard games kick !@#! (This is not open for debate).
So I bet that when Nov. 2011 came around, JUST like they said, they weren't satisfied that Diablo 3 would boot as many rear ends as they wanted to, and the delay was announced. They tried a barrowful of different and new ideas, tested them in the Beta and the general reaction was ''hmm, that's kinda cool''.
Personally, I am Very happy with the new system changes.
...Except the ID scrolls, I really liked the feeling of unwrapping my present
The Cauldron and the Cube, I'm glad they are out because I LOVED returning to town to sell my newest ''harvest''. Doing it on the run is convenient but I think it's important to have these little pauses between the intense combat. Coming back to town is like taking a breath of fresh air. These dungeons can NOT smell good.
The stone of recall, I'm glad it's called Town Portal once again.
As for the stats, I'm also happy they have their old names back.
===============================================
And just so you know how much I want this game to come out, I lost faith for a moment that my favorite game company wasn't leading us on.
But more importantly, me and my friend have reserved 2 days of vacation, to be plugged into an epic LAN weekend.
We have already discussed the menu for those 4 days, we discussed the living room arrangements (I'm brigning over my 47'' tv to his house, he has a 50''). He's installing his surround sound.
We even have a discusting alcohol shot (A prairie chicken) planned out that will be taken by the both of us every time someone dies. Hardcore is cool but restarting a new character after 2 days of constant playing sucks too much, so we got the next best thing.
Yes, we're insane, and we wanna play some Diablo 3 ASAP!
Keep up the good work Blizzard!

Medrea, I hope the recently announced core changes convinced you that the D3 release delay is not related to the korean RMAH issue.
