Diablo III (3) Region*: Blizzard has indicated that Diablo III game will NOT be region locked for Battle.net online play.

One element of Diablo III that is region locked is the auction house. Players can post or buy items in auction in each region in which they have a character, but characters and items can not be transferred between regions, and the Real Money Auction House account will be tied to each region. So if a player sells items for real money on the European Realm, they could not transfer that money to their US Region account. You are restricted to a specific region's Real Money Auction House (RMAH) based on your address when you activate your game. However you may change the region providing proof of residence

Diablo III for Mac is only available in English, French, and German.

Diablo III is being developed as the definitive action role-playing game, and a true continuation of the Diablo series. Players will create a hero from one of five distinct classes, such as barbarian or witch doctor, each equipped with an array of spells and abilities. As these heroes adventure through rich and varied settings, unraveling an epic storyline and engaging in combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, they'll grow in experience and ability and acquire items of incredible power.

The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced Hell's armies - and were fortunate enough to survive - went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.

Diablo III will be a fitting sequel to Diablo II, with the easy interface, fast-paced action, and visceral gameplay that Diablo players have come to expect and enjoy. It will also include many new features that will take the Diablo action-RPG experience to the next level.
