Blizzard’s VP of product development, Frank Pearce, has confirmed that there are no current plans to let EU players play against NA players unless they buy the game in that region as well.
“It’ll be structured very similarly to World of Warcraft, where you’ve got the European region and players matched against the other players within their region,” Pearce told IncGamers.
Pearce went on to stress that it’s not all doom and gloom for intercontinental friends and “if you’re a European player and you’ve got friends that are in another region that you want to be able to connect with, we definitely want to support that,” although “it might mean that you have to access it through the US client.”
