In addition, Blizzard has also revealed details about Diablo III's Global Play option, which will allow players to play the game in regions outside of their own with a few restrictions. Through the feature, players will create characters in their home region and can use the in-game menu to switch to other regions. Characters, items and friend lists do not transfer to other regions, so you'll be starting fresh. Find out more in Diablo III's Global Play FAQ.
