I read an article on here, or a topic, whatever, that said Australia/New Zealand got a server. So I bought the game and theres only 3 options on the battle.net launcher. Americas, Asia, Europe. Do I pick a server in game and will it be there? Or was it all a lie? I really need information on this
Q: When will local servers be available?
A: Local Diablo III game servers are available now, ahead of the release of upcoming expansion, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, which will go on sale in Australia and New Zealand on March 25, 2014.
It says they are available now..but I don't see the option for instillation.. I still didn't get an answer on picking a server in game or not. Do you just install based on one of the 3 locations in the list and you can only play there unless you reinstall or what?
Okay re-read it and the weird wording of it, it seems they're already out. The part you quoted seems to indicate that the local servers are active which means you'll be playing on your Australia/New Zealand server. They communicate with American servers so it should be located under Americas. It's basically like if I were to be on the east coast and log in, it would put me on a closer server than one on the west coast. If you read further into it working with American servers this seems to be the case. You should be auto defaulted into a closer Australian server if you're nearer to there.

ah thank you very much. I was worried for a bit there
NZ/Aus server automatically connects you if it detects you logging in from either of the places, if they were to put us into our own "pool" of users it would be fine for a while (mainly because we're so close to xpac release) but would die off very quickly so the way it's been done is fantastic.
If you invite somebody from the US they will connect to the Aus/NZ server...if someone from the US invites you to play you will again connect to the servers located in the US.
