Blizzard : Battle.net
What changes have been made to Battle.net since the release of Diablo II?
Blizzard Entertainment continues to make several enhancements to the Battle.net
infrastructure by increasing the number of servers and
providing additional bandwidth.
Beginning June 2000 and continuing through August 2001,
we have increased the number of game servers in our Asia gateway to 300, increased
the number of servers in the US gateways to 200 and raised the number of servers
to 100 in the Europe gateway.
We have also added two new Asian Realms to our Diablo II world as well as increased
the size of all Realms. The Battle.net team is extremely committed to providing
our users with the best possible game play experience. In order to provide this
experience, we have also expanded the number of personnel dedicated to Battle.net.
These changes were put into place in order to make your gaming experience enjoyable
while maintaining our dedication to keeping Battle.net a complimentary service.
Why are players from another country on my Diablo II Realm/Battle.net Server?
Anyone in any country is free to play on whatever Realm
or Battle.net Gateway they choose. This is not changing. The Diablo II
Realms and Battle.net Gateways are named to give people an idea which one is
best to pick based on their location. They are NOT named to suggest ownership
of the realms by geographical areas or to suggest who has to play where. Please
respect people's right to play on any server they choose.
Why do you allow people from all over the world to connect to any Diablo II
Realm or Battle.net Server?
We want to allow friends from around the world to be able to play together
on the same server. To do this, the servers must be open to anyone. We have
no intention of restricting access based on location.
Gateways
Gateways acts as portals through which players get onto
Battle.net. The four Gateways that Blizzard maintains are: US West, US East,
Asia or Europe. For the best play experience, you should select the Gateways
that is closest to your geographic location.
You cannot talk to or play games with players on other Gateways. To play together
you must select the same Gateway.
