<blue><font color="#FFFFFF">Any chance for the switching of regions? (like the switching of Realms in WOW?) I mean, there might be people migrating or going overseas to work/study and they want to switch their characters from lets say, the EU server, to the US server?</font><br>

Bashiok: No plans at this time. I would count it among ‘pretty unlikely’ due to the real currency ramifications. </blue>

<font color="#FFFFFF">I was under the impression that I would be able to switch my currency from USD to Peso’s whenever I pleased, being an American citizen/resident. But I wouldn’t be able to switch to a Euro AH unless I proved that I “moved” to Europe.</font><br>

<font color="#FFFFFF">What if you create characters on a different region’s servers? Do those characters have access to your home region’s RMAH, or do those characters simply not have access to any RMAH?</font><br>

Blizzard has implemented region locking in some of their games, most recently in Starcraft II.[http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1776390901] In that game, a player must register their game in one region, and thereafter can only play it in that region. It's possible for a player to play in two different regions, for instance in the US and Europe, but he must register two copies of the game, one in each region.
