Blizzard earlier just revealed a much-welcomed change to its own game launcher, Battle.net. From now on, if players want to chat with friends from the other side of the planet, they no longer need to switch regions. The friends lists from different territories will be merged into one, announced Blizzard in a post.
"As Global Battle.net rolls out, players around the world will be able to come together all across the larger Blizzard ecosystem without any hurdles for the first time ever," says Diana Hubbard, Platform Design Manager. "In doing so, they will be able to effortlessly expand their friendships, groups, and communities—paving the way for forging new bonds over our present and future epic gaming experiences. This is just the first step, and it will only get better from here."
Unfortunately, as usual, the players from China won't be able to enjoy this feature.
