https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/topic/20759588272Blizzard are closing asia 2 and 3, merging them into asia 1, coming next reset 12th dec.
Most of the updates effects asia alone, but theres atleast one change coming for all realms:

• Character limits will be upgraded for all Gateways from 8 to 18 characters
That's nice IMO. But more interestingly, perhaps we will see a merge of USEast/USWest? Would you guys want that yay/nay?
Less likely would be an east/europe merge. Personally I'd love that...
Other notable stuff: Blizzard are adding ways of namechanging, a necessity for cross-named chars in asia 1, 2 and 3. Are we seeing an infrastructure they will add to the game? I bet they are, in future

I think this past month will further up speculation that a D2 Remake is in the works... theyre putting alot more effort into the game than what is reasonable otherwise, in my personal opinion.
