Blizzard's service sometimes pleasantly surprises players.

Many people know that changing the region in Battle.net is a very non-trivial process. Blizzard support requires additional proof of relocation, such as a photo of a utility bill.

However, the Noob Club community recently drew attention to stories of players from Russia and Belarus who were able to successfully change their Battle.net region without contacting support.

To do this, after moving to the desired country, the user needs to select the option "Change the country/region of the Battle.net account" (at this link on the support site) and confirm their choice. After that, the region should automatically change to the selected one.

Noob Club suggests that this "loophole" is the result of oversight by Blizzard and will soon be fixed. It is not yet known whether players who changed the region in this way have been banned.
