I’m on Americas region, and on Australian servers. I have been running with 30-60ms ping. So the Sydney server is definitely on the Americas region.
If you are connecting to Americas from Australia, and still can’t seem to get the Australian server:
- Ensure you are making your own online game, not joining a friend (who could be connected to a different server)
- Check Battle.net App, Game Settings, Diablo II Resurrected, Additional Command Line Arguments (should be unchecked)
- Make sure you are not running a VPN or similar
I note there has been a recent bug fix which might be related to why some ANZ players could not see the Sydney server as well:
“Fixed an issue preventing players from creating a game in their region after they joined a game in a different region”
