All European countries will be able to play at launch.
The eventual choice of which server you play on will be down to changing your payment method – not importing a box from another country. Essentially I got the impression it would mean somehow switching payment method to Euros / dollars depending what server you wish to switch to.
The release date for the US is not confirmed, however the Producer mentioned the Euro launch would be out likely before Christmas, and that the US release would be a couple of months before that…

A little bit of info was missed, I assume Georg read the forums instead of the actual article. From what is said, Euros can play by pre-ordering the US version (the box will actually be the same, except for language versions).
You can also play cross server, Blizzard has confirmed that this will either be by billing adress or by currency paid. Now, paying with a creditcard only needs number and expiration date. Not even the Cardholder name has to be real, so putting in a fake billing adress is not much of a problem.
Anyway, just wanted to shed my 2 cents. Same server playing will not be a problem, if you want to, that's kinda the essence :)
