Well Jeez, Dee! What are you doing on a different server??? This is great. Has your little one been to the secret cow level yet?

The best thing to do would be just to check.I think it is limited by continents. I don't have solid proof of this, but I feel like I recall listening to the instance podcast and them talking about the continent servers being completely seperate. Such that you can't play together, talk together, or anything. They often ended up telling EU players that if they want to do anything with US players that they would have to by a US copy of the game. So I really really doubt that RealID works across those issues. If it did then people in SC2 could likely see friends from those servers and make games with them and I'm fairly sure that isn't happening right now. Not that I have SC2 myself to know that either.
Nothing I read talks about limitations of any kind, because it's based on an interface that like IMing except the IM is sent via Battle.net. And yet, as Shoju said, I seem to remember that it is limited by continental servers. I'll just PM Jane my email and we'll test this out for y'all.
Edit here:
Jane and I will continue continue as pen pals. RealID across continental servers did not work.
The Winner is Swirly, but I'm not sure exactly what it is he's won.
Oh I remember - Big Lurker Shout Out! Go, Swirly!
