EPTIn the battle.net2.0 is a restaurant thread I found this:
Sharing food between you and your loved one is completly forbidden since there have been case where people would eat for free by doing this (no lan)
For me it is more like this:
You have 5 friends over and you want to order some take out. However, you're not allowed to call and order for all 6 of you. No, they all have to order their own food. During a separate call. On their own fucking phone, cause they can't use yours
I understand a lot of the choices Blizzard has made from a business standpoint. I even understand (if support is big word) that Blizzard wants to force everyone to use battle.net2.0.
But lets say my same 5 friends want to play some SC2 after ordering this aforementioned take-out. How the hell am I supposed to do this? They can bring their own PC but I do not have 5 internet connections ready. Has anybody found an easy solution to this?
If so, I could invent "The Drunk LAN" and I could be sure I would be playing against people who are equally drunk.
Also, how possible would authenticated LAN be? I mean, you make a local, offline party, you connect to battle.net though 1 PC, Blizzard authenticates all your licenses and you can play your own little LAN.
Possible?
