(Hopefully I'm putting this in the right place, if not then mods please delete/move it.)

Seeing as the Korean and Taiwan server are about to be merged. I was wondering how to buy a Taiwan copy (Since the Korean version requires a KSSN) hopefully the Taiwan version doesn't require a ssn.

I'm looking for whatever is the cheapest be it retail or digital. The only ways I have to pay are paypal and a few (US) credit cards. Please no shady PM's or whatnot I'm just looking for links to reputable looking websites/auction sites.

Hopefully this thread will also help out anybody else looking for a copy.

I've been wondering about this... How it works as in if I buy a Taiwan account, I can communicate and play all of the features on KR. It's not very clear at the moment which is why I'm withholding my money.

On the buysc2.tw website, to register you need to provide a TAIWAN ROC ID (身分証字號).

Mind explaining what a ROC ID is and that site looks pretty shady.

Wouldn't a SEA account be a Taiwan account?
(Not 100% sure)
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

Basically the same as a korean SSN, so it's not any easier than getting a korean account.

I'll wait for a moderator to give permission. I don't want to cross any lines. ^^

edit: in the meanwhile, a decent 30-45 minutes of google-fu is all it took. It's not cheap. Not at all.

Really? Do you really need a Taiwan ID number to play on the tw server? i know HK you can buy both the SEA and TW version of starcraft 2 in retail stores, and I know there is people in HK which play on the TW server.
Sure.
