Just my observations, ironic such passionate BW players are going to expedite the death of their game in the foreign scene.
If you don't know how to use the "complicated features" you...don't use them? Not really a problem providing all basic/essential stuff is succinct and obvious.
Can't really see how the option to have matchmaking would ever hurt either.

Is there any chance of the Koreans switching over? I mean if the server could be populated with them then that would be great. Sure there's a chance of that, I'd definitely like the Koreans and Chinese to switch. We'll try get support for Korean language at the very least and hopefully Chinese too.

Please. DO NOT rush it!
The most important part of releasing your server is selling it first. Even if the server is already near finished and you don't have much else behind it. It would be smarter to do whatever you can to hype it up first. I really don't know how much you can do if you properly approach TL and maybe other sites, but it's better to launch with an amazing and well marketable project than launching it early.
If it takes until May next year I'm fine with it as long as it takes to make it a successful launch.

i agree, first impressions are everything, quality over time, no need to rush

Can somebody who is a little more tech savvy tell me this, but how exactly would you and is it possible to change the opening interface of the server? As in the look of the lobby room and etc. This is not necessarly related to the server and shouldn't even be on the priority list if it's even possible, but I was always curious how far you could push server capabilities being restricted by brood war itself.

It's entirely possible to modify the graphics of the battle.net and SC user interface, and is something we may possibly do. Some parts are simpler than others to edit (e.g. layout is more difficult than just reskinning an existing layout).

I've wanted the server to have custom graphics but then this would apply to all servers.
