This seems like such a great patch so far. It sounded as if WGT's ladder was integrated into Europe's ladder, but I checked and it doesn't work that way. I was hoping if you played WGT ladder, you'd get points and the ladder screen would update, like the old days. If you click Ladder, it just takes you to a page where you can see WGT's ladder. For the other servers, seems like they've given up ladder completely.
u know what it's time to do now right? go to the hacker forums and laugh at the maphackers winging and winging that they need maphack desperately please make one!! hahah i love it
the only thing i think is missing in this patch would be a dl indicator (as in pp)
The ladder button takes you to Battle.net site because it's not ready yet. You can find everything @ WGTour, the ladder will start in 2-3 weeks time, once the testing phase is over.
i think between now and the time a new cd crack comes out, the bnet population will be at 30% of normal. for you people who have your cds, enjoy your lack of "too many server requests" while you can.

all i can see they changed is the space between 12 ramp and 3 cliff, but the 12 nat is still way too far from the ramp, so zerg still has to 3 hatch to get nat running somewhat safely.

I had no problems hosting games on PGT maps. I'm not sure what's causing the problem for others.
Edit: I can't read apparently. Others are correct, you can't join them, but you can host them just fine. I suspect it's all protected maps based on some quick UMS testing.

Yes, this is it actually. On pgtour, you do not require a valid cd-key since it's hosted on bnet-x, whereas on wgtour you still need to get on europe, which needs a key. So even though pgtour was bigger and plainly a better laddder and wgtour was dead, they chose to side with wgtour because of it, unfortunate for pgt.
And now, once blizzard can finally remove money maps in all of their vicious incarnations, starcraft will grow!

BNet-X is already patched to 1.14. We're just waiting for PP to be fixed so that maps can be played again. =]

c'mon man, i figured it out almost instantly. first patch message?
Forcing people out of options is no way to run things. I would think Blizzard would know this. I suspect that your monopoly idea is wrong and either this:
On July 31 2006 18:33 ManaBlue wrote: That's pretty lame. Why would they cut out PGT maps?
Probably unintended, and caused by the protection PGT has on their maps.
On another note, why does this have to come out while I'm without a computer I can use to play it on!?!?!
or this:

I certainly agree with Manablue. If Blizzard wanted to run PGT out of the ladder scene they wouldn't need to do something like this. They could institute much more effective methods.

They only have authority over United States on hosting servers, because it's in Canada well ya.. Blizzard can't do too much to it in the legal matter unless PGTour starts forcing people to pay to play.

hate to break it to you but sc isn't going to be growing any time soon, especially if money maps are removed like you say. But that's completely off topic. It's nice blizz made this and is at least showing they want to fix all the bugs still.
Last time I looked, BnetD was shut down. Regardless of it being in Canada or the USA doesn't matter.

The WGT thing is gonna be major. I think alot more people will be going to WGT now. Did you notice that on their battle.net website it talks about how they might partner with other ladders in the future too on other bnet servers? Perhaps PGT will join the party too later
Speaker's name in their colour, I gotta see what that looks like lol.
Big thumbs up for bug and exploit fixes. I think we can agree that despite the disadvantages of this new patch like people having problems etc etc the benfits totally outway them

You know there will be working hacks within 31.4 hours of any new patch. Then another 159 days for it to be spread to hack users. Also 2.65 days until PGT is functional, etc etc.

Looks like most of our Starcraft community are conservative and nostalgic ppl -_-;; With so many complaints about just a small new logo (which actually OWNS the old one), I wonder how Starcraft 2 could ever be accepted.
Relax people. For anyone who likes the old version of the wraith probably also uses classsic windows setup instead of XP setup which is what the new wraith icon is for.
Choice is good, but is it just an illusion? Indeed it is.
Old wraith icon = classic windows new wraith = XP windows
PS- I like the old version wraith colored green or yellow with those sc icons i found somewhere a long time ago on some website -_^
