IRC has existed pretty much since the internet and it's very simple to implement. Cross realm play is "something simple that could be done in so little time". You can even do it yourself by just replacing one small file, totally not a problem for them to add it at all. LAN play is "something simple that could be done in so little time". They already have online play, LAN is not somehow more complex or an issue at all. Are you even serious with your argument? Considering the facts it looks more like sarcasm, despite not being intended as such. No because your wrong on all your points. IRC do exist but chat channels and IRC are not the same thing at all, Firstly the base of player is 1000000X bigger than any IRC on the internet. Cross realm play is a difficult task because yes you can do it, but you experiance lag which has to be fixed. Lan play is not included cause they dont want their game to be hacked. | ||

It is you who is wrong on all your points. LAN - afaik Blizzard already had it in earlier builds when showing the game to the people they invited to their HQ. Cross-server play - it's a simple matter of adding that file to each client and allowing us to make one account per server. The latency is already playable, stop making things up. Chat - some people created chat lobbies in the editor. It wouldn't take Blizzard more than a couple of days to devise something much better. | ||

You sort of opted out of the whole deal if you arent planning on buying it, and I`m fairly sure most people do not care about the fact that you will not buy the game. They post it on the SC2 part of the forum because they're talking about SC2. Why should the fact that you don't like the game and plan to boycott it in order to express your distaste mean that you shouldn't be entitled to express that opinion? Whether you buy the game or not, the truth is nobody else cares either way so I don't see why you would say this only to the people stating that they will not buy it. You could just as easily respond to someone saying "I can't wait to buy this on release day." or "I pre-ordered it already." saying, "Shut up, nobody cares."...

Sure, each region will certainly be large enough to satisfy variety in a ladder situation where you're randomly matched up against other people, but for the sake of preserving the international Starcraft community, cross-region play is pretty important. It wouldn't kill Blizzard to just allow us the option to choose a specific gateway upon log-in and having "recommended" ones, but they're not even doing that. Personally, if I decide to buy this game, I would like the option to play with anyone I want in the world (including international friends) without having to buy multiple copies of it... | ||

The lack of LAN is to keep people on bnet and prevent KESPA and iccup from running their own shit. Though iccup was already run on a custom server, it's only a matter of time until the same thing happens.

Seriously, if you're just going to spout a bunch of ininformed bullshit, then don't post. Chat channels are EXTREMELY easy to implement. Cross realm play is ALREADY POSSIBLE. How do you think tourneys with players from different regions were conducted? Not to mention that 12 year old game you probably have never heard of - it's called Starcraft. The lack of LAN play will not stop SC2 from being pirated to hell and back at all. Case in point: EVERY FREAKING GAME EVER CREATED. | ||

Or maybe you are simply ignorant about all the players from Australia who wont be able to understand what the rest of their servers player base are talking about? What about the people who have friends in America? or wish to study in europe? should they not be given the option to change realm? these issues may seem small but if wc3 and sc broodwar, has it why should sc2 be different? | ||

From MMO's to FPS (Hell, even Street Fighter), almost every new online game has and allows for an international community. Even the first Starcraft and Warcraft 3 after that supported this. It's not just BW players that have connections all over the world. A large number of people coming from all games do. It makes no sense in this day and age to have these kinds of restrictions. Also keep in mind that while each region may initially be large enough in the first few years, as time goes on, a fractured community will be very bad. Imagine if Brood War had the kind of regional disconnect that Starcraft 2 is going to have, do you seriously think it would have survived as long as it did outside of Korea? The TL.net community is international and it's honestly barely enough to keep the entire foreign Starcraft scene alive... Starcraft 2 is a decent game from what I've seen and played. I wouldn't go so far as to consider it one of the best games in the past decade, though. I certainly don't feel it will have anywhere near the longevity of Brood War and splitting the community apart will only speed up its downfall. For me, I would rather not spend my money to buy the game than go ahead and be required to buy it 3 times in order to be able to play with all of my friends (the people I actually want to play with). Granted, I'm not an ultra competitive person and I don't care about the ladder at all. I'm just someone that plays games for entertainment and if one game is too much of a hassle, it's easy enough to find another game that will give me just as much entertainment and actually allow me to play with all the people I want to. That's the way I view it, anyway. And besides, Starcraft 2 is honestly not THAT good... I really don't think we're going to look back on this game in 10 years and rank it in the top 50 PC games of all time. I could be wrong about that, but from what I've seen, I just wasn't tremendously impressed. | ||
