I feel bad for those that have less than stellar internet access though. This doesn't really come as a surprise though; Blizzard wants to focus the whole community in one place, and this will also help combat piracy somewhat. Sure, there will be private servers, but as long as they shut down the more popular ones, private servers will be unattractive for most players. | ||

Or at worst online latency will be better than sc1 LAN latency. The amount of net coding blizzard has learned in the last 11 years makes me positive of this. | ||

As long as all of them logs into B-net the host is still the one everyone connects to in the game so the game would play just as if it were a Lan as long as you can set the latency to whatever you want. The difference is of course that piracy gets harder which is good. | ||

Personally I believe it probably will have something like LAN, you just need to log on first to verify that you have a legit copy. Seems like a logical thing for Blizzard to do atleast IMO. | ||

The only people this affects is those without an internet connection. | ||

I meant people that are still using dial-up, or for some reason sitting behind a firewall that can't access Bnet (even though you can bypass that if you know what you are doing). | ||

But in all seriousness, Blizzard isn't retarded, they are probably implementing a feature that is similar to steam, i.e. you connect first and then you can go into LAN. I am in no way a Blizzard fan boy (sc only game), but I have complete faith in them pulling through with a successful system (hmm, may be becoming a Blizz fanboy D: ). | ||
