This seems a quite reasonable call.
Let's see what they do
Awesome news btw!

starcraft airplane! mad!!!!!!
WOW@ BLIZZARD !!!!
I havent been able to play the beta yet, but i spend 3 pay checks on a laptop to play sc2 in a month when (Z)July 27th comes around(betas' closed now).
Fortunately I dont lack opinions thanks to forums!!

Didnt Blizzard Dumb down starcraft 2's skill requirement(Maybe not i havent got to play)? I mean, In korea already, A pro couldnt (Z)Win more than 6 out of 10 bnet games in a row against public players.
They are pretty focused on advertising to the heart of starcraft which is korea, making sc2 free, but why take away the more advanced gaps which is being able to aim your workers to minerals during all the hurrass and defend micro is being thrown down.
I know personally I was (T)Only barely starting to (T)Control my units ..barely.. And i think thats changed to almost being Ai'd.
keep starcraft hard its why its fun. Maybe they will released an advanced korean addition with sloppy AI and less easy buttons.


"starcraftanonymous"
"hurrass"

I think you're getting trolled.

Better than us and North America, it would seem. It's funny that Tester says terran is overpowered, he plays protoss, and the general idea is that zerg isn't balanced. So much chaos!

Q: There was a brief disconnect screen showing up during the special event today. What was the problem? Were you playing on LAN?

A: We don't know why such an error occurred, and no there was no LAN mode.



I giggled. disconnects on a major event screen, I definately think Pro Edition or whatever will HAVE to be released, can't just be a rumour.

It sucks that with pc bangs/internet cafes you can't walk in and play like any other non-mmo. They should make a pc bang licensed version so people don't have to fork out $70 for an account to try the game or play with friends occasionally.

this confused me too, I had to look it up. I'll clarify: They're referring the amount PC bang owners have to pay to use the game, not the PC bang customers.

I found a chart that shows the cost: http://stoo.asiae.co.kr/news/stview.htm?idxno=2010040915471340771

The biggest package is 3,000 hours of SC II or WoW, at 671,000 won ($600 or so). That's about 203 won an hour. For comparison, PCBangs charge anywhere between 500 to 2,000 won an hour to customers.

Wait, so are they saying that we'll have to pay to make a Battle.net account?
This question stems from the comment about making a bnet account being "a minimal investment."

Oh God. I read that title and the first two words I noticed were "Free" and "July". I am an SC1 elitest I guess.

You guys have to remember (this only applies to people that live in the US and probably Europe) that we are only paying $60 (or $150 for the CE) for essentially a lifetime subscription. Koreans are essentially have to pay $15 a month (or whatever the equivalent is in Korea) to play the game (because it comes free with WoW). A couple of you have said you'd buy SC2 if you got it free with your WoW subscription but in reality you're already on the better end of the deal only having to pay $60 as a one-time fee.

Of course, unless I totally misunderstood what they were saying.

it's mentioned in the OP that there will be the standard one time fee, unlimited use option.
