So i played 7 hours with the guest pass waiting for my copy to arrive, i noticed in another thread you just need to log in once to bnet and then you can play the campaign offline. So now my 7 hours are gone but i can at the log in screen choose play as guest, and then just play the campaign anyway? Is this a major flaw from blizzard or am i missing something obvious here? like a limited amount of gametime for guests?

I'd like to know as well. O_O

In addition, since I have both the guest pass and then game coming soon, If i start the campaign as a guest now, can I continue on my actual account later?

if you play offline now and want to transfer your saved files, you're going to have to transfer the files in your Documents/Starcraft II/Accounts folder from the guest over to your actual B.net account.

EDIT: FYI, you won't automatically unlock achievements this way, you'll have to redo the things to get the achievements while logged on to B.Net

AFAIK, the Taiwan version of SC2's guest pass last until end of August or 7 hrs of play time, whichever happens LATER.

perhaps they have a special offer for parts of EU as well?

Well if this is true then all you need is a client right? So all you need to do is give him your install disk or something.

You're playing as a guest so no.

so does it work if you dont ever login to bnet at all? is the 'play as guest' button there even immediately after installation, or does it only appear after you have logged in with some valid account at least once?
i already logged in with my account and i wasn't paying attention if the button was there before, so i can't check myself

Yea you can beat the entire game, you just don't any achievements for it. So you can brag about beating campaign on brutal, but there won't be any proof

Yes , after installation , you can go straight to guest and play the whole campaign without logging in

Since the achievement server is down every other minute that's barely a disadvantage xD

I thought to play Single player, you have to log into b.net briefly, after which you can be offline.
