Can I clarify? What actually defines what region your battlenet account is locked to, is what your postal address is at the moment you register your battlenet key on the battlenet account webpage. Is that accurate?

I ask because I'll be in Japan, with a US (I think) copy of SC2, intending to play in Australia (where I'll be moving to in a few months).

So do I just have to make sure I register my copy to an Australian address when I create the account online, and then make sure I have the right southeastasian or whatever they end up being base files in my client? Or will it not be that simple...?

I used this before to switch between EU and US, and just tried, since EU servers are still down. Works fine so far, just used the us base file, and could login np with my us account.

ok, apart from the fact that you cant actually play a single game atm on US, it seems to work - since it looks like everyone has that problem tho, I guess this method still works fine for switching servers using the same client install

No, some players can play. I can't, but TLO can, even tho he had the same problem as me for about an hour... Then it magically went away.

He uses a separate client tho. Has anyone who uses this been able to play? I doubt this is the cause but just curious.

EDIT: Not the cause, TLO tried to use my account and gets the same bug as me .

I'm not able to play, got both US and EU account. I use the batch file method to switch servers. I'm able to download maps though, just not start a game, either ladder nor custom game.

exactly this, for me too, for the last couple hours now - ofc also mixed in with "you are already in a queue"
I guess it's just waiting till they fix us, or bring up eu (and hope all works properly there) - at least the client switching method still works ok

EDIT: 100% confirm, method still works, just played a custom game and ranking / ladder matches on US server

Shit I downloaded the stuff and just used another friend key and now it will not let me login to my regular EU account... it says that SC2 is not associated with that account! If I login on battle.net in the browser SC2 beta is 'active until beta closes'. I really want to be able to play on Europe when it gets up again but it seems somehow playing on the American server rendered my EU account useless? Any help would be GREATLY apprecaited

hey guys,

Just activated an US account (with a spare key i had), but after launching the game with the switcher (and removed my old starcraft 2 folder in my docs) i get the error: "this battle.net account does not include an associated copy of starcraft 2"

Tried to also redl the client from us.battle.net but the file is not on their server anymore :-/
Does someone know a safe place to dl the us client ? (other than bnet)

Thanks a lot, work perfectly for me, however, I do not have a key linked to an Asian account

If anyone got one and do not use it, feel free to share ^^

I did give up for this game a long time ago, but thanks to those threads, I find out lots of tricks to be able to play in a decent way.

Keep up the good work, you have given me the view of a shiny light beyond the tunnel ...

I'm in Asia, and I downloaded the US client because I can't read Chinese. So when I log in to Bnet it says 0 games in your region, 0 games worldwide, 625,000 players on Bnet.

Does everyone says that? I'm just trying to figure out whether it auto chose the asian server for me (its still offline though right) automatically.

Like when I type battle.net i get the kr.battle.net. If not I better not log into with my Asian linked acct until the asian servers come back online.
