and then they would be filled with games with terrible pings;; dimming down the experience not only for Americans but for everyone else. think about WC3 now; most people play on BA now am i right? - this may be due to various issues;; perhaps people being too cheap to buy WC3 (cheapskates) . Or there is a community of Aussies on there. I think to a degree you would agree with me that; WC3 finding a game with good latency was a bit of a challenge but rewarding when you did find one. That as it may be; is only my experience of WC3 servers; which may be totally different to yours; but in respect ; i do see the advantage of server change; but also server segregation. But overall; i don't think it will prevent you from buying SC2 and having a good experience. | ||

TRUST ME, we NEEED the good ping, or we have NO chance to penetrate the top pro scene >< They will have better ping than AUS, server is not going to be anywhere near AUS. Ping will be worse, and will be playing against mostly asians. And most asians have a natural +400APM in the DNA. | ||

In BW were you able to log onto 2 different servers at the same time with the same key, or was the authentication global? | ||

I am sure I can get them all to migrate if I want too. what about when your super best friend johnny goes out and buys the game of his own accord because everyones been talking about it, but now hes stuck alone on the dead empty oceanic server (lets be totally honest its gonna be tiny, especially after a year when people are quitting because everyone else is quitting) | ||

Surely there's going to be a lot of decent players from the SE asian countries? And the new ladder system makes it easy to get decent games against competent players without having to speak their language. In BW were you able to log onto 2 different servers at the same time with the same key, or was the authentication global? There just aren't that many players in Australia and SE Asia in general. That's why most games die (especially the competitive scenes) here. That is my main concern. I dread clicking "find match" and having to wait 15-30 minutes to find a single game because no one is playing. On iccup for example, in the last 50 or so games that I played only one was against an australian.

yes we have a much less talented player pool, much less players and varierty of strats and ALOT less custom maps (dota etc) creations to play but that means we get close to 0 lag, and for the top national players but not top international players, alot higher chance to do well in tournaments since only players in our region can play. im pretty sure indonesia and phillipines have very few pple who will play or pay that much (it retails at a more exp rate of $80US for standard copy - probably cause of the server setup costs) so that just leaves top players from australia/nz,singapore and malaysia. im also happy that chn and kr have their own sever so theres much less problem with communication. | ||

To add things up, I've been playing in the USWest server ever since Diablo II, and there's certainly almost no lag for me in those servers. A money grubbing move by Blizzard from what I see. Disappointing, very disappointing. EDIT: One more thing to add, one reason why I loved the USWest server was because there was a larger pool of custom games played. Looks like I won't be getting to play those games now that this has happened. | ||
