Lets hope it is possible to create private servers... please tell me I am in the dark on this and it is already being done :d I'd be so happy I might fistpump..

Hmmmmm well I'm glad I didn't order yet, but this pretty much means I won't be. If bnet 2.0 is going to suck that much I'm not going to bother playing SC2 until either someone makes a server outside of B.Net or the people working on B.Net gets fired and they hire people with brains.

I was so excited to get beta. Then patch 13 rolled in. Hooray Blizzard, taking a leaf from Activision? Fix your crap, and stop thinking just because you make a lot of cash in WOW, that you can just release a shoddy product everyone has ill will towards.

My god. Watch the video part of the interview from the link. 2:05 minute mark is where he mentions lack of chat room support.

He can barely look straight at the camera. He looks ashamed at what he is saying, and damn well should be. This is pathetic.

So imagine that Jaedong vs Flash was about to happen in Starcraft 2.
Everybody all excited and looking forward to grandmasters playing!

But then!

At the very least if they're not going to give us LAN they should at least give us an interface that's not a maze of menus to play with our friends.

Seriously it's a like a labyrinth right now. Incredibly frustrating. Incredibly stupid. Blizzard you are better than this.

As soon as a private server gets big enough for a decent amount of people to know about it, Blizzard will shut it down I'm sure.

Stuff like this seriously makes me reconsider buying. I haven't preordered yet so this is just... ugghh.

No LAN, no cross server playing, no CHAT rooms?

I mean I guess most friends will use outside stuff like ventrilo or something to organize games but seriously? Organizing stuff is usually done in chat rooms....

And it's not exactly like chat rooms are hard to implement either.

As far as I know blizzard doesn't have complete world domination just yet.

Why did people think things would change? This is the route all games are going now, competitive, or otherwise.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

True, they have not taken control of China yet. (Remember how China ripped off WOW and made their own copy?)

Well, this is mostly our fault, not theirs.

Whenever a thread regarding the game content that's been chopped out, or their legal actions came up, people would just play the apologist and deify blizzard.

Is it really so surprising that they think they can shove shit down our throat and we'd like it if they've been doing the exact same thing to us for months now?
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

It's real? I seriously stopped reading halfway through and scrolled down to look for a "well, I just made this up, but this is basically what they are saying".

Is Frank Pearce drunk? What on EARTH would posess him to answer stuff like this in such a flippant manner???

Another thing I thought you'd promised was chat rooms within Battle.net...

Nope. No plans for specific chat rooms at this time. You'll be able to open up chats direct with your friends, and when we add clans and groups there'll be chats for your clans and groups, but no specific plans for chat rooms right now. Do you really want chat rooms?

Loads of people within the community are wanting Looking For Group chat rooms, and that sort of thing.

Well, if we've done our job right in terms of the matchmaking service, then hopefully they won't feel like they'll need it for that service.

I.hate.you.so.much.

100% agreed. That was the worst interview ever. They sounded as though they couldn't care less what the community wanted. I regret Starcraft 2 ever being made by blizzard activision. An open source sc2 would have probably been way better than this.
