You need to BUY another client to play in another region. That means to play in the Australiasia area u need to buy another copy of SC2! Iunno but that seems just like an excuse to make even more money. | ||

The lack of LAN and chatrooms have irked me to the point were I would consider the social system broken and in turn - consider the game broken and now the region lock. Whats next? I don't even what to answer that. Blizzard as of now has lost one purchase - not that it matters to them though. (Whatever, there are many other games in the sea) | ||

Edit: Not to say chat rooms aren't important, but you could live with that one coming down the line, region lock is diametrically opposed to the growth of eSports, which is why the news about HDH Invitational on SC2 homepage is so hilarious. Actually, I understand your point, but I'm not sure I agree. Chat is simply so crucial for the development of a long term community. | ||

There is no reason other then being greedy for forcing people to pay to play on other servers. | ||

I want clan chat and private chat rooms, yes, because that would make things like organizing scrims, inhouses and tourneys easier. Do I really need public chat rooms for bots to spam? I can do without that. Maybe you're on the fence about if/how much you want chat rooms, but a LOT of other people aren't, so they're upset about it. And the EULA thing doesn't seem out of the ordinary at all. There's a ton of outrageous things in most EULAs/agreements; companies tend to cover their bases. You are, unfortunately, correct. It doesn't mean people shouldn't be irritated by it. I, for one, am glad there are a few people left in this world that care at all about privacy. I don't know why people think Blizzard wants to take over the world or monitor your activity with SC2. If they really were such a company, they've already had the best venue in place to do that sort of thing: World of WarCraft. Nobody thinks Blizzard is trying to take over the world, but thanks for the hyperbole. I'm sure their motives are altruistic, but it doesn't matter. All real threats to privacy and freedom come in the guise of something beneficial. This is repeated throughout history and literature. If you don't understand that, then I respectfully submit to you that you don't understand where these threats truly lie. | ||

That certainly got a response out of EA quickly, and it would probably work against Blizzard as well. Everyone read this. | ||

When you try to appease casuals and serious players you end up pissing off both. I disagree. The features the competitive players are asking for are features that will not affect casual gamers in any way. Having chat rooms and cross server play in no way negatively affects a casual gamers play experience. | ||

This also means they gave the finger to all the people who asked to be able to create multiple IDs so that they can have different ladder rankings for different races (ex: platinum w/ zerg, silver w/ protoss, diamond w/ terran). Keeping this the way the beta was, you either smurf your account to play on even ground with your weakest race, or get raped over and over again trying to play your weakest race in the diamond league. | ||

The sad thing is that even with all this bullshit 95-99% of ppl here will still buy the game heck they might buy 2 copies to play on euro and usa server. Im fine with BW and i wanna Blizzard to fail hard with SC2. | ||

the problem is so many people are pretty much invested in SC1, they will just buy sc2 even if they disagree with 10-50% of the stuff blizzard has come up with to "make the community better" and "for the players" etc, even if most of the community don't agree with those changes | ||
