Charles The majority of their "pipe" as you put it is almost certainly WoW players, and the fees are high enough that paying for server bandwidth I don't think should be a problem. Plus, text chat <<<<<<< 3D games in bandwidth use. | ||

They preach making a bnet experience that wants to connect you to the community but I only feel connected to other people when I see a "player found" as my next game comes up. For any new RTS player venturing into SC2 for the first time this is going to be hellish as it is next to impossible to make new friends. Blizzard feels it needs to makes things worse by introducing a convoluted friend system (that hopefully does not make it into release). | ||

They spend so many years to make this game perfect and now for small things that we need to able to enjoy 100% SC2 they just act like stupid assholes... But you're not excluding the possibility – you're just saying there are no current plans for it? There are no current plans for it, and if you're a European player and you've got friends that are in another region that you want to be able to connect with, we definitely want to support that. It might mean that you have to access it through the US client, but those facilities will definitely be available in terms of, if you want the US client, go to the US website, download the US client. WTF? Im a RTS player not a guy that pay to play every mouth and dreaming about that im a magician or a paladin... I would never pay for this. Blizzard you already have so much money dont destroy SC2 just because your greddy. 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? Yes we want! The customer have allways right! Are you coming back to London? I'm not sure where I'm going to be for the launch, yet. [Grins] People in England when you see this guy plz kick his ass! On a slightly skewed angle, as far as Blizzard's concerned, how important is Asia and the Asian market? For Blizzard, every market is important, where we're shipping and publishing. All of our fans are important to us worldwide. Fans are important??? Now i see that fans are not important for Blizzard just money. If that was true why you dont listen this comunity??? Is not so hard to that. I hope that the reall gamers that really wants to play and true love this game show Blizzard how much they are wrong. If not use facebook, wikipedia, youtube, twitter and lets to terrible terrible damage to Blizzard... | ||

Buy the game, and play the game, just actively do something to make sure battle.net 2.0 goes down the right track instead of it becoming a mess. | ||

You won't make a good community system by splitting it up into regions. Do you think facebook would be the force it is right now if there was a separate facebook for every country? Integrating an IRC network or a XMPP-based chat system is the simplest thing to do and it enables you to keep connected to your gaming friends ANYWHERE. There really is no good reason for doing this Blizz. I can understand removing LAN games for keeping control of the game and making piracy harder, but region-locking and no proper chat support just makes absolutely no sense. | ||

Don't see why we'd like chat channels? No potential for even semi-LAN type play? Listen to every voice my ass... My only hope is that its easy to get Lan Latency for it at least or something similar, though I think it'd be a ToS violation lololol =(( | ||
