Anyone up for spreading the word to try and convince all aussies to buy a USA client, and get communities and sites to only run events via the US server? Wow, this is actually a good idea. No, it's not a good idea but a terrible one, because if some of the Aussies decide that the lag is too much and want to go back to the server they are closest to, they can't. Also that doesn't solve the problem for other international players and for US/Euro players planning on playing in Asian tournaments. The best possible option is still to provide a choice everytime a player logs in.
Of course that is the best option, but that won't happen and this is the best we can hope for, it seems. We've played with people from the USA in every other incarnation of battle.net without issue and I am sure some 3rd-party programs will solve some of the latency issues.
Add to that, we don't get much better ping if at all on Asia as compared to USA...

Well put, Kennigit. Blizzard may just as well be very aware that it'd take 9 purchases to have cross realm capability.
Bli$$ard -.-

This is also a huge problem. Every Asia game/server/p2p sevice I've ever used has always had more lag than to the US.

/signed I am NZ and will be downloading the US version, still doesnt solve problem tho. If it isnt fixed at somr point I doubt I will be buying the expansions. Luckily for blizz at this point not much will stop me from buying the game.

What the hell does blizzard do during the day? The game is pretty much finished, so how the hell do they not have time to link regions and put in clans and have chat? Its not like this game took 5 years to make (oh wait). They have 2 months now before release. Lets hope they get off their asses and actually DO something during that time.
And it better not be twitter integration.

My buddy and I just got promoted to the "Horner Yankee" division!

There is no way that anyone should have to purchase 3 full games to completely unlock a single piece of software's full potential, whatsoever.
And it feels like Blizzard wants to pigeonhole us into doing just that, which is wrong, wrong, wrong.

all the interviews are mere lip service.. if you dont think these people know EXACTLY what they are doing then you are mistaken.

I don't think they do. I think when they were in the planning stages of B.net they were like "yeah yeah we'll have everyone on different regional servers with cool profiles and achievements like on WoW :D . And we'll support esports too!"

omfg signed 100 times over.

i guess we're going to have to rely on 3rd party apps, don't know how legal that is, but hey if i bought the game i should be able to play with whoever i want.

i completely agree, no cross realm just splits up the communities

If I could sign this twice, I would...

Well than why wouldn't they allow us to make different 'characters' on different 'regions' (servers would be the relevant counterpart to WoW,) on the same cd key.
I don't know Kennigit, I feel like Blizzard was very calculated with their decisions. It wouldn't have been oh-so hard to make a gateway system like they have in the past.
The more I think about it, the more it feels like Battlenet2.0 is the next step towards further segregation, as they feed us bullshit about how bnet2.0 is supposed to bring communities together.
There is a good quote from The Outlaw Josey Wales and it follows:
There's another old saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
and the more I read Blizzards pathetic press releases and interviews, the more I start to side with the quote man.
But damn, I hope you're right and they were just considering the novelty of the seperation.. but still.. I can't help but think otherwise.

no cross realm play is the stupidest idea they could have thought of.
but hey, the Language barrier (Aus/NZ on south Asia servers) isn't a real issue with Bnet 2.0, if the only way to chat to others other than real ID and Facebook is somewhere like TL.net!
|
/signed. If Blizz can do it, then do it. No brainer here. I kind of have to agree with others that this is just a steal your money scam. They're taking advantage of loyal fans  lame
|
I am in complete agreement with Kennigit. You are segregating the community Blizzard. Please allow us to play on different realms.

I Completly agree with Kennigit, no cross realm is the stupidest idea.......ever.......
