Some blue posts already 'addressing' this. + Show Spoiler + You copied the first sentence, while the rest of the paragraph answers your question for the most part. StarCraft was made in the 28k-56k modem era and because the game is not that demanding, today (many years later) it is possible to play against American and (some) Korean players (still not Chinese for example, because of latency). Even in Warcraft III if you wanted to play against someone from the USA being in Europe it would mean ~250ms and possibly some spikes. In case of players from Asia or Australia for that matter it would be much higher and rarely stable. How many times have you played on the Lordaeron (US) or Kalimdor (Asia) gateway in e.g. WC3 or any newer games than BW for that matter? What was the percentage of players you could play against without lag issues? Would you like to jump from game to game constantly and leave, discouraged by huge latency? Also think about your opponents - wouldn't it affect them as well? I personally just cannot see players not getting frustrated by lags given how many discussions we have had that 125ms in-built latency is way too high. I don't even mention the matchmaking, because it would be unplayable and with proper filters it would match you against European players only anyway. Please reconsider and don't rage without thinking it over. I am sure it will be possible in the future, but for now “the technology's just not there yet”. + Show Spoiler + When you read the Frank Pearce interview you will notice that he didn't answer the cross-realm question the way you try to picture it. He was asked directly about a possibility of playing in different regions. We don't encourage it, it is not meant to be a "money grab" and it is only a possible workaround, as while we don't want you to do it, we also are not going to prevent it from happening. It's not like Frank Pearce said "yes, we give you this amazing opportunity and we have a special promotion for you: when you buy copies for all 3 regions, you will get a 2% discount". In our opinion it is not a good way of experiencing the game, but we are going to pass on your feedback. So we can't moderate are own ping issues in custom games, and they don't want us playing with friends in different regions, but they don't mind as long as we pay extra. Hopefully the response this thread refers to is more encouraging. | ||

So basically there is no point in me buying the game unless I want a soul-less ladder grind after I play the campaign. Its why I canceled my pre-order. I will still track the esports side of it because I love watching the emerging sc2 pros duke it out with good commentary. However I won't be purchasing the game unless chat and cross realms are put in. What I dont understand is why you can't have cross realm customs without ladder. They are worried that people wont want lag? Fine, disable the ladder if your not playing in the realm your copy of the game is for because your latency will tick off the other player, thats completely reasonable. However to not allow me to create and play custom games with my buddy in australia is frankly stupid. Yes we will have lag, we have lag in any game we choose to play together. We accept that because its fun to hang out and play together. | ||

 I'm convinced Blizzard will never back down on the LAN issue, but I believe in my heart of hearts that they can and will fix everything else. | ||

I did still believe, or want to believe that Blizzard was still that company that had a passion for good games and listened to its fans that I have known and loved since warcraft 2 but I hope that this is the sign that this faith was not misplaced. Although when it comes to fixes, I think people need to get their hopes straight, there are certain things that Blizzard for very specific reasons will not want to or even be able to fix, those would be LAN support and full cross server play. I wouldn't get hopes up for those. Not saying I wouldn't want them but its not going to happen I'm afraid. However things that they can address and I think this might be a good sign that they will is stuff like chat rooms, refining the ladder system, and while not explicitly implementing cross server play directly I think they may very well add functionality for us to get all clients for all regions without having to buy the game several times. If anything I hope they at the very least fix the chat rooms just so that I can get an apology from all those people who literally sent me borderline death threats through PM just for saying that I was confident that chat rooms would eventually be fixed. Exactly what I wanted to tell. I also believe that Blizzard should release a third party application to reduce the latency of specific custom games. | ||
