Overall, this is great news as it resembles what the community wants. But the bold part makes me worry that these "private chat rooms" will be invite-only rooms for people only on your friends list. What people want (or at least what I want), is a private chat in which anyone can join by typing in a specific name, i.e. "everyone meet in channel XYZ and we will organize that rematch." This sounds like you are still going to have to invite these guys to your friends list and invite them individually to a private chat to accomplish this. Still better than nothing, but also still suboptimal. = /
- The system will be based around groups, where you will be able to join public channels that are based around your interests, which can be virtually anything

You get the best of two worlds. The public ones for just about anything and the private ones for friends and clans only.. Possibly even tournies if its join by password and not invite
Edit: Oh sorry just reread and get what you mean now.. my bad xD

I think previously it implied something like "clan chat channels", which would be the groups you're talking about.
Now it also mentions "public" channels where you can just join without joining the clan.

Yes, this is correct. However, the Frank Pierce interview came out after that previous "confirmation." When not given any specific reply by Blizzard, when two conflicting points of view go head-to-head, the most recent is usually the most credible. In any case, the fact that they got into that situation in the first place is bad PR, and the fact they failed to address it for several months is disastrous PR.

Greeeaat. Now, global rankings pleeeease.

Deffo a step in the right direction. I hope this patch wont take too long after release though. We need /f add and I cant imagine that working without some kind of basic chat/consol frame.

I'm just mind-boggled. Chat channels have been a feature of blizzard games since Diablo. More than ten years later, its most awaited game ever can't get them ready for launch.
I'd give my left hand to know what kind of gigantic clusterfuck is going on inside that company.

The blue post does say that but I fail to see how that's a relevant response to my post?
Automatic does not have to be the same as random. It means that it's added automatically as in: not manually. Could still be in order of appearance.
You won't be able to see it everywhere, but you will be able to see it somewhere or it has no added non-uniqueness function. So still fun to check how popular your nickname is...

A CM replied to the interview and restated their plans for channels again. Bringing up PR just clouds the issue and the facts.

why in the world would you want that?

I was like -___- but then I read this post and now I'm like ^_^
Blizzard won't let us down, but it's sad that it should take this long to get an answer out to the community.
I'm still hoping for a LAN option, but it's not a "must have".

I could hope to get 121212 as my identifier.. Would be extremely cool ^^. But I will have to pray for 121.. Still great but not so much.

about the number :
The number will be automatically generated. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to see this code everywhere, but only on certain screens. (i.e. it won't get in the way and it won't ruin the "look" of your nickname, don't worry! )

Got damnit, I love you guys. We fucking did it!!!
I think I've heard everything I wanted: Cross Realm (no more begging artosis to stream asia server on twitter), chat channels (Been playing LoL and damn chat channels own), Lan (no lag at lan tournaments sick) and a modified identifier system (The end of the beta system sucked ass; but there's nothing like multiple accounts with unique nicknames we'll see what happens at launch). I'm not sure how this works maybe: G4MR.525 or some shit. Weird.
Good shit TeamLiquid and the rest of the starcraft community :D

1.Global Playing [On it's way?]
2. LAN [X]
3. Chat channels..kinda
Looking forward to this regardless! ^_^

Hello Sueco, I am the Devil.
You know, yesterday I was thinking "Hell is getting kinda crowded, I surely could use a hand to manage this mess."
Then I heard a voice from the other dimension offering his left hand for some piece of shit information everyone knows already. I didn't mind, and I thanked the lord for this opportunity, even tho Him and I don't really talk to each other much ever since his Son pulled that little stunt 2K years ago and stole my customers.
But whatever, don't mind me, I'm just a bit down; here's what you asked for.
Here's your answer, this mortal is the cause:
+ Show Spoiler +
I'll be coming for that hand in the next week or so, it seems I'll be kinda busy these days with muslims planning crazy shit for the World Cup.
Devil over, peace out.
p.s. I sure hope your left hand isn't the hand you prefer for *those* things, coz that would be gross.

What if....and this is a big if....what if Frank Pearce was....joking when he said "Do you really want chat channels?", just that none really got that he was being ironic.
Mind. Blown.
