Big thanks to Husky and all the other people on TL supporting the cause 
EDIT:
Q. Hi. So many people are complaining about this on the forum... is it true that there will be no chat channels? I hope not!
A. We do have plans for chat channels. Specifically, we want to organize chat channels around users' interests so you know what types of conversations you are going to get into when you join a channel. This feature is not something that will be in for beta. Currently we plan to do this feature in a patch after the game launches.
False alarm. m(-_-)m
They are also bringing back identifiers in the form of "character codes". Cmon blizzard is it that hard for people to come up with a unique nickname?

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. 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.
hahaha nice one!
HF @ the world cup

Am I the only one that didn't know chat channels were already going to be implemented 2 months ago? I just remember seeing alot of ppl complain about no chat channels and "do you really want chat rooms?".

3. Chat channels..kinda
Looking forward to this regardless! ^_^
LAN is only for the tournament partners as for as I've heard - which is nice for the game on the professional level. I want LAN so that I can rape the faces of my friends when we are having a LAN night - win7 pretty much eliminated the option of playing BW/Warcraft and thus we are stuck with cs 1.6 and the old AvP. And my FPS skills are at best decent T_T
SO imho, the LAN-shitstorm isn't over yet.

Why release it with a patch after delayed the game for a year for bnet 2? Are they really that money hungry to have to release during summer? I wish they would delay the game just to show they are still the same blizzard. Also, do you trust them to add chat channels and not change their mind after getting your money? Remember that almost all scams comes from people not following through with their words. I'm starting to think that they are holding back some functions to make people buy expansions for something that should be there.

hmm...I wonder if blizzard will ban me if I select 666 as the number identifier? :D

I wish they would allow us to have unique characters. Then again, it could become really hard to contact some players. There is no easy fix I guess. :/

What is the advantage of randomly assigned numbers over the old identifier system?

The previous system did not work as intended to some degree and based on feedback received the developers decided to implement a variation of this, which is going to attach character codes. These will be three digit numbers added to your nickname and they will be seen in the UI screens. Thanks to this you will be able to add friends manually, just like previously with identifiers. On top of that you can still add friends using all other methods (using the score screen or RealID). I want a .007 identifier!
That ID will sell on eBay in minutes... sadly

a future patch eh ? fine, ill buy the game in the future as well :D

My guess i people were confused as to what the identifiers actually were, I know I was the first time I logged in. I think identifiers would have worked really well if they just explained what they were better. I don't like this numbers thing, you should only have to give out your name, your friends should be able to work out who you are from your identifier, instead of having to give out both.
I prefer it over unique names though tbh.

When all is said and done I still think the community will end up having shot itself in the foot.

Greeeaat. Now, global rankings pleeeease.
In the same threads as all the recent news, they've posted the following:
Q u o t e:
Alright, can I just say one thing? Assuming the company follows up on this (and I have no reason to believe they won't), please don't do anything idiotic like make stats global. They need to be region-specific. I really won't tolerate people logging into the American server, turning the competition into mincemeat, then claiming they pulled their march of death on the Korean server.
As far as I'm aware statistics will be region specific.
I'm sure this extends to global rankings.

Really like this. finally we can start shitstorming harder about cross realm play. mayb theyl add that aswell. hopefully they listen to the community about Bnet2.0 seeing as this is what people will use most of the time, Gameplay wise and Balance wise their doing extreamly good on their own imo. reason i stayed playing sc/bw for such a long time was that it felt like a "amusement park" just hanging out with random ppl talking shit and then once in a while jump on a rollercoaster for funtimes. <-- my motto towards what Bnet2.0 should be and hopefully will once one of the expantions come out.

They did announce they're adding cross region play.

Woot! Blizzard actually listened!!!

I am guessing this means that you need to pay a monthly fee to use chat channels?

Oh god, you've asked for it now. You've opened Pandora's Box.
But seriously, they'd be really hard pressed to charge for this. It'd almost be interesting to see them try. If for no other reason than to watch millions of people's jaws hit the floor at the same time. It would take stones the size of elephants' to try that.
