SShhh! Don't ask these questions on the forum. Can't you see the moderators have gone bananas on people trying to figure these things out?
edit: <3 mods, you make TL sane. But these are some legitimate inquiries.
I am still waiting for my copy to arrive, so at the moment I am using a guest pass. I have also disabled the Facebook integration as best as I could - SC2 settings, Facebook privacy settings, etc.
Now, my problem is that when I go to the Add Friend tab I can add them by game id and use the Facebook feature but adding by email is disabled for me. Does anyone know whether this is because I am using the trial, because I have disabled Facebook (sounds retarded but that's Activision we are talking about) or it's just some sort of a bug?

If you have any plans on playing multiplayer once the expansion is released, then yes you will have to obviously buy it. When Broodwar was introduced it added new units to multiplayer, and the same thing will happen when blizzard releases the first and 2nd expansion for sc2.
i havent found a better suited thread to ask and also dont wanted to create a new one for that; can someone help me finding a rapidshare/megaupload/sharingmatrix link for the EN-US installer? i already bought the game and all, but my connection have some problems dealing with p2p and im downloading it at 40KB/s from blizzard servers, that will take forever to finish. But i can to download at speeds over 500KB/s from a rapidshare or megaupload server, then id like to try it. i have found some links so far, but there is no description about the region and I've bought the key for the north american server, then i need the EN-US version of the installer.
Ugh, until they change the gameplay to be a bit more micro-oriented like SC1, I'm going to play the original more. And some balancing stuff. *CoughTERRANCough*
No medic? This makes lings > rines, and Zerg > Terran. By the time you get to medivacs, you'll either be overrun by zerg or be out-teched. No Goliath? No pure mech v toss (gols)? No Dark Swarm?
Flash is NOT going to be pleased. Also, no more SK Terran :'-(
Does anyone know if you can play SC2 on integrated graphics? My laptop has generally good specs but no graphics card. I would like to play SC2 but certainly cant afford a new PC.

Any time you are engaging a small number of armored units (3-4 units or so) where the splash damage won't be of any use tank mode is usually superior. Against a single target, a siege tank will do more damage per second in tank mode as long as the unit is classified as "armored". This includes buildings. If the units or buildings are clustered enough that the splash damage will hit multiple targets then siege mode will always be better.

In my experience SC2 will definitely not run on integrated graphics, even at the lowest settings.

I have integrated graphics (intel GMA 950) on my laptop and it runs sc2 on the lowest settings. Man, it was a close call though. It's playable (really fun actually), but forget 3v3 and 4v4.
I know its been discussed lots so I wanted to add it in here. Are there rumors that custom hotkeys will get added in a future patch? I love the grid hotkeys but attack move as T and combining that with shift for multiple waypoints and stretching my pinky something fierce.
