but mainly, aussie comps will be on SEA, as cyber gamer and other sites have said

I have pre-order the collectors edition.. so I'll more than likely not be getting a second US version

SEA

The majority of Australians will be competely unaware of the fact that they will be placed on a different server to the US, so they will all be on SEA. So this seems like the best choice unless there was some way to organise an entire nation to buy the US version.

US because I dont want to be isolated with everyone else when I'll be running events on the US server.

As much as I hate it, I think I will have to buy both.
So after 2 expansions total cost will reach $500 which is pretty ridiculous. I really hoped Blizzard would bring Aussies back to US realm but at this stage it looks like it's not going to happen.

If Aussie gamers have the right to pick server, I'm sure most will pick US. It's surprising and sad that Blizzard is so ignorant about Aussie community. Or maybe they don't care as this is not a big market.

Pre-ordered, on optus, forced into SEA. I hold out that they'll allow cross realm soon after.

if i am not mistaken the tournaments have to go through blizz, they will most likely restrict overseas players playing in tournaments that don't belong in their region...

i really wish blizz could have done something here...i mean using lowerping and playing wow on a 25 man raid with everything going on and ill still have green ping :/...

The US because I get 800ms to the SEA server and all my StarCraft friends are American.

Also, custom maps.

Beta tournaments alone have paid for 4 copies of the game for him. He can have one on each server!

What ever happened to the whole sending blizz an email requesting they change the region you are locked to thing? Will that still be available after release?

I've pre-ordered the collectors edition but I would prefer to play US as I feel the competitive scene in SEA is going to be crap.. Also, I'm moving to Asia next year.. will I be able to play on my account? or will I have to buy a new copy?

To all these people with Optus, is that all that you have available at your exchange? If I were currently with Optus, I would be switching ISP.

I'm getting <100ms ping to the new server with Internode from Adelaide and suddenly looking forward to this game even more.

Also, as if you would buy two copies, you're just encouraging them not to add cross-realm support.

Yes you'll still be able to play on your account. Your actual location doesn't matter - it just means you'll be on the US server wherever you login from.

There will be no cross realm support for release. I don't think telling people not to buy 2 copies would change anything lol.

It doesn't matter if they can switch they shouldn't have to atm there going to be forced to play with 400 ping

this is all stupid blizz is stupid there shouldn't have been region locking in the 1st place -_-
i really hope they fix it I'm most likely going to have to buy 2 copy's because I'm with Optus
so to play properly i will need US copy but to play with all my friends i will need SEA and to play with my friends I'm going to lag like crazy any way so yay :<
