Btw troll above - Blizzard already said they are gunna bring in cross-realm play at some point, however they cant do it right away because latency/network issues. B.Net 2.0 is still a brand new network and it'll take time for it to be 100%. The regions in question have different circumstances than the other major regions that necessitated Blizzard to act upon their concerns. Listen, this is complete bullshit. I have played on all servers - there are no latency issues. They have let people choose the server they want to play on since Warcraft 2, the reason it isn't in the game now has nothing to do with latency... Yet in both professional and amateur matches across all video games, INCLUDING StarCraft 2, region to region latency is a big issue. Weren't people just talking about White Ra lagging in his show matches against TLO just a few days ago? I have played both Dota and Counterstrike competitively from the US, and when I play with friends in Europe there is a huge difference. Now the fact that you used to be able to choose realms and can't now doesn't make sense, but to flat out lie and say cross region play doesn't lag is just ridiculous.
White-Ra had connection issues or the beta servers were lagging, the fact is Europeans can play just fine on the US servers, and vice versa.
The only person ever affected by lag is the guest, anyway, so even if someone has lag, his opponent won't be affected.
If you haven't tried playing on the US servers lately, you should probably do so before you claim there's a huge difference, because there isn't.

Please Blizzard, give every copy the same access. I'll play $100, if money is so important to you. I'd rather be connected with the entire world. They'll probably offer a paid patch or something, but just implement from the get go instead of going through all the hassle. If you'd just implement it so we can change regions in the first place, there would be no latency issues. You just choose the one that doesn't lag, or you suck it up and play in a laggier server. What is wrong with you? The original post said SEA-> NA play did NOT cost money, so from that you gather money is their main motivation? Also, if you really are willing to spend any amount of money to play on other regions, you know you could just buy another copy from another region to do so? I am as critical of blizzard as anyone but when they do something right and people still complain... that's just beyond ridiculous. Self entitled people who will never be satisfied apparently.
If someone fucks you over, are you supposed to be grateful that they are gentle about it? Not having the option to switch between regions is a huge fuck you to the entire community, we are very much entitled to still be pissed off.

Most of the places in the SEA region have english as a major language. Vietnam and Cambodia not so much.

I don't think this is anything to get too excited over. This is a feature that was available 10 years ago.
Also I laughed pretty hard at having to use another client. It's like they specifically designed the game so you absolutely could not play outside your region.

If it's anything like the beta, the only thing that prevents you from connecting to a different server is a 20 mb base.data file - which is just so fucking ridiculous it makes me want to scream.

AFAIK the reason for all of this, is how the billing for battle.net works per region. Battle.net is not just a service for hosting games anymore, it has all of Blizzards billing plans on it for their store, WoW and a few other things. They are currently working on trying to figure a way to let everyone connect to the other regions without them getting in a lot of trouble on the other ends of battle.net. It sucks but that is how the world works on the internet regarding money.

Brilliant move by Blizzard, because they saw that many people from SEA bought (the cheaper) US version so they made the SEA version more appealing by make it work on SEA and US servers "for free" (yeah right). And now everyone from SEA and even some from US will buy the SEA version because it works on 2 servers and not just 1.
The sneaky little bastards

it would be sick if east asia gets opportunity, this is not happing. O.O MAYBE in the near future!.

Yay my aussie friends yay!

hehe I remember a long time ago me and you would go at it for this kind of stuff before the beta even came out but I have to agree this no region switching is very very stupid. It sucks that they plan on doing this "months" after release when I really don't see how its so hard, they did it for sc1, wc3 (I believe), most games don't have this problem so why does blizzard?
Hopefully they add this sometime soon, would also like clan support...
|
Mm two months after release.. I might just buy both copies at launch anyway.
|
We're being happy over such a small thing. Shows how much Blizzard has changed over the years.
Nonetheless, a good change, at least I can now compete in both servers and observe the differences between the trends in the servers.
|
This is simply fantastic news! I hope this trend continues and we get global access! XD
|
Chill guys... Didn't Blizzard said they will eventually implement cross server capability for everyone? I think we AUS/NZ are just guinea pig, as usual for being isolated from the rest of the world. Once it's proven stable, i'm sure they will gradually implement that for everyone.
|
Thank god. This was one of my biggest concerns about SC2. Most of my friends are in NA and I'd much prefer to play with them.
|
Can someone help me out here? I live in south south china, but I digitally downloaded the US version because I'd rather play with my RL friends from Canada and the guys on IRC etc. I would have to now RE DOWNLOAD the SEA version, or would I be able to patch it to SEA, then activate it?

They said that your CD-KEY will define your region, not the client that you are using. Not quite sure about it tho, but try if you can cancel your order then buy the SEA version.
just a hint: I think it's going to take a few months before this is implemented. T
