then why not get the SEA version? Because the SEA version costs significantly more than the NA one (3500 pesos locally ~ $80USD). wow thats so expensive! but yay another step to playing in any server anywhere

Oh hai, cause theres no competative SC2 players in europe right?
Seriosly.. world-wide servers please.. so stupid.
|
i haven't heard any good reasons from blizzard as to why players cannot switch servers as they please. other than more money, they have no good reason...
|
Wow. Now I'm going to have to use my NA collectors and save my SEA collectors to sell later.
|
Just remember that theres going to be a delay for when this happens.

It just so happens that the latency to NA and to SEA are almost equal (proven by trace route) for most AU customers (optus isp being an exception).

What I dont fucking get is that if they are giving NZ and AU a server choice why the hell doesnt everyone else get it?
Rigged shit is Rigged. Draw a fucking Line Blizzard. Either give everyone cross region or give no one.
I mean sure they cant change it after they pick, but if they are allowing this, why the hell wont they allow a 100 percent cross region. This is all such bullshit.

Awesome, this is great news. Thank you blizzard!

This was my first thought when reading this also. Clearly it can be done..

This is probably the first step towards building seamless cross-server play, they'll eventually patch it in in HotS or LotV.

Holy fuck, that is good news!!

EU players on US realm with have higher latency than if they play in EU. Same goes for all other regions except SEA->US.
SEA->US is the only region gap which does not increase latency.

really nice to see this kind of news coming from blizzard, looks like they're really working on getting the overseas servers access
|
THIS IS SO SICK!
You just made my day!
|
What about NA players having friends/rivalries/whatever over in Europe?
Meh... just give people xrealm already.

Kind of wierd to do that but restrict it to english copies only.
