Wait what? Cross-region play is EASILY doable but they won't allow it for everyone?

I really don't see the logic here. Latency isn't an excuse imo.

Love it! Meaning I can sign up to TL tourneys baby! ^_^ <3 Davsp thanks for the quick info ma men!

I think one reason why they might have done this is because of poor sales in SEA region (meaning fewer players) or the other reason is that some of us guys have to connect to NA first before connecting to our beloved SEA server thus latency :/
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I was hoping that Sea is picking up SC2. I bet he can't wait for the single player after that trailer!

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.

I understand Blizz's reasons for Only having SEA -> US but honestly, there's no reason (other than greed or laziness) not to allow people to play on whatever server they want. Just make it enough of a hassle (like downloading a complete separate client as they're doing) with a big old warning about lag stuck onto it so people won't arbitrarily switch over.

I like the idea of having international tournaments, I like the idea of being able to play with friends no matter where they are in the world, and I like the idea of Starcraft 2 being (to some extent) one big interconnected community instead of half a dozen fractured ones.

Of course, I also like the idea of being able to lan with my friends and not having to go online to play singleplayer. Neither of those will happen, frankly I'm very surprised that they're even allowing SEA players to also play on US when there's the very good reason of equal latency.

It makes no sense that they can do this for SEA -> US, but no other regions. Only time will tell what blizzard does i guess.

As for having to download the whole US Client, which contains 99%+ of the same data. Incredibily poor design. Internalization would be fairly easy to implement into a single client catering for all locality's. I guess I, or someone else will write a launcher to choose regions without having to waste 6-7gb of our data cap on downloading the client again.

This is bullshit because they know this is something that players from all regions want. It's a real kick in the balls honestly

Look on the bright side guys. Baby steps. At least with this Blizzard has shown the will (in some cases) and capability for cross-region play.

Just hope in the future Blizzard will implement full cross region play for everyone.

Q: If I have already purchased the North American version, can I also play on the Southeast Asia/Australia/New Zealand servers?
A: No. To have the option to play on both servers, you must purchase the Southeast Asia/Australia/New Zealand version of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. This solution is specifically targeted to address gamers in Southeast Asia/Australia/New Zealand who have social relationships with North American players from previous Blizzard Entertainment titles.


This is a cop-out for the poor dudes who only bought the NA version, they should have the privilege in having access to our SEA servers. Why is it only a one-way deal?
