How about Blizzard just does this shit right -for once with Bnet 2.0- and let people play wherever the hell they want to? Maybe disable ladder searches if you try to play outside of your region and your lag seems too high, seems like a reasonable solution.

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. Dude we've had to put up with Blizzard's BS (and other games) for ages, and finally our much higher cost of the game is justified you can't take that away from us. Blizzard not neglecting us for once is the Emancipation Proclamation for Australasian residents. | ||

While most people from USA or Europe have always been playing within their regions and are not forced into a new server. So its only fair to us that we can play on both. I dont get it. Why would you guys want to play on SEA? when the Majority of us would move to the NA servers anyway? Its not that bad really, if you have actually been on any SEA server regardless of game you'll realize the majority of people will be speaking english. Most people can understand/talk a few english words to make your experience less miserable. If all else fails, just play with your fellow Aussies/NZ or go lag the NA servers. | ||

Edit: Also getting hugely annoyed with the "SEA region doesn't speak english" arguement. Most gamers in the region DO speak english and besides, most ladder games don't go beyond "GL HF GG FUCK YOU" anyway. Chat channels will obviously separate cultures of different languages. | ||

I wonder if this applies to the digital version as well, the FAQ just states that it applies to the Standard and Collector's Editions, and doesn't directly mention the Digital Download version (if they treat that separately). They probably want to restrict this only to people who live in the SEA region and making it only work on boxed copies is one way to do that. Might be worth asking them tho, I'm not sure. | ||

You deserve multiple server access all of a sudden? | ||

But seriously - that grows the 'player pool' for the SEA clients which is great to see. Kudos to Blizzard. | ||

(Whether because they expect some technical difficulties, a new gaming community with little to base on, etc.) Also some of our connections here in SEA is actually faster when connecting to the US. | ||
