Lol. All this does is show that they could easily allow cross-realm play if they wanted to.

They're CHOOSING not to.

Bleh Blizzard.

I'm so sick of all the arguments about latency. Let the players choose? We don't need you to babysit us blizz, thanks.

You could just have a warning when connecting to a diff server: "Warning, playing on this server will result in higher latency, we recommend you play on __________. Would you like to proceed?"

b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Blizzard never listens to it's fans! impossibible!

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...

A big fat +1 to this.

I also played on all the servers during beta, and they were really fine. I play on Europe from Korea, and its fine.

The latency argument is BS.

Btw just how many servers does Blizzard have for SC2? And how does that compare to WoW, WC3, and SC1?

NA, Euro, SEA, and Asia?

I am fairly sure the reason they don't let people choose server is because of how WoW and Bnet2.0 are so closely related. They probably can't figure out how to let people choose their own SC2 server without letting people choose their own WoW servers.

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.

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.


QFT -

Since the very early days we have always had to put up with +200 ping to NA servers (regardless of coast). Whilst our country's internet is certainly not the best - it is not just that issue.

And I will admit - over time you get used to it, but seriously, there are things we cannot do with 200+ ping that NA players can do against us that seriously piss me off. Maruader kiting, hellion kiting - pretty much all version of kiting - are incredibly hard for SEA players to pull off on NA servers.

Now whilst this isn't the key issue here - it is a big factor of how we partake in the community, and a factor we have to deal with. When you take into account the issue of the SEA server (Many non-english speakers, latency is actually worse than NA for some people) it really isn't fair to get all teary about us and us alone having the option to say hi to NA folks.

Yeah Jinro is right I mean Australians have been playing on the NA server right throughout the BETA with no problems at all so it only makes sense that Blizzard made this decision :D

Soon enough they will allow multi-region for everyone hopefully!

In Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Blizzard focused on getting rid of smurf accounts and that is most likely the reason for the one account pr. person policy.

In conjunction with latency, bnet 2.0 and interoperability with WoW, smurfing might be one of the main reasons for not allowing play on more than one server.

If you have an account on more than one server you will still be able to use one of them as a lossbot-smurf account where you leave games just to get easier opponents and win almost all of the games you actually play.The other account would obviously be used more seriously.

It is still possible to abuse the laddersystem with one account, but it would not be possible to gauge the real skilllevel of the abuser, which is a sufficient to keep the abuse at a lower level.
Repeat before me

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.

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.
There is no one like you in the universe.

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.
