Yeah, I think that's it, Carnac. I would like to try and play on the Korean server, but unfortunately, my internet is really bad. So it would disconnect, and I would get angry Koreans on my tail.

I want to see the real skill level of Koreans, for my own eyes!!!

Anyone smurf on the korean servers? How is the lag? I know you need some info so if I just use my korean friend can I install 2 clients?

Hi Yellow Snow, remember me from the IGN tourney?

Don't you need a Korean SSN to play on the Korean server anyways? Even if you had an incredible connection there's no way you would be able to get an account on the KR server.

anyone can play on the korean servers, so long as the account has been activated using a korean ID number. so, if a korean is willing to make an account for a foreigner, anyone can download the client and play there.

you need to purchase a korean copy to play in korea, because you need a korean CD key registered to a korean bnet account.

i think it's worth it though. i have great internet, and i'm considering getting a korean version of the game because i hate the stupid play that plagues the american servers. i'd probably only be in gold league there, but that'd still be far more enjoyable than diamond here.

No I don't Moa. Headshot, one of my friends has to know someone with dual citizenship. Everyone owes me favors anyways.

The only legal way I know is visiting South Korea with a long term Visa (> 90 days, working/studying/marrying/...). Then a foreign version of Korean SSN can be applied.

I was curious about this issue, so I searched and found a news article about the recently established way of applying "I-PIN" (which can be used instead of KSSN in kr.battle.net) even with a short term visa. But I can't find the exact procedure yet. (Maybe the article is wrong?) It still requires visiting South Korea but much easier than getting a serious visa.

Because of the KSSN, does that limit one SC2 account or rather, one Battle.net account to each person? And by that, I mean to Korean citizens.

IF the stupid play on the NA servers is the one base all in stuff that you see all the time then going to the korean server isnt going to help at all. Everything I heard is that the korean is even more 1 base all in agression then the US server is

Yeah only one battlenet account each. Buying and binding multiple SC2 copies is possible.
