However, when I woke up the next morning, my account was "locked." I contacted blizzard and they said my purchase was declined for "security reasons" and that my credit card wouldn't be charged. I didn't pursue it beyond that. I did end up with a eu account, but I bought it off a third-party retailer based in the UK, you can find one if you google around. Some larger ones like Amazon UK won't ship to the US though. | ||

Most CC companies will immediately mark a Euro transaction from NA (or in Europe) as being suspicious unless the card is literally swiped or the chip read. Yea, that's what I suspected happened with me. I didn't end up looking into it though. | ||

I'm assuming its because I am trying to use my credit card which is US-based. Any help would be appreciated. Try this out. Cheaper is US: http://www.mmoga.com/Gamecards-CD-Keys/Starcraft-2-Key.html It's an European key. Or UK: http://www.mmoga.co.uk/Gamecards-CD-Keys/Starcraft-2-Key.html Also an European key (look at the EU-Flag on the bottom of the first picture). have fun Edit: The sites are trustworthy, I bought my key there They send the key via E-Mail | ||

EDIT: It's actually cheaper to do it through this method because it will charge you in USD instead of euros. So you'll end up paying $59.99 instead of 59.99 euros or w/e the amount may be. | ||

You can login to battle.net (where I already have SC2 purchased, installed and running, NA Region) and then select to purchase SC2. Switch to EU region and purchase this version / key. Having both NA and EU keys registered to 1 battle.net account. What is the best way to switch from region to region? 2 copies of the installed game under different install paths? (1 for each region) If that works I suppose each reason will recognize the email address associated with battle.net and pull up the correct key / acct for the specific regional client I use. If this won't work or there is a better way, please correct, update and let me know. Thanks, | ||
