If you want to practice a new race, play custom... I'd rather have a second "account" just to play on another region.

Oh, by the way, still amazed the game is region locked.

I highly doubt it, one you get to masters

This would just cause trolls to lurk around the entire game without facing any consequences...
leaving custom games... alot of exploits.. etc


This sounds exactly like something Blizzard would say.

Having one extra character can only bring good. People want to be able to play as an off race and not ruin their mmr trying to learn it. It's not like just because you have an extra account you are going to log onto it and troll everyone you see. Even if that is the case, what of it? There are trolls in every game, more options for players who actually want it won't change that fact one way or another.

And as for the statement "trolls will lurk around without facing any consequences", for one blizzard would see the two accounts as one, so if you get banned on one i'm sure you would be banned on the other. So if you see someone trolling or being a dick, report them. Problem solved, and the people who want an extra account are happy.

More options = good.

But Blizzard seems to only look at the very few negatives that may exist.


If your willing to give people on the internet multiple masks to hide under, as suppose to your real true face, then that alone creates room for negativity within the game.

So its better not to create any oppertunity for such events to take place...
This discussion should really end here....
Blizzard wont implement it, and theres definetly not one good benefit from doing so.


Wow... I can't believe people can get away with such flawed logic like this and not get banned (I'm obviously exaggerating but you get the point).

You know what... I agree. There is a negative side to having multiple accounts so we shouldn't have it. While we're on the topic, causing everyone to go to a public school leads to some bullying; that's a bad thing so we shouldn't have it. Driving a car leads to car accidents, we should walk everywhere. Just kidding, walking also leads to tripping and getting injured, let's not allow that. Don't even get me started on food, people choke and die on that stuff... let's ban it.

You can't seriously think dismissing something because of one negative aspect (which applies to significantly less people than the amount of people the good aspect affects) is a sound argument. You know, I may have honestly just shrugged it off because I see this kind of stupidity all the time, but saying "This discussion should really end here...." sealed the deal. You were basically saying "Come on guys... this is a no brainer, I am clearly right" with such terrible logic.

By the way, I am not saying having multiple accounts NEEDS to be implemented and it is nothing but good, but I definitely won't say "please, it clearly benefits more people... this discussion is over." You're a joke.



Im stating this as a fact like hitler and the holocaust. we've seen this happen, giving people multiple faces on the INTERNET often than not creates room for negativity. It is a fact more or less.
You compared my logic with walking. How stupid can you be?
You comparing a fraction of winning a lottery vs a fraction of you seeing a troll on the internet.
Dont come here blatantly trying to insult my logic if you dont have one yourself.



I guess you haven't heard of using hyperbole to make a point... wow.

"I'm stating this as a fact.... It is a fact more or less." Lmao you can't even help but contradict yourself.

Furthermore, "You comparing a fraction of winning a lottery vs a fraction of you seeing a troll on the internet." is a terrible counter point and completely misses the point of what I was saying. Of course you will see many trolls on the internet, but that is the case with or without multiple aliases. What I am trying to say is... I am NOT comparing the two because there is no relevant correlation between that statement and the argument so I am not sure why you are bringing it up. Before you confuse yourself even more, I am not saying multiple names will not lead to more trolls, but that is not the focus.

In any event, the whole point, which I can't help but repeatedly mention that you missed because it really is quite amazing, is that you can't rule out something because there is a negative aspect to it. Almost everything has pros and cons, but you can't look at everything and say... "there is something negative about it... this conversation is clearly over! There is no way it should be included!"

For example, many medicines have a slight risk of harming a user, but the benefits far outweigh the risks in most cases so it is considered a good thing. Not only did you not try to weigh the pros with the cons, but you immediately decided this wasn't even a discussion worthy topic after you completely ignored benefits. Do you now understand why your argument was so bad?

I guess I'm just used to games being region locked (like having a NA wii and ps2 in EU).

I am considering buying a second copy of sc2 for cross region as soon as price drops a bit..

It could be an extra 'PTR account'

What I mean by this is, lets say blizzard unleashes a new PTR that has some different changes, things that they're just doing some pubilc testing with, and aren't sure if they'll put it in the normal ladder. So maybe they want to let people go onto their 'unofficial' account (that will reset with every ptr), so that they don't ruin their main ladder stats in the event that some of the PTR changes are totally unbalanced.

Ya know?
I've heard that blizzard is going to implement a "$5 per name change" option in the future, so I doubt they'll allow users unlimited accounts.

I'd love to have an account that I didn't have to worry about winning on. I know Day9 has mentioned that sometimes it's nice to just mess around and have fun, and he says that's why he has more than one account!

From my experience with the WoW PTR and battle.net accounts in general, that dropdown box only comes into play when you have multiple copies of the same game on 1 battle.net account. The PTR is treated as a separate copy of sc2. Not sure if this has already been said but I don't really feel like digging through 13 pages to find it.

Im raging inside so il try to hold back, but as stated several times, blizzard is not giving anybody a free second account.
If anything this could be possible implementation of account merging so that you can have 2 paid accounts under 1 b.net id, but jesus christ people... come on, theyre not going to give out free accounts.


Now as to why this is actrually there, blizzard has stated that this is for the ptr. if you used the ptr the first time around, and then used it again at a later version of it then yes.. you have 2 ptr accounts. Blizzard stated that this is a bug, and should not be visible in the live version of the game.


But i cannot stress this enough, and although its my own opinion/common sense, people are getting awfully hopeful that theyre getting a free account. lol.

The only people who want a free second account are the ones who don't actually need one.

The 2 accounts so far only work on the PTR, and only gives you a second profile to work with. I'm unknown if this will carry over one day to the live servers.

Why is everyone confusing "NEW ACCOUNT" with "Secondary Alias"?

In my mind, it will still be the same account, just more so another character to mess around on/do different things with.
ie; WoW... You have an account, where you may have 3 different characters.
On the one WoW account you may have a lvl 80 Priest, a level 76 Hunter, and a level 50.. Druid..

You can't log into two of the characters at once, as they are on the same account.

Would like to see Blizz do something similar, simply so I can tell
'OK, I'm diamond with Zerg.... But I'd love to know where my protoss is at/advance at toss without sinking my rating..."
Playing custom games is too far different from the ladder. Not only is it hard to get map variation, but you rarely find someone who is a fair fight.

All for it.
Play the games!

it might turn out to just be a quicker way to log on to the ptr. where you get to choose normal sc2. or the ptr sc2 insted of having to load up the ptr and sc2 differently.
