And hey, since we're all buds now, why not release something official? It's already out there, might as well make it official and maybe Blizzard can get some more control/money back in their hands -that- way. Since that's what they're after. Just release a limited version of THEIR bnetd for a reasonable price to LANs so that they can host their own servers in a totally legit way. This is not unreasonable is it? People would prefer to host legit servers at their official events over anything else, I imagine. | ||

When did / what were the reasons for this shift in policy, I know the main reason is to root out piracy, but what made it okay for private servers to exist in BW and not SC2, I have never fully understood this. Iccup was doing something for a 'dead' game. They ofcourse knew of the limitations of their own servers and wanted to keep the community allive for sc2. I doubt there were a big fan of the downloadable version but either way most people on Iccup had at one point bought sc1. | ||

Like fracturing a global community into subcommunities. There is nothing good about Blizzard having a monopoly on ladders to their own game. E-sports is ground-up, not top-down. Games grow when third parties swarm to do stuff for them. | ||

They're doing fine. This isn't BW days where BNET was utter shit. there is a Great ladder system in place along with solid Matchmaking. There is no need for a private server. | ||

There is no need for a private server. Monopoly means there is no alternative. This is in principle not good for us. And that's debatable: the list of things Battle.net 2.0 is missing is longer than Canata vs Shine. | ||

There's no way this will be used in any sort of mainstream/productive manner, given how involved Blizzard is with all the major SC2 tournaments and lans. The only way I can see LAN in SC2 is if Blizzard themselves implemented it. | ||

First of all, it's almost impossible to find the people responsible in China. If you end up finding these people, the government wont give you the opportunity to sue successfully. If you do end up sueing successfully, they will be replaced by other people and it will continue. | ||

There is no need for a private server. Match makings cool, most of the ladder maps sucks and we have to rely on blizzard to create new maps and add them every 3 months. I would kill to have a private server again for sc2 like in BW. I miss those days at times like these. | ||
