Sadly, you do need a Taiwanese ID to buy a Taiwanese account just like Korea.

Looks like you can generate TW ID's via this.


fake edit: Just tried it, works.
Dunno the legality of this, so if someone can verify. I doubt very much that it's legal but it seems to have given me a valid ID for a Taiwanese Male from Taipei.

It is a server merge, but I don't see what the problem is. This is one step toward what pretty much everyone wanted all along????? Remember the region lock outcry from alpha/beta??

yeah it is easy to generate and easy to get a BNet account.

You dont even need a generator, you just need to know what letters/numbers go in which place and you can make it up yourself.

The hard part is.... getting a hold of Taiwanese CD key.

Bnet has a direct link to "mygamecard" or something like that, which is all in chinese but most browsers autotranslate now. Where you can buy the require 1950tpt sc2 unlock

I didn't know that the technology existed for this. Incredible that peoples of different continents and parts of the world could ever play against each other online with latency acceptable to both parties. What will they think of next, the ability to let players sitting directly next to each other play with a connection between both computers? Hail Blizzard!

The merge is obviously for the benefit of smallers servers. I don't think it reflects poor activity in the 3 main regions of EU,KR and NA.

I still don't understand why they won't let us choose our language.


Because they sell the game cheaper in some regions, and the only thing keeping people from selling, for example, the LA cheaper version to NA, is the language.

So greedy, I know.

Hmmm, but didn't they also say that they aren't closing down any servers? They said latency won't change/you'll be playing on the same servers in both regions.

It's kind of like the battlegroup merges for WoW. They didn't close any servers, but they let battlegroups play against each other.

Of course that was probably population motivated.

LOL I feel so bad for the Taiwanese. Their grandmasters will be bronze considering a certain country coming into their zones...


I'm glad I do not have to change my name, but frankly, I really dont think that, were I Latin American, anybody would take MY name XD

SEA is going to be even smaller now in comparison to the other servers

Think I'll give up on SEA and only use it for tournament play, got out of bronze pretty quickly on the US server and I currently roflstomp gold - plat players regularly there anyway, can't get out of bronze at all on SEA.

I live in Taiwan, and I don't think I had used my ID to buy sc2.

So far most of the sc2 forums in Taiwan like this news. It's a good challenge and we can find the match easier. I might need to practice harder tonight. loooool

Taiwan Server and Korea !!! Taiwan has their own TeSL broadcast weekly on TV and I think this join server thing will improve Taiwan's esport scene.

Taiwan's skill is actually not bad or even better than NA. Just that never get sportlight on TL foreigner scene because of language barrier. If they get the chance to train with Koreans more often, their skill will grow super fast. I think Westerner needs to be really scare.
