edit: Gonna assume that this is intended to cut costs of server maintenence. There is probably a lot of overhead with keeping a server running, regardless of how many people are using it, and EU/NA/KR probably had the capacity to continue running just fine despite the increased population. I'm also hoping that they are making some level of upgrades to their server software/hardware to give them the confidence. | ||

 Anyone who has played WC3 knows what I'm talking about. Does the KR/TW linking mean that it'll be easier to obtain an KR account now? | ||

But there is a separate server present for sea, hence linking them to other regions will be a lot more complex, because one set of people connect to the SEA server,whereas the people you are linking to use another server...so how do they then play? pc connects to server, and then the servers pass information between each other, and then the server connects to the other person ? That seems like might cause a lot of problems. But playing with the koreans would be a lot of fun(even if it is at a higher latency), would be happy if they find a way to do it  | ||

Splitting EU and Russia apart was great for Europeans, as Russians hardly speak English, often use another alphabet, lag, flame and most of all cheat Anyone who has played WC3 knows what I'm talking about. Does the KR/TW linking mean that it'll be easier to obtain an KR account now? Yeah, I came from WC3 as well, and even though I try not to stereotype, it was downright staggering what a large % of Russian players in leagues/ladder would be BM and map hack. Definitely a really unique situation where it was a reputation very much deserved. And yes, it is easier to play on the KR server now. Unlike a Korean SSN, the "NID" thing required for TW gaming is very easy to obtain. There are generators out there and I myself have already easily made a TW Bnet account. From there, you can either order the game online or you can purchase what seem to be TW "game points" that you are able to use to buy games. The TW version of SC2 costs roughly $65 when you convert their currency to USD. I'm still not entirely positive on how you buy these game cards, and I'm still not sure it is money I want to spend, but it is totally doable. I'm sure some people will post more detailed explanations of how to get these game cards. | ||

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mbNn6.png) Seriously though, as long as this doesn't cause lag issues I don't see an issue with it. LOL, that's really funny. I know not everyone is like that (there are douchebags in every country), but i have to admint that at least in mmorpgs, that's more or less true. | ||

Btw, it was 30 usd for me full version of sc and I can now challenge na players too  | ||

As a LA player, I haven't found cheating nor lag, plus, LA server is held in the same server as NA one afaik. You're just stating your personal thoughts, they may be valid, but you have no proof to show that LA or RU is a massive cheater/lagger community, it depends on the ISP mostly, so, it's different for every player, at least, for me, I never had lag/cheat issues in LA. Just one week for the server merging and get positioned on silver probably :D.

Just as the guy said above, you can choose to get your account to illimited too, afaik you can pay it in dollars or CLP (chilean pesos). | ||

I cant speak from personal experience, but my family (step mom bro and sis) are all fresh from Ukraine and hated the internet reliability there (and natural gas reliability). Plus Russia is notorious for pirating games, all the cracks usually end up near cheats, so it's natural that they use them more often. Plus many Russian sites are not as widely viewed by Blizzard so they get hack detections less frequently. | ||

From the description in the FAQ, players still go through the same servers, right? But then the servers have to transfer data to each other. Let's say there is a 50ms ping between the RU and the EU server. Won't this just add 50ms to every game when people are playing across servers? | ||

Won't this just add 50ms to every game when people are playing across servers? The servers are hosted in the same physical location. They will be shutting one "shard" off, and all RU accounts will become EU accounts. There won't be 2 separate servers in the sense you are thinking. | ||

obviously this is just a stereotype, I've talked to normal russians before There was a point where literally 90% of the chat I saw was russian. This on a server with several thousands of people online simultaneously. How many times I've been whispered "rus? )))".... The worst part is, you can't ask them anything. When you have a noobie teammate in 2v2-4v4 atleast right now you can explain to him what to do or help him, but it's really frustrating when you can't even read what he's saying I'm just hoping this won't impact SC2 too much | ||

China won the title this time, I heard they made a SC2 LAN-mode (not sure if call it cheating or hacking anyways...). | ||

Most people that play SC2 know how to read english, if they don't know, then do a "premade" 2v2/3v3/4v4?... it's the only viable way i can figure out to play as fine as you always want. | ||

Blizzard won't add cross-region support for Eu-Na-Kr til they squeeze every penny they can out of lack of cross region play. | ||

This is just pure ignorance and racism, LA is no where near to have more lag than NA nor they have that reputation, just so you know, LA and NA share the same servers, and your assumption is wrong, LA has been begging for the linking from the very first month of SC2. | ||
