Will make it a lot easier for tournaments... Also it can't be that hard to have a "replay-watching-admin" that can control when the replay is starting for everyone! | ||

You get the same thing on the EU WoW servers with Italians. | ||

These linked servers are physically located in the same place, and even had sort-of cross-server communication ability(chat channels, RealID). NA and EU have literally a ocean between them. | ||

It still shouldn't matter. They had no region lock in a game made 13 years ago, yet they don't have the technology now? Region lock is pretty much a massive joke. | ||

Now you have a smurf account. (: I was thinking of buying another account just to play on the NA server during this Winter break. So glad I didn't do it. :D But srsly, you can transfer one of your accounts to the EU server. | ||

Region lock is pretty much a massive joke. They never denied they had the technology to link NA and LA, in fact, both were always on the same server, you could even join the same chat channels. Merging servers that are actually the same server is, unsurprisingly, simple, unlike cross globe servers. The "technology" they had before wasn't superior to what they have now, regions were still locked, not linked, what you could do was choose which one you wanted to play in. All Blizzard did was remove the choice to play in a diferent region with the same SC2 copy, which may have been greedy, may have been a bad decision, but in no way is any diferent technology wise. Instead of choosing the Europe realm, you buy the Europe copy. | ||
