They made the ID as a requirement because of how Taiwan server connects to KR server so they have to make it that people can't get into the Taiwan server and play with Koreans.
I found it too easy to make a TW account on Bnet cause you just have to find a ID generator which should be able to say if it is valid or not

Pretty sure you can get it cheaper for now.

Lastly, when I bought the game, it was no different from the US version. You pay once for the game, install it regularly, and you're done. No monthly fees, no points or whatever. I believe they have point cards and daily SC2 passes (which seems to me like a consideration for Net Cafes).
I have not logged onto my Taiwan account in a very long time but I guess I could give it a try sometime.
P.S. I guess I should also mention my suggestion that you make a new Bnet account instead of adding the game to your existing Bnet account like I foolishly did.
Can you tell us why we should add the game to a new Bnet account?

Way more easier I suppose?
P.s got a TW and SEA account with SEA and NA version of the game. Time to get the TW version

Just got done with the phone verifcation process on offgamers.
See how this works out lag-wise from EU

First, regarding the NID issue, I clarified in the other Taiwan account thread that I made a US Bnet account FIRST then added SC2 Taiwan to that account via account management --> add a game --> enter CD-Key.
Perhaps making a Taiwan Bnet account does indeed require a NID. Though, like I said in the other thread, I don't see any reason why you would make a Taiwan Bnet account unless they changed something since I bought and installed the game.

Well, I'm not entirely sure as I haven't ran both copies of the game at the same time before, but my suspicion would be that you can't play both regions of SC2 at the same time. Sure, it might seem like a trivial issue to some but I think it's convenient to be able to lend one of your accounts out to someone and still be able to play on the other.

I am currently in Taiwan using my NA account, yes it works and you connect to NA servers. (i saw somebody asking above)
Use the pay-as-you-go-method for Taiwan, it's pretty simple I think.

I've tried buying the TW version of sc2 and it allows you to do it from your account......(even if your account is allocated to SEA)

Anyone got any idea wtf i need to do with my "serial" and password on the 150point "softpin" order for TW bnet? (from offgamers)

You use it to charge the battle.net account. I think there is some kind of bug recently regarding charging, apperently you only need to enter the password field and leave out the serial field, other wise you gets an error message.

can't anyone find one of the $35-$40 accounts like they sell in the local supermarket at taiwan? I don't wanna pay $70 I'm pretty poor.

Price will only drop down after 14th of July.

when i try to charge on bnet, i only get one input field

I figured i'd have to do something with that softworld website[in the red box], but i only get errors from that too.
Is there some other bnet redeeming area? I've gone through the "recharge" screen, which brings me to the screen i've just shown you.
My serial and or password aren't long enough to enter into that form, the button stays grey. If i fill in the rest of the box, the submit button activates but obviously... this doesnt work
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UxmDp.png)
This is the screen i get following the Red box'd link from bnet.
No matter if i follow your advice and put password in only, or serial, or both, i always get some error message pop up in chinese that google wont translate because its in its own image box.
Seem to be going round in circles now :S
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pLJmR.jpg)
This is the error that pops up. Then it returns me to the above screen where you put in the serial/pass

So is this National ID Number a government issued thing? In that case, is faking it through a number generator breaking some sort of law or ToS? Not that I'm overly concerned about being prosecuted necessarily, but is something like this likely to cause an account to be banned?

That says verification code is incorrect.
I never charged my acc that way before, however I was able to get to the area with serial and pin. Give me a sec I will give you a screen shot.
I don't know if you can access this page, since the tw game is already listed on my account, all I did is click on it, and there was add game time/buy unlimited access, after choosing the 150point time I was able to enter to this page.

Thanks very much.
It's strange that it says verification code incorrect.
I've never failed a captcha, and it'd be odd if i'm failing this one 10-20 times in a row..

@Eleaven
Have you tried just entering it by selecting the 30 day trial on battle.net website?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/u2YJA.jpg)
edit: someone beat me to it, but yes, you can access that page when you haven't purchased the game yet.

Alright I got it worked out.
First go buy a digital game option, make sure region is set to Taiwan, then there is choice between 150 point and unlimited pack, choose the 150 point and you'll able to enter that page.
I was managed to get into that page in an account that doesn't have the game.

Thanks both of you for replying, when i go to bnet, i dont get an option of a 30 day demo so when i access the same screen that you've both posted, it looks a bit different
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/S6EQl.png)
I asked offgamers support, and they sent me a link to Mycard.520 where you put the serial + password in and that worked.. BUT now i have to chose the correct services, and ofc the dropdown box is all in chinese, so it can't be searched using control + f and it can't be autotranslated by the browser because its not plaintext on the page
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4ogyA.png)
Thank you both so much for your time already though..
The fun part is, once i click on any of those links and hit confirm, that's it, i've bought that service and is unre-deemable and no refunds, so i don't want to get it wrong

gave me a glimmer of hope, but again it sends me straight to that screen where i have to put in prepaid card number, rather than serial/password

Can't you follow the steps I posted above first? I think it's safer that way.
