This is what I was wondering. Do you need to make a new account with tw.battle.bet in order to activate the game properly, or does it work fine if I activate it with the same account that I use for my NA account? Also, does this violate any of the terms of use? It seems like it shouldn't since you are legitimately buying the game, just a bit curious. | ||

Or is it meant for another realm (SEA or something)? You will have to wait a few days till they do the region merge then you will be able to play with the KR players | ||

I guess making a Taiwan Bnet account might require a NID. Though... I really don't see any reason why you would make a Taiwan Bnet account other than the possibility that adding both regions of SC2 to the same account might not allow you to play both at the same time. Even then, just make another US Bnet account. | ||

I made a US Bnet account first and then added the Taiwan SC2 to that account via account management --> add a game. Doing so, I never needed a NID. The game just shows up under the game accounts under Starcraft 2. Rather than having North America (NA), it will say Taiwan (TW). I guess making a Taiwan Bnet account might require a NID. Though... I really don't see any reason why you would make a Taiwan Bnet account other than the possibility that adding both regions of SC2 to the same account might not allow you to play both at the same time. Even then, just make another US Bnet account. Excuse me if I'm wrong but.. I'm pretty sure you can't have 2 copies of SC2 (regardless of region) on the same account. Either way, to add mabye some help to people making a tw account, you can search "Taiwanese NID generator" and you SHOULD find it ^_^ GLHF in Korea guys! | ||

And if so, how would the actual logging in work, do i get to choose the realm where i play in? Confusing SEA, NA and EU we should be able to but TW and KR I don't think so. Someone confirm please. | ||

You can get two copy of the game in a same account, as long they are different regions, had it for ages. Edit: I use seperate game client as well, so whichever region I want to play on, I just open that client, since it won't give you a choice. | ||

If you want to know the latency to any server in any region, your best bet is just google the login server name or IP for each region. Using CMD, You can then ping the server, or run a tracert if it doesn't allow UDP/UCP packets. I forget the correct terminology, but this is why some servers are "un-pingable". A less accurate way to determine an average latency is to find a website hosted in Taiwan and simply ping the server. If you already have access to another server through Sc2 (I.e SEA players to NA) and are curious on the latency times but can't find the server info in google, you can also find this out in CMD. If you have sc2 running and connected to the server you wish to ping, simply open CMD and type "netstat -b" without the inverted commas. A list of applications using your internet connection will be displayed. Simply find the application that has [sc2.exe] in brackets. Next to it will be the IP of the login server it is connected to. You can then ping that server using the information. I.e "ping 77.138.99.76" or "ping servernamehere" Same syntax for the "tracert" command. Probably TMI, but hopefully someone finds it useful. | ||

There are no problems running either though I have never tried to run both at the same time. If you want picture confirmation, I guess I could take a print screen. | ||

On my computer, I have both the Starcraft 2 (North America) and Starcraft 2 (Taiwan) installed. Though, as a warning, you will have to do something about the shared directories. If I want to play, I just boot the proper version of SC2 and enter my Bnet info. | ||
