Everyone is askign questions about it everywhere and it seems nobody understands how to do it yet... so here it is, no need for a Taiwan NID or anything.
Step #1: Buy the taiwanese game on this website for around 75$, it's the first thing for sale at the top.
http://www.offgamers.com/starcraft/starcraft-ii-tw-hk/starcraft-ii-cd-key-c-4183-6056-6057.ogm
Step #2: Once your payment is sent and you went through all the steps, you'll receive your CD-Key on the website, it will be a picture, write it down.
Step #3: Create bnet account on your region's battle.net
Step #4: Log in to your account on battle.net and click on "account" in the top menu.
Step #5: Click "games & codes" in the dropdown menu then click "add or upgrade a game".
Step #6: Enter your game key, the one you received from offgamers when you bought the game.
You're done, your game is activated, you now either need the taiwanese client or the relocalization mod.
Good Luck. It works for me.
Edit: If your downloading the client, turn OFF peer 2 peer downloading in the options, holy crap took me from about 80k down and it SUCKING about 50K up making even internet browsing unusable to now downloading at 225-250k and not uploading anything since it isn't talking to the peers anymore. Working WAY better now.

how is the latency or connection?
|
Wow I didn't even realize the new localizations would make it this easy for foreigners to finally play on KR servers. I definitely might consider doing this, but I am afraid blizzard might already be preparing for this sort of mass migration.
|
So wait, I'm guessing by doing this we will have access to the korean server as well, due to the region link?
|
Pretty good I'd say, havent been in a ling/baneling war yet, but it seemed way better than some pros made it seem. edit: on latency.
|
been using a taiwan account for 6 months get better latency to it from Australia than to the NA and SEA servers
|
losefasttv.. you will have access to the korean server once the link is done..

Just wondering but why do you have to buy the Taiwanese client from some random site? Why not just the tw.battle.net site?
Seems sketchy to me.

Because you can't buy it from the battle.net site unless you have MyCard points, I tried finding MyCard points and eventually gave up.
Edit: Also, just to be clear, you don't buy the client, you buy the cd-key. You can then download the client from battle.net after activating your game.

yeah i bought mine awhile ago and i spent frickin days looking for the MyCard Points it s a waste of time its better to go to a site like off gamers and buy it off them.
after u have the cd key you can either relocalize ur client so that u can play in ur native language or u can download the taiwanese client which has the same interface as the one in ur language except it uses different language labels additionally if u use the taiwanese clientu get all their unit sounds which are pretty good ^^
|
interesting...still wont waste my money, but nice that the option is open.
|
|
|
Awesome! Once I get better.. >_>
|
So I can add this to me SEA account and it'll still let me play on the TW server? No account violation or anything?
|
They're out of stock! God dammit.
|
Adding to favorites so I can do this once I get paid ~_~.
Thanks for the help! I look forward to getting wtfpwned on the KR servers :D
|
|
|
if anyone is looking for an actual korean account leave a msg on EZPikachu's stream thread.
He might be able to help.
|
I googled a generator and was able to create an account within seconds. The one I used was a link off of someone's twitter.
|
That's to make an actual Taiwanese account. I think OP is suggesting you can simply get the game and use it on a foreign server account.

you can add it to ur account but u need to use the account relocaliser or download the taiwan client the latecny is not too bad (im syd btw).

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.
|
I want to make this clear just to avoid spending bucks for nothing - am i eligible to play on KR servers with this TW account? 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

Hm, okay, I posted in the other thread about the NID issue but now that I think about it, I never made a Taiwan 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!
|
So does anyone have an info on what happens if i add multiple SC2 keys to my bnet account? Is it even possible (like it is in wow)? 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.
|
Shouldn't they link EU and NA as well by the way since the latency is pretty decent nowdays for EU to NA?

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.

I clicked the link in the OP, and it's out of stock.
I'm an AMURRIKAN dammit. IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION!
|
It's different, TW server is physically based at Korea.
|
I have both Starcraft North America (NA) and Starcraft Taiwan (TW) on my Bnet account.
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.
|
The only thing about this is that.. Yea its going to be cool to have access to the KR ladder. Was going to say it might not be worth it since HOTS is coming out soon, then I remembered its a Blizzard game so you'll have about a year. Totally awesome !

And to get them to work, you also have to different sc2 clients, both properly localized. Right?

Yes. 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.

Okay, thanks for clearing that out Brian333. 
|
Anyone have good method to reduce the latency from US east to TW/KR server? I have about 300-500 latency...
|
What about a cheaper copy. The TW article said price reduce to $35 to $40 or somethihng but the one in offgames is $70+
|
See what I'm not sure of is that you can't auctally have same chat channels and such. So Korean chat channels are different. But you can matchmake and ladder against koreans?

The price reduction happens on July 14th. It reduces the price from $1950 TWD to $1150 TWD, which is about $40 USD. I am pretty sure this is also why the website is currently out of stock. I suggest you guys double check the website after 14th. Also, it might be possible to just purchase the serial directly from TW-Battle.net starting from the 14th. However, you will need to create a TW-Battle.net account if you plan to get the serial through TW-Battle.net .
|
Also if you don't wanna drop the full price it's only 150 TWD for a month if you just wanna have a snoop.

From canada, eastern/central i will be able to play KR with not much latency?
Someone mentioned only getting it for 1 month, how is this done, I would love to test it first.

Just chiming in to say that the Offgamers site is very good and it was easy to get my TW client by buying points through them

I was with teksavvy, and I can play on TW server without much lag at most time.
Sometimes it become laggy and unplayable though.
Edit: wrong quote lol

Has anyone from Europe tried to play on KOR/Taiwan server? is it playable at all?

Does anyone know if there exist any good ssh tunneling or vpn services for people in the US to play in Korea with lower latency like smoothping provides for Australians playing WoW on US servers?

I think the price has decreased - the link in the OP is now showing $42 price tag, not the $75 mentioned.

Would it be possible that it's 1150 points to buy the game?
Edit: 1950 points at the moment, but according to:

If that's true I really hope I can use my 2000 point MyCard somehow. Can't redeem it for SC2 on the MyCard site T_T

US $42.31

Just in the past 30 minutes the price to redeem on Battle.net is 1150 TWD. You can now buy a full version for $42.

@Martynx
I played my first 5 placement matches on TW last night, placed in Diamond
Speedtest.net ping to seoul test locale says im at around 299 (im based in Ireland at the moment)
TW server is located in KR as well i believe.
Its not the best, but it was playable enough for me to not lose a placement (vs two plats)

i walked into my local 711 today and purchased SC2 for 1150NT ($39). It is now updating to the latest patch.
I also added the game to my NA BNet account and it works fine.
Can't wait to play!

Fake was on the phone with the guys all day and the told me there is no Taiwan account for sale only game points they are very upset as well saying they are going to inform Team liquid about this thread.

Naw man, he's definitely talking about 7/11 in Taiwan since he said he paid in NTD (new taiwanese dollars). Convenient stores in Asian countries often function as super-marts and sell extra stuff not found in western stores, such as video games. You could walk into a Japanese convenient store and pick up Final Fantasy 13 back when it launched, for example.

how much is it from ccgameshop?

The actual Battle.net card is back in stock today on the offgamers link which is different than the mycard.
Just bought the 1150 battle.net card from offgamers and it directly deposited 1150 into my Taiwan Bnet account.
Worked like a charm through paypal.
I used a moneypak from US krogers which can directly add the money into your paypal account balance.
PM me if you need any help doing it this way.... I didn't have much luck the other ways.

Same method worked for me except I just used my regular US bnet account and changed the region to Taiwan to make the purchase. As for connection speed, I live in California and I couldn't feel any lag at all.

Ok, so I got the b.net card and everything last night, downloaded the client while I was at work, and now I'm starting to patch it. At first it was fine, it was updating and what not, and then it closed. I opened it back up and it was opening and updating as the NA client. I'm confused on what to do now? Any help?

I can assure you the site works fine. It's been a week and no unauthorized charges have been made. Phone verification worked fine.

How does the ccgameshop purchase work? I added it to my basket and registered an account but then it wanted an address to ship to, is there a button somewhere that changes it to an e-delivery or something?
Edit: Never mind, I got it from yesasia.com instead. Gonna be a lot slower but I can't play at the moment anyway and at least it was all in English so I knew what was going on >.<

Soldout, too bad (

Shouldn't they link EU and NA as well by the way since the latency is pretty decent nowdays for EU to NA?
No, I get 200ms from eastern EU to NA. It's playable, but I rather not have this delay. Now add people from outside of EU (like Russia) that will have even higher latency to NA servers.

i got it through pchome. but i need some help:
trying to create my account on TW server. i want to name it using korean characters.
if i copy/paste chinese characters, the confirm button (for confirming my account name) will light up. if i manually type chinese characters, the confirm button will not light up, even if i have the minimum number of chars required. if i copy paste korean, nothing shows up in the text box. and i can't manually type it in either (for example if i type 베, and i want to put 스 as the next character, 스, will just overwrite 베. if i press any OTHER button like an arrow, for instance, the letter will just disappear)
...is it only possible to use korean chars on kr server??
i notice no one has a korean name on NA or TW, and no one has chinese name on servers that aren't TW or CN... o_o

Hey man you might need to wait for the merge to take effect, then you will either get to make a new account on the korean server or you can use the name change to change your name to korean.

so my inability to name my account using hangul has nothing to do with my computer, yeah? it's just that i'm on TW server and they haven't merged yet?

Is the link in the OP the one people are using to buy the account? It still shows as sold out and I am confused since some posters state that they managed to purchase it via offgamers via another link, but can't seem to find that. Any pointers?

I might buy one. I don't really see the problem Blizzard sees in this?

Interesting. Thank you for guide ^^

Okay I finally bought it and got it working. The only issue I got is that the site in the OP had it out of stock, so I got it from http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015.
Here are the steps that I followed. I have an account working, downloaded the client from Blizzard and am playing now in the Taiwanese server. (Note: I recommend to use google chrome to get the site it translated from Chinese, since you can get the site translated without affecting the scripting functionality. I tried other translation tools and broke the site for me and I couldn't complete the purchase.)
Important note: I used the process outlined below with Paypal. Do note that your Paypal account needs to have been "verified". The ccgameshop site requires it. If you don't have your Paypal account verified, then the order will go through, but then you will have to provide proof to the Chinese site that in fact it is you who own the account since your paypal order will appear to come from an account that is not verified. And until that proof is given you'll get nothing in return. I'd recommend you verify the account through Paypal itself (it is usually a process where they give you a phone call with a code so you can entere it in the paypal site itself). That way the verification is through Paypal and not a games site. Another thing is that you can call or email the site Chinese site itself to let them know if you are stuck in the transaction and provide the order number from the member center as well as the paypal confirmation number. They have limited English, but I managed to get the message across.
1. Register and create an account in ccgameshop.com.hk.
2. Once logged in, go into the member center within ccgameshop and click on "send verification email" so that an email can be sent to your email to verify the account.
3. Go to your email and check for the mail from them. Most likely it will go into your junk folder since it contains many Chinese characters.This took about 5 minutes to get.
4. Click on the link in that email and then you will get your account verified. If you go to the user center it will now say that "you are a registered user level".
5. Now go into the link http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015 to purchase this 1150 BNET points card.
6. Click on the "add to shopping cart".
7. Click to "check out".
8. It will ask you to enter your name and address. I put USA/Canada as region and Central America for the second drop down. Third drop down nothing populated so I left it like that. All fields must be filled, so I put "Nothing" under landmark and "Anytime" in delivery time. Also you ahve to use the format 1555123456 for the phone number and must be the same for both fields.
9. Continue with the check-out process and you will get to select answer three questions:
a. Delivery method - Select "system sends you message" which means that if the item purchased is a virtual good or game card, they'll send you the code via email or in-site message.
b. Payment method - Select "paypal".
c. Other information - I put nothing here.
d. Submit order.
10. A button will appear that will send you to Paypal, click it.
11. Log into paypal and purchase the account. You will get confirmation from paypal that the item has been purchased.
12. Go to the member center and under "My order" you will see an item with Order number, the amount paid (in this case 317.20 Yuan for now) and Order status. It will take about 30-45 minutes from Paypal to give confirmation to CCgameshop.
13. Once the payment went through, it will take another 30-45 minutes for the site to send you the virtual number of the card. Once this confirmation happens, go into "My order" in the User Center and wait until it says "confirmed, paid". Then click in the link on the order number to show the details.
14. Within the "order status" click on "send/view businesses message" and you will see a message that gives you a serial number of about 25 digits.
15. Go to your NA BNET account and go to Starcraft and then account management. The link should be https://us.battle.net/account/management/
16. Go to the address bar in the browswer and change the us->tw so the link should read now https://tw.battle.net/account/management/index.xml. Nothing will change and the language is still in English, but now there is a dropdown in the right with "points" for your account balance.
17. Click on the account balance and select "recharge account option".
18. Enter the serial code you got from ccgameshop here. It will say "success" and you'll have 1150 points.
19. Return again to your account management https://tw.battle.net/account/management and select "buy digital games". Verify that you are in the Taiwan region in the top right. Click on Starcraft 2 and it will show the option to purchase trial or unlimited. Go for unlimited which costs exactly 1150.
20. Congratulations! You just purchased a Taiwanese account under your name, linked to the NA account that you have, and without having to give your creditcard and information to someone else.
21. Download the zhTW cliente (Chinese) or get a relocalizer.
Enjoy!

Are there any sites that aren't limited to paypal and have direct credit card paying methods?

Playing from Ireland on UPC (mostly considered the TOP fibre ISP in Ireland)
I ping around 300 .. which is by no means the best (to Seoul on Speedtest.net)
Could i do blink stalker saves similar to what i try to do on the EU server (im low - mid masters) .. Probably not
But is it playable - most certainly
Depends on your location and the routes your ISP takes to get there (for example, mine goes via the US)

you need to verify your paypal, it's more of a security thing, such as attaching a bank account/card to paypal, and doing some steps to verify that you are the owner of the bank account/card

Yea don't know why in OP it says 75$ when to me it shows 30€. That's like 45$ or something like that.
I think I actually might get this. I already have NA and EU but this could be my secret practice account.

While waiting for order confirmation does it say "Not recognized, no payment, no delivery" ?

It was 75$ when the OP created the thread. On the 14th or 15th the price dropped to ~45$.

Any ideas?

This is for the unlimited account and it costs about 40 dollars right now.
You must have your paypal verified via phone number from within the paypal website, otherwise you'll have trouble with international sites. There is a method for them to call your phone and verify your account, and that is the verification that the games site requires.
If you have trouble with the battlenet card order, give the Chinese site a call. Tell them that you speak English and have trouble and they will ask you for your order number and paypal confirmation number. It took me about 10 minutes to communicate with them and understand that they take time to verify it (up to a day for paypal and up to a day for the site to send you the number). That is how I got the information of the expected times for each step, since they told me these times themselves.

question, what's the difference between what you linked (http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015) and this (http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2049) exactly?
I'm just wondering o_o

I bought this and it says it has completed. When I go into my account I can see a a serial number and also a code number. I'm a little confused can I use either of these two numbers to activate the Taiwanese copy on my bnet account or do I have to redeem these points somewhere to get a cd key of the Taiwanese version.
Can anyone answer this?
Edit:
Never mind I figured it out the code can just be entered in the Taiwan region of battle.net to use as currency for the digital copy. I feel retarded.

question, what's the difference between what you linked (http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015) and this (http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2049) exactly?
I'm just wondering o_o
One is a battlenet points card that you can get via email and can immediately be used to get a digital copy of the Taiwan version into your North America account. The other is the actual Taiwanese copy that you will need to get shipped somewhere. I don't know if the SC2 retail copy of the Taiwan version will force you to get a resident number, similar to Korea, or you can just associate it with your NA account too.

So is it playable on the Taiwan server? Anyone in the west coast playing and can tell us how the latency is? Thanks.

I only just got the account today, not too sure, as I only tried out the custom game vs an ai for the heck of it, but yeah, seems fine.... but I haven't really tested much so yeah ><

I've been playing on the actual Korean server from the US for a while now (the Taiwan server is housed in Korea to begin with, so it'll all be the same soon). The latency is better some days than others, or at least it feels that way, but it never feels quite the same as playing on NA or EU even on the best days.
It actually took me a while to get used to at first, and kind of threw off my gameplay because I was used to my units responding instantly, but because of the lag I got in the habit of pausing slightly after each click to make sure it registered. This added up, and the result was I felt like I was playing a lot slower on Korea, which was frustrating. I got over that after maybe 10 or 20 games, but I still felt a little bit uncomfortable playing very micro-intensive styles (for example, if you're a zerg, zvz will be frustrating).
I'm master's on both NA and EU, and when I first got my Korean account I placed into plat and even lost a bunch of games to other plat players before I started moving up again. Part of that was getting used to the playstyle and the Korean competition being better, but I think getting used to the lag was also a pretty large part of it. After I started playing a more passive macro-style that was less dependent on unit control/lag, playing on Korea actually became quite enjoyable.
Anyway, that's just my experience. I know there are some people that play on Korea from the US that say the lag is almost unnoticeable, but it just wasn't the case for me.

my best guess is that they dont have an automated mailing system and they have to do it manually.

I can say with almost 100% certainty that we have not been scammed. As for manual typing of the codes.. That would make sense.. Not like we can even access the KR server for another 7 days anyways =/

Yeah I know, I just put it there to be sarcastic/ironic.
I guess that they would have had to do it manually and from what I've seen there contact mediums have all been offline (MSN). So I'm guessing they have no staff.
7 DAYS..... PATIENCE GOD DAMMIT.

Back in stock and I purchased one, can anyone confirm that these accounts will be moved over, I mean it's only $40, but I really would hope that they move all these over also.

Same situation for me.
They probably just need a bit more time - i.e. it took them ~20 hours to confirm my paypal payment.

OP store worked flawlessly, added to my current US battle account with zero problems. Works for me.

Can I use the KR client to play the TW CD key or do I need the TW client?
And if I can't use the KR client, on a related note, can I install the TW client then have it all set to KR? Simply put I want the game in Korean. :D

I bought my Taiwan account last week and i'm playing from Canada. Yes there is a lag, but it isnt gamebreaking. If you play enough games in a row you begin to barely notice the lag. The fact that you are playing on another server (soon to be merged with Korea!) is enough of a rush to trump any bit of lag. Then, when you log into the NA youre like "woah i'm so good" because that big of lag is gone. Works the same way as doing a jog with a weight vest on.
|
How long did it take for the key to come to everyone? Been waiting for 2 long hours.
And when the merge happens will it be in Hangul and have Korean voices? :D

I just bought mine for 40.79 CAD, looks like the price has gone down. I heard about the price dropping a few days ago which is why I came here now.

I've tried adding the game to my account, but a message appears saying:
The game key you entered cannot be claimed. Please check the key and try again. Alternatively, you can enter this key for a different region by changing the leading part of the www.battle.net URL (ex. “eu.battle.net”) in your web browser, or for a different Battle.net account.
I've tried to use my US account and I've tried to create a new account on the tw.battle.net but with no success at all. Help?

I bought from Offgamers and they gave it to me within 10 minutes of ordering.

Well this is how I did it, little different to OP (those steps didn't work for me).
First, I had to go to "Buy digital game" and change my region to Taiwan.
Then it added this thing that said "Account balance: 0". Click the arrow next to that and click "Recharge account". Then put in your code and it will add 1150 credits to your account. Then click "Buy Digital Game", choose Starcraft 2, and use the 1150 credits to pay for it.
Thats how I had to do it, Bnet wouldn't accept my serial as a game key. Works fine though, been playing on the server.
Also Offgamers gave me my key within 10 mins of ordering as well.
|
^ I did the same as the guy above me.
Got my key within a minute of ordering.
|
Well i canceled my order after waiting 8 hours for my key and got a refund in 30seconds. Seems they'd rather give money than accounts? I dunno fucked up, gonna try again tomorrow.
EDIT: Got it in 2mins after trying again (can't redeem because EU B/net is down)
And yes I did do the phone and email thing last time so have no idea why it didn't work before.

Where? off offgamers? If you did not verify your email and phone number they wont send you the key until you do so.

seeing you guys get code so quickly from offgamers, i regret that i bought from ccgameshop. Anyone who's reading this, DO NOT buy the code from ccgameshop

holy shit...
40 CAD :D
thats fucking awesome!
i should buy it sometime this year

U should buy it right away

Same here, just got my code in tonight, after a day and a half or so. They clearly have to do it by hand. Though if you aren't in too big of a hurry ccgameshop is a pretty good site.

Hi all. Im terribly sorry if the answer to this question is hidden in a thread somewhere, but i searched and had so much trouble zoning in on my question because of the nature of the reply that blizzard gives me.
When i try to login to the Taiwanese server after installing the SC2 Localizer and all that good stuff, it returns me a message that merely says "battle.net" at the same time you would normally get the "wrong client version" issue. I had that issue originally, and it was because the Localizer didnt "Localize a Locale" properly in the first place. I redid that step and now i get the error mentioned above, returning "battle.net" in the orange box that would normally contain the error description.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I am wishing Battle.Net Game Card should stock in Australia in person etc. EBgames shop, because I couldn't find them and purchase to Battle.Net Game Card equality is 1,150 Balance account with AUD prices, I ain't credit card payer but I am an debit card payer, how to pay BNet Game Card in online payment?

The only issue I got is that the site in the OP had it out of stock, so I got it from http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015. Here are the steps that I followed. I have an account working, downloaded the client from Blizzard and am playing now in the Taiwanese server. (Note: I recommend to use google chrome to get the site it translated from Chinese, since you can get the site translated without affecting the scripting functionality. I tried other translation tools and broke the site for me and I couldn't complete the purchase.) Important note: I used the process outlined below with Paypal. Do note that your Paypal account needs to have been "verified". The ccgameshop site requires it. If you don't have your Paypal account verified, then the order will go through, but then you will have to provide proof to the Chinese site that in fact it is you who own the account since your paypal order will appear to come from an account that is not verified. And until that proof is given you'll get nothing in return. I'd recommend you verify the account through Paypal itself (it is usually a process where they give you a phone call with a code so you can entere it in the paypal site itself). That way the verification is through Paypal and not a games site. Another thing is that you can call or email the site Chinese site itself to let them know if you are stuck in the transaction and provide the order number from the member center as well as the paypal confirmation number. They have limited English, but I managed to get the message across. 1. Register and create an account in ccgameshop.com.hk. 2. Once logged in, go into the member center within ccgameshop and click on "send verification email" so that an email can be sent to your email to verify the account. 3. Go to your email and check for the mail from them. Most likely it will go into your junk folder since it contains many Chinese characters.This took about 5 minutes to get. 4. Click on the link in that email and then you will get your account verified. If you go to the user center it will now say that "you are a registered user level". 5. Now go into the link http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015 to purchase this 1150 BNET points card. 6. Click on the "add to shopping cart". 7. Click to "check out". 8. It will ask you to enter your name and address. I put USA/Canada as region and Central America for the second drop down. Third drop down nothing populated so I left it like that. All fields must be filled, so I put "Nothing" under landmark and "Anytime" in delivery time. Also you ahve to use the format 1555123456 for the phone number and must be the same for both fields. 9. Continue with the check-out process and you will get to select answer three questions: a. Delivery method - Select "system sends you message" which means that if the item purchased is a virtual good or game card, they'll send you the code via email or in-site message. b. Payment method - Select "paypal". c. Other information - I put nothing here. d. Submit order. 10. A button will appear that will send you to Paypal, click it. 11. Log into paypal and purchase the account. You will get confirmation from paypal that the item has been purchased. 12. Go to the member center and under "My order" you will see an item with Order number, the amount paid (in this case 317.20 Yuan for now) and Order status. It will take about 30-45 minutes from Paypal to give confirmation to CCgameshop. 13. Once the payment went through, it will take another 30-45 minutes for the site to send you the virtual number of the card. Once this confirmation happens, go into "My order" in the User Center and wait until it says "confirmed, paid". Then click in the link on the order number to show the details. 14. Within the "order status" click on "send/view businesses message" and you will see a message that gives you a serial number of about 25 digits. 15. Go to your NA BNET account and go to Starcraft and then account management. The link should be https://us.battle.net/account/management/16. Go to the address bar in the browswer and change the us->tw so the link should read now https://tw.battle.net/account/management/index.xml. Nothing will change and the language is still in English, but now there is a dropdown in the right with "points" for your account balance. 17. Click on the account balance and select "recharge account option". 18. Enter the serial code you got from ccgameshop here. It will say "success" and you'll have 1150 points. 19. Return again to your account management https://tw.battle.net/account/management and select "buy digital games". Verify that you are in the Taiwan region in the top right. Click on Starcraft 2 and it will show the option to purchase trial or unlimited. Go for unlimited which costs exactly 1150. 20. Congratulations! You just purchased a Taiwanese account under your name, linked to the NA account that you have, and without having to give your creditcard and information to someone else. 21. Download the zhTW cliente (Chinese) or get a relocalizer. Enjoy!
I have purchased 1150 points from ccgameshop.com.hk, but I would recommend offgamers unless you understand Chinese.
>13. Once the payment went through, it will take another 30-45 minutes for the site to send you the virtual number of the card.
This is done by manually and it took 2 full working days for me to get the code.
>14. Within the "order status" click on "send/view businesses message" and you will see a message that gives you a serial number of about 25 digits.
in my case, the code was sent to me by the registered email address.
I have recharged my account, but haven't bought it because battle.net spills 500 internal error. Anyway, based on the info that I was supposed to get the code within about 45min and didn't get one. I was sending enquiry to ccgameshop.com.hk, but the person doesn't understand English. If everything goes fine, then no problem, but if you want to ask questions, it is not a good place to buy things. I was using Google translate to ask questions ccgameshop.
offgamers seems to restock 1150 point card. ccgameshop.com.hk is the last resort, I guess.
|
Yes Offgamers did restock, I just bought a TW account there for ~30 Euros
EDIT: They sent the Code 7 mins after the purchase, really great since I have been reading that ccgameshop takes so long...

I'm not exactly sure but can you (or anyone) explain that "verify phone number" thing?
My paypal account says "Status: Verified" at the top - that's what you're hinting at, isnt it?
Also on ccgameshop it says under the order list:

I wouldn't recommend playing the server until it's merged with Korea it's horrible...
Latency is fine about the same as I get playing on NA I have no issues with the lag at all.
However it seems the be the standard to sensor tower rush or wall in with 6+ spines or cannons (this is masters surprisingly) and wait until you eventually overwhelm them because you have every base including their natural. It's not fun Starcraft even more so than playing with French people is. (anyone on EU server will understand)
Was expecting more from them because of Sen.
When is the merge happening and will I be able to loggin using a Korean client? As I can read Hangul but not Chinese.
|
Downloading the zhTW client... v.g.
TW and KR regions will linked in Season 3 onwards... isn't that on 26th?
|
Dah... I was going to ask a question.
Can two versions of StarCraft II be installed on the same pc? I have US version installed and am going to install Taiwan version. Is there anything I should be aware of?
|
Yes I have a Korean, European, North American and Taiwanese client. (Just make sure they all have different names)
So as a few examples of how to name files. (May also want to do this for the maps and stuff folder in documents to avoid corruption)
Starcraft II NA
Starcraft II EU
Starcraft II Kor

Here's a few questions:
Is there anyway to get the Taiwanese client to accept Korean characters? When I go to type in my player name it won't seem to allow any characters outside of Chinese or Latin. I was hoping to put a Korean name in anticipation of the server merger.
Also, is there anyway to have the game installed in another language? I'd love to be playing with the korean sounds.

I wasn't able to use Hangul I tried 하지마 it didn't work. So had to write it in English instead. Hopefully after merge Taiwan accounts will name change if not we always have the 1 free name change and I assume we can just sign in via a Korean client so it'll all be Hangul and have Korean sounds. (although I love Chinese Marines already ^_^)

Noli, theres plenty of documentation regarding the swap. If you are on TW you will be requested to choose a new name when the switch occurs, and your MMR will be reset. You do keep all of your portraits achievements etc. Players on KR stay with what they got, MMR and all. It's almost like a clean slate except for achievements and portraits for TW accounts.
Been playing on TW, bout 30 games in. After 20 games have gotten only GM players (went like 18-2 or something with 2 pvp losses). Kind of funny, I did my placement matches, won all 5, and was placed in platinum. So now i'm tearing up these tw GM players and if they look at my stats I look like some scrub. Kind of funny. The top tw GM's seem quite even to NA GM players. Played 3 or 4 top 50 and 6 or 7 top 150 so far, It's just how I feel about them so far. Got 52 points for my first gm win. I'm actually really shocked the ranking system pairs platinum players with GM hidden MMR or not I feel that's kinda broken. Nothing but GM for the past 12 or so games, sure there is the ladder lock but really? I'd rather just bash some masters or plat players for these last few days >.> . Never heard of StorM before playing a variety of their players on the ladder. They're pretty damn good.
I feel many of these tw players open sub-optimally from the rest of the world. Every gm pvz ive played the Z opens some like no gas spanishiwa (14p 16h?) style but without the extra queens and mass spinecrawler. Plus they take a real quick third (30 supply usually). I dont know how they get away with it, I can kill the expo with 3gate pressure after 2 warpins off 28/28 gates, or open 2gate voidray expand and get a free hatch, and sometimes straight up with with dt expand. with the 3gate expo you are vulnerable to ling counters but it's pretty map specific. perhaps they play vs forge expo every game.

Yes I have 3 installed no problem.
I just installed the TW Starcraft 2 - unfortunately, I'm having a bit of lag there (about 1 to 2 ingame seconds before the unit does what i told it to) - my internet connection is a good one (65mb down, 5,5mb up) but still im having these issues so for you out there from Germany/around there do you have the same Problem?? Is there maybe something one could do to reduce the lag (of course, i Have no downloads on or programs that take up internet speed (althouh i doubt that this could be the problem) -
for all the other ppl from germany: if you dont have someone to confirm that it's not lagging I would recommend you dont buy the game, coz it's unplayable (esp. PvP is not playable with 0 opportunity to micro your units....) - I really hope someone here has a trick/pointer on how to reduce the lag

Yes for me they are and all use same password and authentication. Only thing I can think is check your time and date are right on your PC because that can cause issues with SC2.
Other that that can't provide much help unless you can screenshot what pops up when you enter password ect.

Anyone from Finland or neighboring countries have tried to play there? I want to know how much it is lagging. I know NA-KR is playable but EU-KR can be pretty bad so I just want to know before I buy it.
Edit: Tracert from here to us.battle.net is about 183ms and to kr.battle.net is 343ms so that could be a problem
|
Just wanted to ask again if any of you EU guys out there can play the game WITHOUT lag? coz i have lag (even though its minor, its affecting the game quite a bit...)...
EDIT: or does anybody have any tipps on how to reduce the lag?

I was playing on the Tw server this morning but now it shows a message when I try to login. Because it is not english I am not sure what it says. I am assuming it is just server maintenance. Anyone having the same problem?
|
It's server maintenance. I am having another problem, though..
I just patched my EU client and now it's saying "You must restart your game client and patch to the latest version before playing a multiplayer game".
My repair.exe doesnt work, either.. says:
22:30:41.6270 Failed to find version '1.3.5.19132' for product 'SC2' in the repair configuration.
I assume this is because it patched my TW client and something messed up? Perhaps in Documents ? Anyone else has the same problem? Redownloading the EU client, gonna try to reinstall (and then my TW client probably wont work.. lol)
Edit: To answer another above, I have ~350ms I'd say.. a good .3 second delay that makes it hard to micro, but its not unplayable. (From Denmark)

I had the same issue. I had to reinstall my English client + patch it back up all the way to make it work again. Got gold leauge on Taiwan, lost my last ZvZ placement. Lag is pretty huge for me, about 300-400ms but it's certainly playable. ZvZ however kinda sucks 
I'm just hoping I can use the Korean client to login to TW later and get a Korean nickname

i cant seem to log in to my tw account after the patch. what do i do? a screen pops up before i can log in and it says something but i cant read tw. anyone else get this?
|
server maintenance i think. same happened to me
|
wow. i lost all my account balance somehow =( anybody else get this?

Okay, for anyone else having the problem described earlier ( "You must restart your game client and patch to the latest version before playing a multiplayer game" ), this is how you solve it without having to reinstall the game.
Works on Windows 7, dont know about older platforms:
Open regedit.exe
Find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\StarCraft II.exe\shell\open\command
(Search for Starcraft if you want)
Modify (Default) REG_SZ to the Starcraft II.exe of your original installation (should have changed to your Taiwanese installation)
Run Repair.exe
You should now be able to play again
Edit:
vaan258 -> try logging into tw.battle.net

I haven't lost to a TW GM player yet. The top GM TW's are not on the same level as the NA GM's.

Press the left button (i believe thats the one) button to continue. It just say that those folders already exist

I pinged the servers and I average around 230-250 ms lag to both tw/kr. How noticeable of lag would that be?

How does one ping a server?

Go to your command prompt and type in: tracert kr.battle.net for korea tw.battle.net for taiwan eu for europe etc.

I went 3 gate blink vs zerg twice in my placement matches, I won once and I lost once. I would click my stalker and hit the blink hotkey and the delay was annoying to say the least. Then I went on my NA account and did the same build and it was like night and day. But generally the lag isn't *that* bad. (Playing from New York with a 35/35 line)

I am having a really hard time here.
I got the code, i have created the Bnet account, i have tried entering the code that offgamers supplied BUT bnet is coming up with this error ALL the time.
'an error has occurred. the authentication key you've entered cannot be claimed. Please try again'.
So they supplied me with two different things, a 'code' and a 'key'. I have tried both and neither works, both comes up with this same bloomin error. Halp plz.

only 29€ ? thats even cheaper then buying a eu account
as i understand so far the ping from america is "playable" and from euro "Impossible" ?
germany-taiwan/korea connection any experiances ?

I reported not being able to login to taiwan server. Now, I can. The reason was that 1.3.5 patch I downloaded and applied on the Net before tw server was patched.... I haven't laddered yet.

You need to use the code to "recharge" your account balance, and then use the 1150 credits to purchase the game.

2s delay is 2000 ms, i get 160-170 ms from central Canada (MST). There is no way for you to have 2s delay >.>
CoR you can play on any server with any client as long as you use the relocalizer, or use the MPQ editor and replace the current laguage with the core files of the language you want (or just the sounds if thats why you want the KR client). Both of these methods have threads here on TL. The merge has not happened yet no, that will happen next tuesday with the ladder reset.
|
What's the MPQ editor?
When the server merge happens I'd be interested in having my TW client display and play in Korean.
Does anybody know if... When the servers merge, we'd be able to play using the KR client?
Also, quick tip for everyone. THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE FIRST POST, YOU DO NOT "ADD OR UPGRADE A GAME" WHEN BUYING FROM OFFGAMERS, INSTED YOU NEED TO RECHARGE YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE, AND USE YOUR CODE TO GET 1150 PTS, USE THIS TO PURCHASE THE CD KEY ON BNET.
I did my 5 placement matches while offracing, got Diamond. Pretty cool so far.
Playing from NA, the lag seemed unnoticeable to me, I was able to micro effectively in multiple different situations with minimal problems.

If you buy from Offgamers do you need a verified paypal account. I tried to do it over CCgameshop but they refunded me after telling me I needed a verified paypal account. I would rather just do a purchase from a non account.
Or is there a way to get it verified without having to get a paypal mastercard or bank account link?
|
I'm not sure if my paypal account is verified(email verified maybe), but I was able to purchase from offgamers after confirming my telephone # and address. (well purchased before telephone confirmation but the key was sent to me within 5mins of verifying my telephone number). Offgamers also gives you warnings on your account page if either of these two things are not verified.

Which code ? I really don't understand. An already purchased CD key ? Or is there something else i've not been aware off ? I mean can you buy it without going to any gamer's sites or is that where you get the code and then type it on bnet ?
I'm sorry but i haven't been able to enter to any site because of asian websites not supporting opera's browser (can't get Iexplorer or firefox to work, Chrome is worse).

Zhurai, I translated what you posted and here's what I got:
"We will soon launch joint cross-warfare capabilities".
I figure this is the same as the NA-LA merger? From what I understand they've already released the patch that will assist the merger, but the merger itself won't happen until Tuesday. Meaning TW is still seperate from KR.
Also, from another post in this thread, it was mentioned that everything TW would basically get "wiped", you'll need to create a new name, your MMR is wiped. Basically it'll be like completely deleting the TW server and just introducing all the players to KR.
The same will happen for all the other mergers, I assume LA will be wiped to join NA, RU wiped to join EU, etc.

When you purchase from offgamers, after the payment is processed and your info (email, telephone and purchase method) are verified then your offgamers account will give you 2 numbers, one is a "serial", the other is a "code". This "code" is a 25 digit set of numbers, this is what you will use on the bnet page. When you're on the bnet page, just be sure you have your realm set to Taiwan, then when you go to "recharge your account", you will be able to put in that code. When you do (and bnet accepts) your bnet account will have 1150 pts. Use these 1150 pts to add SC2 to your games. Once this is done, you're done! TW SC2 will officially be in your account.

Zhurai, I translated what you posted and here's what I got:
"We will soon launch joint cross-warfare capabilities".
I figure this is the same as the NA-LA merger? From what I understand they've already released the patch that will assist the merger, but the merger itself won't happen until Tuesday. Meaning TW is still seperate from KR.
Also, from another post in this thread, it was mentioned that everything TW would basically get "wiped", you'll need to create a new name, your MMR is wiped. Basically it'll be like completely deleting the TW server and just introducing all the players to KR.
The same will happen for all the other mergers, I assume LA will be wiped to join NA, RU wiped to join EU, etc.
google translate sometimes translates preeeeeeeeeetty funny shit.
Hmm... yeah it's a patch to assist the merge yeah, just looked at the patch notes for NA/US region for the same "part" of the patch notes
Players from Latin America and North America will soon be able to play games together, add each other to their in-game friends list, and compete on the same ladder. For more information on region linking, please visit the official community site.
just replace Latin America and North America with Taiwan and Korea and you get it, so yeah, you're right.. I read the US patch notes too fast, they are going to _soon_ be merged (most likely at S3)

Really? I wasnt asked to choose a new name / have my mmr reset when I played today after the patch. I thought this was part of the tw -> korea swap. TW players would have their MMR/Names reset and that has not happened to me. I'm still playing GM players on TW, and have not seen one korean name out of every game i've played in the past few days. TW most certainly has NOT merged with KR yet.

So they supplied me with two different things, a 'code' and a 'key'. I have tried both and neither works, both comes up with this same bloomin error. Halp plz.

The annoying thing about the Taiwanese zergs I played yesterday was that they literally had no concept of drone timings.
They put down the tech structure and just pumped only units so by the time I got there (a timing where a NA zerg would have just started making units) they had all this shit and about 15 drones per hatch.

so they are to bad to beat ? i think when you scout so less drones (i heard its common on tw) then just not attack macro and take the win
ps: after region linking, is there ANY WAY to play on this tw/kr server with the TW acc from a korean gameclient ? i would love to have the account on korean instead of chinese.

How bad is the latency? From europe.
30€ is cheap but it's still 30€, no need to throw it away if it's unplayable.

OK got the client downloading now, all worked from offgamers just fine for me was just over 40 bucks Now, here is to hoping the latency is good from Pacific NW USA to KR :D
Edit: anyone else have it take FOREVER to download? I am getting barley over 100k down... wtf
OR why it is uploading at 50-70K??? wtf is it uploading that much for? what is it uploading lol... its taking over my internets!!
EDIT2: this should maybe be added to the OP:
If your downloading the client, turn OFF peer 2 peer downloading in the options, holy crap took me from about 80k down and it SUCKING about 50K up making even internet browsing unusable to now downloading at 225-250k and not uploading anything since it isn't talking to the peers anymore. Working WAY better now.

Haha the Taiwanese GM players can't be THAT bad can they? back when I first got my Korean account I was barely master's on NA, so not very good at all. I placed into plat on Korea and then lost a bunch of games because I was getting used to the lag. Once I got used to it though and stopped being intimidated by the Korean playstyle, I realized that they weren't THAT special. Worked my way back up through high gold/plat with like 70-80% win and got put in diamond before I went back to laddering on NA because I didn't like the lag (even though I learned to play with it).
So I don't think the skill gap between TW GM and KR should be all that different (if I had to guess, I'd say the TW GMs would probably be diamond/master's), though granted I've never played on TW server. One thing I will say though is, i would watch the replays of some of the gold/plat players on Korea and many of them had like 150-200 APM and very clean execution of opening build orders, on par with master's level on NA. However, they would then tend to either 1) do some really weird strategy that didn't make sense, 2) not be able to keep up in a macro game, or 3) just fall apart in any sort of game that required a decent amount of decision-making.
So I think that's the biggest difference I've picked up on between NA and KR. I've smurfed on friends' accounts on NA at gold/plat/dia levels and a good portion of those opponents had a good working idea of what kind of strats/builds were good and what were bad, what counters what, etc, except their execution/apm/micro would be very poor. And almost everyone I talked to in these leagues would say they watched Day9/Husky/etc, so basically the situation was that they all knew a lot about the game, but things like mechanics held them back.
On Korea, it seems to be the opposite - lots of people have decent mechanics, but decision-making and overall strategy is what separates the lower level players from the higher ones.

Disable the Peer2Peer, under View-Preferences, uncheck enable peer-to-peer transfer, then it should work fine, you might be behind a firewall that is blocking the p2p connections.

Has anyone from Hawaii picked up a Taiwanese account? I'm wondering how the latency will be. (Hopefully not very bad at all, since it's closer-ish)
|
Thanks OP. Easy to do and it worked for me in Florida. I have no real lag at all from the first 5 matches I have played. Seems as if I was playing on NA tbh.
Got mine from offgamers in 10 min if anyone was wondering.
|
My e-check is going through on the 27th, the day after season 3 and the server merger are implemented, so I'll get my Taiwanese account a day or two after season 3 starts, will everything still work out fine?
|
For reference sake of everyone, I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and the latency to TW is negligible. I can micro almost 100% just as easily as I can on NA.

I have cousins who grew up in Taiwan and they all know/listen to American music, follow American pop culture, etc. You probably wouldn't be able to have an extensive conversation with them face-to-face in English but if you write something they'd be able to read it and write something back.

The only issue I got is that the site in the OP had it out of stock, so I got it from http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015. Here are the steps that I followed. I have an account working, downloaded the client from Blizzard and am playing now in the Taiwanese server. (Note: I recommend to use google chrome to get the site it translated from Chinese, since you can get the site translated without affecting the scripting functionality. I tried other translation tools and broke the site for me and I couldn't complete the purchase.) Important note: I used the process outlined below with Paypal. Do note that your Paypal account needs to have been "verified". The ccgameshop site requires it. If you don't have your Paypal account verified, then the order will go through, but then you will have to provide proof to the Chinese site that in fact it is you who own the account since your paypal order will appear to come from an account that is not verified. And until that proof is given you'll get nothing in return. I'd recommend you verify the account through Paypal itself (it is usually a process where they give you a phone call with a code so you can entere it in the paypal site itself). That way the verification is through Paypal and not a games site. Another thing is that you can call or email the site Chinese site itself to let them know if you are stuck in the transaction and provide the order number from the member center as well as the paypal confirmation number. They have limited English, but I managed to get the message across. 1. Register and create an account in ccgameshop.com.hk. 2. Once logged in, go into the member center within ccgameshop and click on "send verification email" so that an email can be sent to your email to verify the account. 3. Go to your email and check for the mail from them. Most likely it will go into your junk folder since it contains many Chinese characters.This took about 5 minutes to get. 4. Click on the link in that email and then you will get your account verified. If you go to the user center it will now say that "you are a registered user level". 5. Now go into the link http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015 to purchase this 1150 BNET points card. 6. Click on the "add to shopping cart". 7. Click to "check out". 8. It will ask you to enter your name and address. I put USA/Canada as region and Central America for the second drop down. Third drop down nothing populated so I left it like that. All fields must be filled, so I put "Nothing" under landmark and "Anytime" in delivery time. Also you ahve to use the format 1555123456 for the phone number and must be the same for both fields. 9. Continue with the check-out process and you will get to select answer three questions: a. Delivery method - Select "system sends you message" which means that if the item purchased is a virtual good or game card, they'll send you the code via email or in-site message. b. Payment method - Select "paypal". c. Other information - I put nothing here. d. Submit order. 10. A button will appear that will send you to Paypal, click it. 11. Log into paypal and purchase the account. You will get confirmation from paypal that the item has been purchased. 12. Go to the member center and under "My order" you will see an item with Order number, the amount paid (in this case 317.20 Yuan for now) and Order status. It will take about 30-45 minutes from Paypal to give confirmation to CCgameshop. 13. Once the payment went through, it will take another 30-45 minutes for the site to send you the virtual number of the card. Once this confirmation happens, go into "My order" in the User Center and wait until it says "confirmed, paid". Then click in the link on the order number to show the details. 14. Within the "order status" click on "send/view businesses message" and you will see a message that gives you a serial number of about 25 digits. 15. Go to your NA BNET account and go to Starcraft and then account management. The link should be https://us.battle.net/account/management/16. Go to the address bar in the browswer and change the us->tw so the link should read now https://tw.battle.net/account/management/index.xml. Nothing will change and the language is still in English, but now there is a dropdown in the right with "points" for your account balance. 17. Click on the account balance and select "recharge account option". 18. Enter the serial code you got from ccgameshop here. It will say "success" and you'll have 1150 points. 19. Return again to your account management https://tw.battle.net/account/management and select "buy digital games". Verify that you are in the Taiwan region in the top right. Click on Starcraft 2 and it will show the option to purchase trial or unlimited. Go for unlimited which costs exactly 1150. 20. Congratulations! You just purchased a Taiwanese account under your name, linked to the NA account that you have, and without having to give your creditcard and information to someone else. 21. Download the zhTW cliente (Chinese) or get a relocalizer. Enjoy!
Thanks

Nope, you can add the game to your current battle.net account, no weird questions or TW NID to enter, works great! just remember to double check your at tw.battle.net when you purchase the actual game while logged in, it redirected me randomly once back to us.battle.net during the process

As a note to those wondering about latency:
I live in the pacific NW of the USA
...and played about 12 games last night on TW, lag was, shit you not, BETTER than I get to NA, not a single studder the whole time, never noticed any lag or spikes. I get spikes all the time on NA ladder.
Edit: adding in speedtest results...
To fastest local ping server it found:

Click on the link in that email and then you will get your account verified. If you go to the user center it will now say that "you are a registered user level". 5. Now go into the link http://www.ccgameshop.com.hk/goods.php?id=2015 to purchase this 1150 BNET points card. 6. Click on the "add to shopping cart". 7. Click to "check out". 8. It will ask you to enter your name and address. I put USA/Canada as region and Central America for the second drop down. Third drop down nothing populated so I left it like that. All fields must be filled, so I put "Nothing" under landmark and "Anytime" in delivery time. Also you ahve to use the format 1555123456 for the phone number and must be the same for both fields. 9. Continue with the check-out process and you will get to select answer three questions: a. Delivery method - Select "system sends you message" which means that if the item purchased is a virtual good or game card, they'll send you the code via email or in-site message. b. Payment method - Select "paypal". c. Other information - I put nothing here. d. Submit order. 10. A button will appear that will send you to Paypal, click it. 11. Log into paypal and purchase the account. You will get confirmation from paypal that the item has been purchased. 12. Go to the member center and under "My order" you will see an item with Order number, the amount paid (in this case 317.20 Yuan for now) and Order status. It will take about 30-45 minutes from Paypal to give confirmation to CCgameshop. 13. Once the payment went through, it will take another 30-45 minutes for the site to send you the virtual number of the card. Once this confirmation happens, go into "My order" in the User Center and wait until it says "confirmed, paid". Then click in the link on the order number to show the details. 14. Within the "order status" click on "send/view businesses message" and you will see a message that gives you a serial number of about 25 digits. 15. Go to your NA BNET account and go to Starcraft and then account management. The link should be https://us.battle.net/account/management/16. Go to the address bar in the browswer and change the us->tw so the link should read now https://tw.battle.net/account/management/index.xml. Nothing will change and the language is still in English, but now there is a dropdown in the right with "points" for your account balance. 17. Click on the account balance and select "recharge account option". 18. Enter the serial code you got from ccgameshop here. It will say "success" and you'll have 1150 points. 19. Return again to your account management https://tw.battle.net/account/management and select "buy digital games". Verify that you are in the Taiwan region in the top right. Click on Starcraft 2 and it will show the option to purchase trial or unlimited. Go for unlimited which costs exactly 1150. 20. Congratulations! You just purchased a Taiwanese account under your name, linked to the NA account that you have, and without having to give your creditcard and information to someone else. 21. Download the zhTW cliente (Chinese) or get a relocalizer. Enjoy!

Anyone know if you will be able to sign in from the Korean Client when the servers merge? Or will you be forced to use Taiwan client or relocalize?

Been playing past few hours on tw. 200ms at the most usually hovering 100-150 doesn't feel like there's any lag

Lol, I accidentally click "yes" for the practice league >_>
Fun fact, practice league still uses:
Blistering sands
Steppes of War
Kulas Ravine
Desert Oasis
All novice versions :D

I did this too, but instead of playing the practice league, in the info panel when 1v1 is selected is a button you can press to leave the league and progress normally.

Just purchased, thank you, OP!
Do client relocalizers work for the current patch? Gonna start downloading just in case...

I already have a Latin America acc, anyone know if I can switch to TW ou KR?

Yeah, I wanted to play in practice league to test the latency and I accidentally left it
No problem though, 5 - 0 in my placements, really easy, latency wasn't bad either.

Any help?

Dont think that'd work. You have to get a korean copy tho

The only lag I get is the first few seconds at the start of every game but then it smooths out no problem at all.
went 4-1 in my placements, gold lol (diamond in NA)

my TW sc2 keeps updating and closing? .. is this normal?

Considering the TW server is in Seoul, I'm not sure why it's relevant what his ping to TW is. You can stutter step just fine with marines if you get used to the latency. I play on NA about half the time, and once I can get accustomed to the latency, I don't really have any trouble with micro. It certainly doesn't help to have 200-250 ms, but it's not like it's full of loss.

Noli, theres plenty of documentation regarding the swap. If you are on TW you will be requested to choose a new name when the switch occurs, and your MMR will be reset. You do keep all of your portraits achievements etc. Players on KR stay with what they got, MMR and all. It's almost like a clean slate except for achievements and portraits for TW accounts.
Been playing on TW, bout 30 games in. After 20 games have gotten only GM players (went like 18-2 or something with 2 pvp losses). Kind of funny, I did my placement matches, won all 5, and was placed in platinum. So now i'm tearing up these tw GM players and if they look at my stats I look like some scrub. Kind of funny. The top tw GM's seem quite even to NA GM players. Played 3 or 4 top 50 and 6 or 7 top 150 so far, It's just how I feel about them so far. Got 52 points for my first gm win. I'm actually really shocked the ranking system pairs platinum players with GM hidden MMR or not I feel that's kinda broken. Nothing but GM for the past 12 or so games, sure there is the ladder lock but really? I'd rather just bash some masters or plat players for these last few days >.> . Never heard of StorM before playing a variety of their players on the ladder. They're pretty damn good.
I feel many of these tw players open sub-optimally from the rest of the world. Every gm pvz ive played the Z opens some like no gas spanishiwa (14p 16h?) style but without the extra queens and mass spinecrawler. Plus they take a real quick third (30 supply usually). I dont know how they get away with it, I can kill the expo with 3gate pressure after 2 warpins off 28/28 gates, or open 2gate voidray expand and get a free hatch, and sometimes straight up with with dt expand. with the 3gate expo you are vulnerable to ling counters but it's pretty map specific. perhaps they play vs forge expo every game. I haven't lost to a TW GM player yet. The top GM TW's are not on the same level as the NA GM's. last GM player i faced made 36 drones in the entire game. and I mean made. He probably was only mining with 25 or so....... ... ... what
It's no different than SEA as compared to NA or LA as compared to NA. The servers are so small and practically all the good players in those regions play on the bigger server.
Before I stopped playing on SEA, I had no trouble doing random cheeses on a lot of SEA's GMs. Moon went something like 51-0 at the beginning of this season, and he's a solid player, but he's not exactly one of the top players in the world.
Up until the server merge (and I expect there will be a surge in foreigners judging by this thread and the ease of getting TW account) top master/low GM on NA is equivalent to mid-high diamond on Korea.
Two of my good friends who are top 250 EU and top 250 NA respectively are struggling to make master for next season. It's not just the latency, but just the skill gap is so large on the server.
I'd say I'm a low-mid master level player for the most part, and it took several "games of my life" for me to finally get promoted into diamond.
Also, Excalibur told me that on "promotion day" on the major servers where the Master/Diamond and Bronze/Silver thresholds were shrunk and the entire ladder shifted down a few hundred points, Korea's actually went up, and a lot of players (including myself, but only for a few team leagues) actually got demoted.
So, not only are the players generally much better on the korean server up until the highest end of the ladder where the gap diminishes, but making Master on the Korean server is more difficult in general due to slightly higher cutoffs. (or at least that's the theory the last time I looked at MMR, which was right when promotion day happened)
But basically if you aren't GM or top masters, I think you'll find it difficult to make it into master 1v1, and if you aren't high GM, I think you'll find it difficult to make high master.
Code B/Top200 is so hyper-competitive with guys that have the luxury of practicing in team houses for 10-15 hours a day with guys who cook for them, pick up after them, and do their laundry, and unless you have that kind of time, you're not going to sniff the ~top 1000.

Yep, accurate price. When I bought it it showed I think 40.73 CAD, it cost my paypal exactly 40.73 CAD.
The displayed price is accurate.
Also michael, good point about Seoul, I didn't take that into consideration when testing my speeds. Though I guess lag to Taipei could be considered when you think of where most of my opponents are playing from ATM.

I was under the impression that client-side game-hosting was done away with after brood war. In what way does opponent's latency affect you and/or your latency?

I'm not 100% certain how it works but I know that if one player lags, everyone lags. I experience this nearly daily when I play with a certain friend of mine who has a terrible connection. I also remember clearly a ladder game against someone from Africa where the lag was absolutely unbearable.

As far as I know this has to do with loss, not latency.

Are you sure, because I do not think that you can as you have a TW account, not KR, and the merge has already happened btw....
You would have to get the KR client then re localize to TW, just like if you wanted to play TW on your NA client.

When season 3 starts it'll change and you'll have to get a new ID and your MMR is reset. Believe me, you'll know when the servers have been merged

My paypal is verified, its just been a few hours and it still says I haven't paid on the website. I'm wondering how long it took other people to get the website to accept the paypal payment and then how long it took to get the code for the points after that. I'm wondering if its still the ~2 days other people reported.

After I verified with off gamers, took about 10-15 minutes to receive my key.
Minimat, rename your starcraft 2 folder, and also rename the Starcraft II folder in my documents. It will then let you install just fine.

Used OP site(offgamers), 43$ just make sure you enter the Code you get in the Account balance area of tw.battlenet. After that you can buy the game and good to DL. Took me 3mins if you dont include the 20 mins of looking where to enter my code.

You must change the name of 2 maps :
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II
into
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II (EU) or US for you
--
C:\Users\Vladix\Documents\StarCraft II
into
C:\Users\Vladix\Documents\StarCraft II (EU)
documents = my documents
You might have to type programdata in yourself as the map is hidden ( on my pc )
Did this last night and i got the install working for me after it.
GL with it and if you need any ingame help just pm me vladix.573 on taiwan

ahhhh thank u for the help saved alot of headaches

Haha, I went into the cow channel, or whatever it's called, and there were 3 taiwanese grandmasters there, all of them had "Storm" in their name. It was kind of awkward

Not an error, just telling you that the folder doesn't exist and is asking you to create it, took me 2 times to get past it, just click one of the buttons (one says ok one says cancel) until you find the ok button and all will be well

Anyone has succesfully logged on KR server with KR client after buying TW acc ?

KR and TW should be merged by 1 pm NA tomorrow
Its supposed to be at 7/18 4:00 am
Really wierd because SEA already has season 3 and their time is pretty similar.

Does the link still work. I cant read Chinese, but its a picture of a blizzard logo, and its cheaper than the OP said it was.

how come some people were saying they were linked @_@ it says on the taiwanese server on the left when u login 7/27 4:00 so im guessing that dashiz is right :D cant wait to poaly with koreans tommorw

hey i just got a card for 42 dollars and it says its "veryifing" its been saying this for about 2 hours anybody know when it will be done?

just made the transaction on offgamers site using the tutorial and my order is currently pending... i thought it was an instant delivery of the code as long as you paid with a verified paypal?
|
@CDCramer: Took me several hours. Just be patient it'll happen. There's probably some other verification crap after that too so be prepared for that as well.

|
Does anyone know if you can log into both accounts at once? Like for example if the gf wants to play starjewled on my NA account while im laddering in TW/KR. Will it let you do this/is it against the rules??
I have both copies under the same battle.net account fyi

|
For those that don't know how to use the CD key :
Go to battle.net and login
Then go to buy digital game
Change game location to Taiwan, this is an option on your right side of the screen.
Now when it changed to Taiwan you got a new option called add account balance.
Click it and select recharge account.
Now fill in the like 25 digit code here and you get added game credits.
With these you can buy the digital version of SC 2.
If there are any questions just ask.

42 dollars, not bad latency at all and working quite well. good investment

我們將在7月28日早上04:00開始進行Battle.Net的維護，預估維護時間大約為8小時。維護期間玩家將無法正常進行遊戲與登入Battle.net，且無法進行《星海爭霸II》的帳號管理、遊戲儲值與網站內容查詢，維護期間過後，即可正常使用，不便之處，敬請見諒。
So they are also (According to/using google translate), also under maintenance
(which for us/NA we had maintenance for awhile before S3+region linking started)
if we also use NA as a baseline, then they'll have a post talking about S3 and about the region linking shortly after, and there isn't any such post.
TL;DR: Yeah, both TW and KR are most likely in maintenance before their S3 and region linking. Also during this time apparently their account management is supposedly down from what google translate says
|
this must have been answered a hundred times, but is EU -> KR playable, i mean latency.

Anyone knows if it's possible to log on KR client with taiwan account ? I truly hope it's possible but so far still getting language package error

Me too, just tried it. Not sure if the servers have come out of maintenance yet though.

Servers are up. I just now tried logging onto with a KR client with an TW account and it did not work.

"verifying" means you have to verify your email address and phone number in the account page before they will give you the key. This is an anti-fraud measure. This should have been told to you in the emails they sent you when making the account and purchasing the card.
Can not log into KR Client with TW account. Is the region for sure linked (I did not have to change my ID when logging in TW, but it seems my MMR was reset as I have to do 5 placements). Can anyone confirm that TW and KR are linked, because if they are i'm going to have to re localize the KR client to TW so I get the KR sounds etc.

yes the two are linked, (im currently lurking in the NEX channel, quite fun)
and how do you relocalize to get KR sounds?

You have to use the taiwanese client, you could relocalize it however.

I'll agree that message sucks, however I actually prefer the font style, even if I can't read it, it seems less obtuse. The lag doesn't seem to be that bad either, though I am playing from Seattle.

Yeah, playing from WA has zero lag.

Is it possible to play on kor in english or are u screwed? I guess maybe u can use that eng > kor rename trick, but that's a last resort unless it's the only way.

playing from east coast with 150-200 latency barely noticable cheers ^^
|
Man, on TW/KR server, I need to do the usual 5 placement matches? sucks...

I'm trying to enter my serial code into the redeem code page and it comes up with the error
"An error has occurred. The eBalance code redemption service is currently unavailable. Please try again later. "
Does the service go down at certain parts of the day? or has anyone else experience this constantly?
EDIT: Nevermind ITS FIXED
|
Pingtest.net gives me about 250ms to Seoul, is that about the same ping I'll get if I choose to play on the KR server?
|
Placed gold. 4-2 so far.
I'm from Pennsylvania (east coast USA) and I can play very well. My stutterstep micro and split micro will take some practice to get down with 200 latency.
Having tons of fun.

Whats your league in NA? Are you finding its more difficult on the KR server?

So i did everything successful. Many thanks to thread starter!
I have some problem with naming my sc2 account though.
Anyone who experienced something similar? Wondering why i Norway does not work. :S

Im platinum on NA with a ~60-70% win rate.
At gold level play, you can see that KR has a more aggressive play style and dont GG as early/easily as NA, but it's hard to tell if it's harder with so few games played.
I will say this though:
TvT: iEchoic build works more effectively at this level of play than on NA
TvP: Marine/marauder+concussive 2rax pressure is hard when toss is super aggressive and better micro than me (90% win rate when i do this pressure on NA)
TvZ: Only played 2 TvZ but the aggressiveness seems to be exploitable. Overcommit w/ muta harass even with many thor on field
EDIT: A lot of proxy rax/gateways. Deception is their best strategy o_O
|
Wow, a 70% win rate? I thought that everybody's win ratio trends towards 50% unless you are GM.
|
Which chat channel you guys are in on TW/KR server?
|
Channel is teamliquid obviously... yesterday I think it peaked at like 7 people though, there aren't that many people doing this. I am personally having a blast though... plus I like the idea of playing in KR for a while before even trying the NA ladder again, just to see what happens. (1600 pt. master last season in NA, still have to finish placement matches in KR)

If you're starting a fresh new account (which is the case for people going abroad in servers) and are actually decent at the game, you'll accomplish 70-80% win ratio easily... until you finally start playing players your level. Only difference is where you end up placing in leagues.
Really, don't expect to play against GSL stars until you can actually win all the way up there.

Is anybody else unable to log on TW server after patch 1.3.6 (the one that just came out)?????!!!!! =(
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WK9oi.jpg) (First message)
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pOuZg.jpg) (Second message)
EDIT: i found the following on a TL Bnet status thread!
7월 29일 (금) Battle.net 임시 점검 안내
7월 29일 금요일 오전 6시부터 Battle.net 임시 점검 작업이 진행될 예정입니다.
■ 점검 시간: 7월 29일 오전 6시 ~ 오전 10시 (2시간 연장)
■ 점검 내용: 스타크래프트 II 1.3.6 패치 적용을 위한 Battle.net 임시 점검 작업
■ 작업 영향: 점검 시간 동안 스타크래프트 II 게임 이용 불가
신속하고 안정적으로 작업을 완료할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다.
This indicates that the Korean server (which the TW server is now part of) is down until 10am Korean time (8PM CDT), so a little over an hour from now (as of this edit). The downtime is due to investigation into errors caused by patch 1.3.6 (ie: exactly what I ran into! ^.^)
|
I'm getting the same pair of messages as Shenaniguns. The first image reads "Temporarily unable to connect to Battle.net. Please check your internet connection."
The second reads "You require a language pack authorized by blizzard entertainment to use this language."
The first sounds like it might just be a temporary server outage. The second I'm not sure how to fix. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a Korean characters name on the TW client? It doesn't seem to be allowing me to type in there.
Basically I'm trying to type in a name in Korean but it won't work, seems like only Latin characters and Chinese work.

No you can't. You could try to relocale the korean client to see if that works.

So I got the TW account with no problems and logged on once a few days ago and it worked fine. Now I'm getting what seems to be an error message before the login screen comes up and then it just has my email address with no box for the password. Does anyone know what error this is? Does it have to do with a problem downloading the new patch maybe? I haven't been able to find anything with the digging I've done so far.
|
Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here. I bought the game off the site mentioned but none of the codes it gave me work when i try to add it in Battlenet. Is there a step I'm missing here?
Edit: I'm a total fool!, all works now. Thanks Op and other posters :D

Argh ive been trying to find a way to get it for hours, offgamers eems to be the best route but it simply wont letme verify my phone, calls nor texts works, ive tried about 40 time. Idk what to do

Give the ccgamers link a chance. I couldn't pay through the Mycard site nor the Offgamers site (Paypal got refunded for some unknown reason despite phone verification), so I tried ccgamers which gave me my Battle.net 1150 Point Card about an hour after the Paypal transaction went through. It seems kinda dodgy at first but it turned out fine for me (your mileage, of course, may vary).

Can I log in the Korean client with a TW account?

if you relocalize... you cant use a TW account to log into the korean version.
You dont need to though, just log onto TW as they share the same ladder

Hey guys, before buying the TW SC2 I want to make sure that I have a nice ping.
I know that my ISP is very bad but I'm from Eastern EU - Bulgaria and that's not as far as many people are to KR/TW server's location somewhere in Korea.
Is there a way to ping the servers. I had some success with tracert ( in cmd ) but I don't think that it's accurate enough when you don't know which of the IPs is the servers' ones.
Any help would be needed

Pingtest.net and ping their server in Seoul, Korea. It's not exactly Battle.net but everyone seems to believe that to be a good enough solution.

Whats an acceptable ping speed to be able to play in decent conditions on the KR server?

Well, I asked how to ping the bnet servers directly because with pingtest I have 444ms to Seoul and I think that's a little too much :D

I used speedtest.net, and get 199ms ping to KR and it plays with almost no detectable lag.

I used the website and it worked, delivery came in 10 minutes, its 1150 points which is enough to buy the unlimited time TW version which is about $41 in Canada, when you are inputting the credit you have to use recharge account on the TW battle.net where it shows 0 point or whatever.

No you need the Taiwan client to play with a Taiwan account. You could however get the Korean client and use relocalizer, though MPQ editing could potentially get you banned.

It isn't WOW stuff and it isn't a serial you can reclaim - use the code to "recharge the account balance" and using the account balance, buy the game from battlenet.

You cannot play on the KR client with the TW account. You need to localize it and you can make it have the korean sounds. There's a thread somewhere else that says how.

This I can second that. I have both clients and KR would not work unless you relocalize it, but if you do that you may as well use the EU/US client...

The button on the left is back to previous page.
For the 2 buttons on the right, the top button allows u to change the install directory while the bottom one proceeds on with the installation steps.

after enduring the bitter hell that is buying a card i finally have my code.
TW sites down
...
|
I am having trouble getting back on NA. Every Starcraft client I open automatically goes to the TW server. Help? O.o
Also is TW/KR down right now? It won't let me log in but I was online like 3 minutes ago and it was fine.

yeah tws down.
Anyway did you install tw to a new folder? this is what i was saying you have to put each install in its own folder or this will happen
if not then you need to redownload the other clients and make sure to have a seperate install folder for each thing

I played then it went down, if you check on the sticky with the server statuses it says korea is down for weekly maintenance so i assume tw went down with it. Did you meet any koreans?

havn't been able to connect yet that's why i'm so sad. just wanna now it's same for you ;p sorry I can't answer your question. t.t

Anyone still looking for some Bnet points for TW Account?
Due to my initial problems with Mycard, i ended up with 2000 points i couldnt spend, but recently they restored the facility on their site.
So, i have 1150 bnet points (the cost of SC2 Taiwan) for anyone who is interested. Look me up via PM , or on skype at tcurtin88

So can people confirm the region link has gone through as yet?

Ok, so I created my TW account fine and I downloaded it ok as well, however when I go to install it, it just starts the NA client, what do I do?
|
hi,
I wanted to know how OffGamers (http://www.offgamers.com/starcraft/starcraft-ii-tw-hk/starcraft-ii-cd-key-c-4183-6056-6057.ogm) can sell TW/KR account for 40 dollars CAD, whereas another alternative site, SC2SEA (http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=1883) is selling for 59.99 AUD, which is ~60 CAD.
So, how can OffGamers sell for 20$ cheaper?
Thanks
|
@neptunesak SC2SEA is expensive that's why, maybe they are actually selling the game too instead of mycard points...but they end up being the same thing anyways
|
I was about to buy a 1 month pass to try out the latency but the newly-announced SC2 starter edition allows you to try out any server, and you can always upgrade to a full account. No need to buy a 1 month pass to try out latency now!
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3250656#blog
Edit: Might wanna include this info in the OP so people know they can test the latency for free

i just bought and when i try to enter the code i get an error saying its for another region. im trying to input it on sea.battle.net is this the right battle net or which do i need to make an account on?
|
I just bought the game aswell and got the same error as kl3zero. It says the code is for another region.
Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

For people constantly asking about whether or not Taiwan has merged with Korea I can confirm YES it has. It's been merged for about a week or so now. I wish people would do a little research or read previous posts before asking.
Below is a screenshot I took of the custom game search list. As you can see there's a mix of both Taiwan game names and Korean game names.

So, OP was talking about 75$, price on the link is 30e. Did they like cut 50% of the price or is the product something else? It says battle.net on picture, but I have no idea what the text is.
Google translator says something about battle card but it's so broken that I can't be sure what it really is.

I'd like to know this aswell, because this 30 euros thing looks more like it could be the 30-day version ?
I'd like to know if I buy the game now and activate it on the TW region can I then login with the Korean client so I can have the hangul and the korean voices ?

How do you make TW starters account? It asks NID when making one, whihc I obviously don't have. How about a walkthrough?
EDIT: Ok, got one. Wasn't that hard actually and for my great suprise that site didn't scam me, even though it toke a few hours to get key. And online key generators work perfectly for the NID requirement.

Hi everyone!

Any idea???

Ok, I've got the code from offgamers, but it shows an error every time I put it in.
I made my account on SEA, and if I put the code in there it has an error. + Show Spoiler +The game key you entered cannot be claimed. Please check the key and try again. Alternatively, you can enter this key for a different region by changing the leading part of the www.battle.net URL (ex. “eu.battle.net”) in your web browser, or for a different Battle.net account
If I go change the language so the URL reads tw.battle.net, I enter the same code in the same spot and it shows the same error.
Any help? ;;

You change you region near the stop right in your battle.net account to Taiwan. Then you enter the code your purchased under Account > Recharge Account. Then you goto SC2 and buy the 1150 Unlimited time and download the client.

Worked for me! Thanks OP! It did take some figuring out though ... I took screen shots and will write up an exact in detailed "for dummies" step by step...
Edit: And make sure when you create a b.net account you use your region (US/Canada for example) and then change the url in the address bar from us.battle.net to tw.battle.net and it'll reload the page to the correct region ... make sure you are DOUBLE CHECKING what region it says, it'll even say the "digital download is for region: taiwan" ignore the "warning" that may or may not appear about retail copies will be in the region purchased in... that just means that if you bought a copy from gamestop then it'll force you to use that cd key for NA... Now i have 3 SC accounts ... >.< i should go get a russian one... haha

Hey guys. I am going to test my latency with pingtest.net and I was wondering whats the range of pings that are generally okay for gaming. Also, the current price is ~42 dollars on offgamers correct? Thanks for the help!

Just bought a TW account for € 32,88
Quite a fair price, considering that i paid via paysafecard which i got from across the street!
Europe is awesome i heard you lot across the sea pay like 60 dollars?!
so i bought the 1150 pts. card, redeemed it via bnet and was able to choose between regions.
very awesome indeed.
this is my first post on TL, too bad HuK is not going to read this

i got the proper installation files for the korean client, which actually does work for me.
problem is, for the korean client it seems that you need an age verification and i think also a korean account. but hey here it is:
https://kr.battle.net/account/download/index.xml
google is your friend, mate
but you wont be able to use it!
as for the taiwan client, did you do any editing in order to get it working properly?
my installation always cancels at 5 %.

Hi all,
Got the game installed -- purchased through offgamers. I bought the full version instead of the 150 point trail.
I can login, but I keep getting this popup and I'm not sure what it means -- when I click the yellow button, it takes me to the upgrade page on blizz's site which is offline, atm:

simply use the relocalizer! it works for me that way now and that PERFECTLY.
on page 69 - 71 u will find the 1.3.6 version
change your localization to #135 if you have the taiwan account!
i played the first ladder game and i smashed my opponent hard :D
you can switch between those localizations and only use one client

one of the codes is going to charge your bnet account with 1150 points and those points
can be exchanged for games, in this case sc2.

Alright, I'm at the install screen, can anyone show me where to save the game directory and what to do? I'm really confused and need help. Thanks
edit: nevermind, I figured it out.

Before i buy the TW version i want to be sure its playable. im will paly from Latin America (Peru) and i made some speed tests (ping) between Lima - Seoul and the ersults were 300ms average, it can be played without mayors problems?
|
Hows the latency from eu?
|
Ymm I play from England, and its playable, for me latency isnt so big. I can see sometimes delays about 0.5 sec but that is like 4 times per game And some of old Wc3 players said that the latency is like on old Battlenet in warcraft 3, so its playable from europe. So the biggest delay is like 0.3 sec i noticed yet.

I have my taiwan account ready, and I am downloading the tw client now. Am I ready to go after this? No more magic to work, I just launch the TW client, and use my TW username/pw?
Currently 3 more hours for the client to download, I'm so excited

i downloaded the last version of the reloccalizer and now its working (i had the 40% problem too). ive played like 11 games in TW/KR almost no lag, im so happy.
i wanna know , what do the option 3: clean

To re-reiterate what others have said, you do not get a picture of CD-key through email, nor on the website.
Instead, you go to http://www.offgamers.com once you are done, you are given a 25 digit code, which gives you 1150 spending units on a BNET TW account, with that you buy yourself SC2 TW account on your BNET TW region.
As others have said:

I have a question, How do you switch back between regions? I played on the TW one, but i want to access my AM one but each time i open sc2 from any shortcut it goes to the TW one
Fixed it nvm

Yay! Won all placement games and placed in platinum. Thanks for the guide!

Anyone know where you can get just a 7 day card? It seems they exist but I can't figure out how to buy it, I'm not sure I can play with the lag or not so I wanted to try it out first.

Made an US account and got this message. http://i.imgur.com/YIrl1.png

I had the same thing pop up. As long as it says server: Taiwan, you are okay.

Not being able to understand Mandarin kinda sucks trying to install this lol.

1150 points is what it costs, just go to buy a digital account, change the region to taiwan then bam you got it once you pick sc2 and buy it

Does anyone know if you connect through a taiwanese server or does the connection go straight towards korean server. I'm asking this because I live on east coast and the ping from here to taiwan is like 400 ping compared to 200~ to korea according to pingtest.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this shit is fucking PRO it works perfectly im playing on the KR/TW server with english language and one installation of SC2 thanks to this thread and the 1.3.6 (currently) version of the relocalizer patch!
WIN
thankyou all of you pro motherfuckers!
|
|
|
Is it possible to do this WITH the korean client? I want to hear those cool korean voices T_T.
If so, how do you download the korean client
|
If i download the TW client will it fuck with my US version? downloading it to a diff area of my comp but still
|
I did it without a hitch. it think relocalizer is broken though unless someone knows how to make it work. Currently playing on TW/KR with TW lang.
ps diamond is like 6-700 + masters on NA.

No it won't as long as you install it to a different folder. I have a KR, NA, EU, and about to have TW client all installed but just in different folders. Works fine.

Thank you so much for the link! I just got it all set up, it saved my custom hot keys and even my graphics settings from my NA client! AWESOME!
Took me a while to activate the account, but I eventually got it!
I'm pretty happy, its really interesting playing games in 3 languages as well...

Sounds awesome, tempted to get an account myself, how is the latency from Aus?
|
So I bought an account and installed the client and the game worked fine.
I'm trying to log in today and I can put in my password but I get a message coming up that just says "Battle.net Connection Lost" and inside the message it just says "Battle.net" My options are to play offline or cancel.
Any ideas??? Teamliquid page says KR/TW server is online...
|
It means you're not using the Taiwan version and using the Korean one.

when i bought this from your link it wont work any ideas what if i got the wrong game. then i wasted money
aaaah fixed it now didnt know about the switch to taiwan on bnet puh worried for a while.

so i have a TW account now for some time, and as it was with the russian server they can now download any EU client (for example the german version of the game) and log in with the same username+pass normally (coz its the same region) & vice versa of course.
Now my question is how do I download the korean version of the game and log in it? when i searched the TL forum here there was a post about the kor client but as the OP said I had the same problem - some kind of "account error" when you try to download it via the blizzard downloader. so how do i get the korean game???
Thanks in advance
|
For some reason when I bought the Taiwanese version the order is canceled. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, the money is withdrawn from my bank account by "offgamers.com" but the order is over and over again canceled.

hey guys, i am living in taipei atm and i wanna buy sc2. i saw one in 7/11 but i dont know if it is limited or unlimited. are there any taiwanese or guys who bought sc2 right in taiwan shop

Hello, I've successfuly bought a Taiwanese SC2 attached to my new battle.net account.
I have 2 questions:
1- How can I make the bridge to KR is it via battle.net webpage or ingame?
2- I won't play in TW server, I want to play in KR server with KR language. Is there anyway to bypass downloading TW client and to download KR client instead?

that is my understanding, i could be wrong, as i said i don't have a taiwanese account, but everything ive heard is that buying a Taiwanese copy of the game is the best way to play koreans

When I installed the TW client, it overwrote my NA client, so I can't play on NA anymore without reinstalling. Anyone else have this problem?

they tell you in Chinese that you are about to overwrite your NA client so you probably hit the wrong button when they said that
just reinstall NA and put them in separate folders and you will be okay. it happened to me too

You need to do this.
Rename your Starcraft II folder located in Program Files (X86) to Starcraft II NA.
Rename your Starcraft II folder located in Program Data > Blizzard Entertainment to Starcraft II NA.
Then just install the next client you're installing.
The renaming just put NA/EU/KR/TW or whatever.
For help installing here are some screenshots of the KR install path and guided assistance once you're done with renaming.
+ Show Spoiler +
If images dont load here are the direct links:
+ Show Spoiler +
The renaming portion is what I have done on all 4 versions of the client and no issues whatsoever. Just patch day can be a little -_-;
As for the TW client, its automatically merged with the KR server. Just as RU did with EU and LA with NA. No option to choose, it just directly logs into that server.
|
Just bought mine, the directions listed are perfect and I had no issues. I will install when I get home.

Yep anytime. I had a few people send me some PM's and ask me how I was able to get all 4 client installs on one hard drive with no issues and I know others either had some issues with it as well.
Glad it worked for you.

You must first obtain the KR version of the game which if memory serves me correctly, you must have a KSSN or have someone with a KSSN purchase the game.

Don't try to add a game code. Change your region to Taiwan in the store, click the account balance dropdown, and choose recharge account.

Ok I got it owrking thanks. Now trying to get the relocalizer to work :/

You can use what I posted on the previous page to install two clients so you dont have to use the relocalizer since it is considered a 3rd party program and has the potential for Blizzards Warden program to be alerted.
Just a suggestion to help.
|
Has blizzard taken action against anyone using relocalizer or said anything about it before? I've never used it so kinda curious, as I would prefer I think either the english or korean sounds to the taiwan ones.
|
The benefit of using the relocalizer is that you don't get stuck listening to the taiwan game sounds (which are personally grating to my ears). Also, you don't use twice the disk space. However, like FT said, it is technically a violation of their ToS. There hasn't been a single person who's been reported getting banned for using it on the thread though.

In my opinion, as someone who has 4 accounts, (1 NA / 1 EU / 2 KR/TW), I would hate to have my service discontinued for using the relocalizer.
Overall looking at $50+ minimum each, there is $200+ that I am unable to do anything with over the period of the games life and I would be to blame.
Just having another 25-30gb of space used up is definitely a better option than losing out on $200+.

Anyone have the issue when DLing the Taiwan SC that it deleted all their saved games?
I renamed the SCNA account folders I have to SCII NA, but it still deleted the save games I had.
Anyway, I have been playing on Taiwan and everything other than that little issue works fine.

Did you rename the Program Data > Blizzard Entertainment > Starcraft II folder as well?
If you didn't that is potentially the cause of losing that.

How do you get your account back in english? I'd like to do this but cant navigate shit. I mean your online account, not the actual client.

you have to wait about 15 minutes for your order to be verified.
also you don't get a CD key. you get a serial number that you add to your battle.net account for currency, you then use that currency to purchase a digital copy of the game.
|
yeah i was talking with live support they guided me through point system but in the billing process somehow 2 cards where put on and now im having a "nice" discussion with them about it because i cant afford the 2.
|
I just wanted to verify that this still works to play on the Korean servers (the price is only $40 now? not that im complaining its cheaper...), and If I do actually have to create a new tw.battle.net account when buying the game from: http://www.offgamers.com/starcraft/starcraft-ii-tw-hk/starcraft-ii-cd-key-c-4183-6056-6057.ogm Ive tested my ping and I can do about 150 to korea, which is fine for me.
Oh, and if anyone could direct me to where I can download the Korean version of the client, that would be amazing. (I cant torrent anything >1gig effectively)

Can someone make a video explaining step by step exactly how to do this? maybe there is one already out there but this is quite complicated past the initial buy. Also are the clients mac compatible?

goto the link provided,
register to their site,
purchase the key,
verify your order via text message,
wait 15 minutes,
receive key,
goto battle.net account and change region to taiwan,
click where it says "account balance" in upper right hand corner and select "recharge account",
enter your serial key,
click purchase digital games,
select Starcraft II,
download the Mac Taiwanese client,
install, patch, navigate through Chinese menus,
play
edit: to clarify, you don't need to make a new battle.net account. I have my US account, EU account and TW account all on the same battle.net account. to change the region to Taiwan, log into your battle.net account, click games & codes --> add or upgrade a game, then click view available games, there it will say change region where you can select Taiwan, from there you will get the thing to add battle.net currency to your account
edit2: I figured I would add one more thing to note. put your home (NA / EU) client in a different folder because there is a chance you will erase it if you click the wrong button when asked in Chinese if you wish to write over your Starcraft II folder. I did this on accident and had to reinstall my NA client. also, if you don't overwrite your home client your settings (graphics, sound, controls etc) will be saved and transfer over to the Taiwanese client, that way you don't have to worry about navigating through menus in Chinese trying to set everything up.
|
Sorry this question is slightly unrelated, but I moved to Hong Kong (from Europe) and I want a lag free account (in addition to my European one as I still want to play with friends). Is this the best way to do it? 75 dollars seems really cheap...
Also since I spend some time in Seoul, will this allow me to play in PC bangs?

I believe it is because you are trying to use the KR client

Damn, this is actually an issue for me because I cant use the blizzard downloader, I have to actually torrent the entire install package. Any idea where I can get a torrent for the Taiwan client?
Edit: What if I used the relocalizer on my KR client to change it to TW? I'd still have to find a way to get the coresc2 mod of the tw client, but its a lot less to download.

try the shorter stuff like relocalizing stuff first and then decide what you have to do after
|
Well, Ive tried relocalizing, but all thats given me is an error, the relocalizer probably isnt updated to 1.4.1. So know im trying to repair the instalation, but in the mean time ill try installing from my installer package which i think is 1.3.4 and run it, and if that STILL doesnt work, ill have to find a torrent for the zhTW client -,-''

If I have a unused copy(box) of the game at home, which is an NA copy obviously, can I do this? Or do I have to purchase the Taiwanese client? Sorry if this is a pretty noob question.. Or if this has been asked in this thread already.. I didn't want to read over 30 pages. I skimmed tho so give me some credit

Took me about half an hour. I've read in this thread it took some people 1-2 hours. Really depends I guess.
I've been playing on the TW/KR server for about 2 weeks now. I'm in Texas with a FIOS connection and I get ZERO lag. I know what I do get.... and that's an ass kicking. I was low-masters (just got promoted) on the US server and when I first got on the TW/KR server I was placed in Gold because of weird placement matches, but you could tell even most of the Bronze players had a good understanding of the game. I'm in Platinum now and feel like I'm improving tremendously - never really get on the US server anymore except to play 2v2s with friends occasionally. I love the TW/KR server aggressive style of play, it really keeps you on your toes and improves game management.

you didn't receive a CD key bro, you received a serial number that you exchange for battle.net currency. change region to Taiwan and click "recharge account" under account balance

are you using tw.battle.net to enter the code?

is it worth it to train on korean ladder? actually mid/high masters in eu

If you guys are unsure about Latency issues before investing in another copy of the game, you can download the TW Starter Edition to try the connection out for yourself before purchasing the TW version.
Also, this way, you'll already have the client installed, so if you decide to buy the TW cd-key, you can play instantly.

How do you activate the korean server on it once you have the account?
EDIT: Just realised it is NOT like the NA/SEA link, it's like the NA/LA merge. There simply isn't a taiwanese server anymore. Correct me if i'm wrong please :/
This is my issue if I'm incorrect, how exactly do I get the korean one on it.

can any aus players vouch for the connection quality of playing on the kor server over sea/na, if it's likely to alleviate the lag / dropout issues of playing on sea/na then im on this shiz like donkey kong.

something about you entering something that is not a number in a field only numbers are allowed i think...

hmm thanks, guessing its probably not liking the postal code
ended up just using a chinese address and paid with paypal, got my code around 3 hours later
would recommend ccgameshop

it says
Game Region Warning
Retail copies sold in United Kingdom (your account country) will connect to the Europe game region.

///obv its only retail copys EU region..

I'm having 2 issues
1.) My code doesn't seem to be an image, it shows me the "Serial" and the "code" according to offgamers, but even then it's in text....
2.) When I setup a new battle.net account on the US region, it automatically had this gay "play starter edition of WoW now" thing and I cant seem to remove it...

you don't need a new battle.net account, you can use your main battle.net account to add a Taiwanese account on.
I have no idea what your first issue is, but you get a code that unlocks battle.net currency from the offgamers website. it doesn't come to you as an image, it's just text from the website

Used this so I could get my own personal copy (account)
I've bought everything but I appear to be in the trial client (TW version) of the game (can only select terran etc)
any fix to this?
edit: just decided to get the Korean Client instead so should be fixed. can answer to help anyone else that may of had this problem.

sad news guys, i ordered from offgamers and i think i might have gotten scammed by offgamers. They say they are checking with their "finance" dept and i'll give them 48 hours to reply and clearly the money is already in their account because the amount has already been deducted from my bank account. I have proof from my bank and screenshot of how "live chat" disconnected me when i asked about it.
how foolish of me to not do a research before placing an order and i should have paid by paypal instead of direct bank transfer. Either way i have all the proof and if they keep denying it i will bring it to the consumers tribunal, and yeah i know its only like 40usd but it's still money.
On another note, i found out that i can actually buy mycard points 10 mins from my house. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF I ONLY KNEW, I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO CREATE A STUPID ACCOUNT ON OFFGAMERS just to buy the game. a complete waste of my time.
If any brothers wanna buy mycard just let me know rivetedsoul@yahoo.com (yahoo messanger)
F offgamers, i'll give you 48 hours to settle my case.

I know alot of people has been saying no problems whatsoever, believe me i actually read through 33 pages of this topic before convincing myself to place an order there. Maybe if i paid using paypal things would be a hell lot easier.

At first i thought i got scammed cause i shouldn't find the code because it was really hidden but i found it. but the site does seem sketchy. glad i used a pre paid master pard

Ive been working with offgamers for a long time, bought my and my brother's WoW accounts from them, never had a problem, always paid with CC (wich is a virtual CC, a service offered by my bank which means every time I buy I do it with a different card number) and they've always delivered.
Now that I remember, once my code didnt arrive withing the 5 min mark, so i contacted by chat with the support and in 5 minutes more they fixed it. You are correct you should have done a research and find out they are legit.
Some times, some credit cards just dont proccess as fast certain transactions, thats why the banks always tell you that you should not spend again the money you have already used, some transactions take up to 48 hours to be complete.

i have a TW account now; is it possible to load both NA + TW account at the same time (accounts are not linked)
i tried it nd it only maximized the sc2 i had already open.. maybe if i try the other way around ie Open NA first, then TW.
also is it possible to get the korean sounds instead of the taiwanese? everytime i play it sounds like im watching some chinese war movie.
ALSO how do u translate back the battle.net website to english?
this page right here: https://us.battle.net/account/sc2/starter-edition/
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qr36V.png)
shows up in Taiwanese now for me, i want to be able to download another server client.
|
is it the serial that needs to be entered or the "code"?
EDIT, after poking around a few, got it to work.
1. change country of residence to taiwan
2. change region before "buying" the game
3. choose 1150 points and enter the "code" portion from offgamers.com
4. it will tell you that there is enough balance, check the checkboxes, click continue, etc. you're done.

My Taiwan client wont patch.. its stuck at 69 % ): Anyone else having a similar problem?

So I'm thinking about getting a taiwanese account, but before paying I'd like to know how the latency from Europe to KR/TW is so is it even remotely playable? I don't wanna purchase a code and then realize it's unplayable due to lag so I hope somebody can give some information.

Same here, i get ping timeouts if i try to ping tw.battle.net, makes me wonder if they just blocked it or it actually takes so long. Even the website takes some time to load :/

This is legit, worked for me, took 20min.

Can somebody that has done this clarify a few questions for me.
1) If I buy this TW account, can I download the KR client and enter the TW info directly? The reason I'm asking is because I am korean/speak korean but do not have a KSSN.
2) I'm aware that TW and KR merged, do they use the same database now or will my latency be based on distance with TW or Korea?

To answer to 1):
No, without relocalization (modifying files). You must have a TW client to play with a TW account, and a KR client to play with a KR account.
What you can do however, is play legally with korean sounds on a TW client very easily, to point that out to CuHz.
Here you go: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/j1l2p/how_to_korean_sounds_no_3rdparty_download/
I don't have any precise answer to 2), but I don't think the latency will be very different between TW or KR.

I'm still extremely confused about the 1st post. I've read the first few pages and I gathered that

Yes, that's right. You buy points then you redeem them on Battle.net

hey guys I just bought the key but why is this coming up?
An error has occurred.
The game key you entered cannot be claimed. Please check the key and try again. Alternatively, you can enter this key for a different region by changing the leading part of the www.battle.net URL (ex. “eu.battle.net”) in your web browser, or for a different Battle.net account.
need help asap. and btw offgamers sent me a serial and password. I really dont understand followed everything

If i remember, around the top right menu bar in your battle.net will have the option to redeem points. The code allows you to redeem points which you then use to buy an Unlimited license to SC2 TW.

I have a question on the starter edition, I wanted to know if it was possible to play it on the Taiwan server without buying the game.
I started looking a few pages and saw someone actually mention it:
On October 08 2011 01:56 `dunedain wrote:
If you guys are unsure about Latency issues before investing in another copy of the game, you can download the TW Starter Edition to try the connection out for yourself before purchasing the TW version.
Also, this way, you'll already have the client installed, so if you decide to buy the TW cd-key, you can play instantly.
Is this actually true? Wouldn't you need a NID to set up the account?
Also to those wondering how latency is between Korea and Europe, having done the opposite for a while (playing on the European server from Korea, I like to be original ) I can tell you it's pretty bad, still playable but barely. If I had to give an estimate I'd say you easily get half a second of lag on every order.

No lag for me and I have 10$ connection and live in California.
|
|
|
gosh KR server is hard. Masters in NA and SEA but currently dropping games against diamond players in KR >.<
|
Hi guys need help here because it seems that making a taiwan account requires an NID. Did anyone of you encounter this problem? or rather what will I do?
|
What servers can you play on with an TW account?
Great guide . Might do it too if if someone know the answer to my above stated question ^^.

Lovely thanks a lot!

Wow I didn't even realize the new localizations would make it this easy for foreigners to finally play on KR servers. I definitely might consider doing this, but I am afraid blizzard might already be preparing for this sort of mass migration.
You're right... Blizzard absolutely doesn't want more people spending their money on the game.

That's not cheap compared to offgamers's $40.

Yup, this is true. I've been using the Starter Edition for almost a month now, only Terran though. But I play T, so no complaints.
Sometimes the latency is really bad, over 400ms but at other times (most of the time) it runs just as good as the SEA server--recently, SEA has been having some latency issues too.
Still uncertain whether I'm going to get the game or not. For now, the Starter Edition works perfectly for me. Basically a free game.
Note: Please remember that with the Starter Edition, you can only play Shattered and X'NC. But there are always people playing custom games, so you never have to worry about not finding an opponent. You do face a lot of lower level players on custom though, but the higher level players really give you a run for your money.
tl;dr : Get the Starter Edition if you want to test out the latency.
Hope this helps.

Offgamers is also a bunch of idiots on tech support.
I had no issues with my first TW account purchase. Trying to help a friend get his and I can't make a purchase. Paypal denied and credit/debit card denied. Can't use either of those two methods, and the other methods don't exist around me period. Closest of them is like 200 miles.
Then I go and try to ask why and they state the verification process. Don't know how to say anything else. They dont call or send any emails to try and verify anything.
|
correct me if im wrong but can't you just login to your battle.net account(on the website). Go to the blizzard store, change the region to taiwan, and buy a copy that way?
|
Does this still work? It has been awhile and before I buy 1 I want to make sure it still works.

Thanks a lot for the answer! But can you tell me how I can actually get the starter edition? When I try, they ask for an NID. As I understand it, the way to get around that is to have a redeem code, but I need to buy the game for that... Can you help me?

For the record, you can buy Taiwan cd key from https://www.buysc2.tw/ using credit card or Paypal. The price is NT$1150 which is $40 USD.

Hi again I just bought a taiwan account and that I was just wondering if the steps provided in the thread works for cd keys provided in box itself? Unfortunately scsea.com can't help me because he isn't sure but no biggie Thanks a lot

i am currently residing in germany btw

Just got it working. From Europe the lag is noticeable, but not unplayable. You mentally adjust for it somewhat.

So I want to try the starter edition, but when I go to create a TW battlenet account, it's asking me for a NID (I'm asumming this is some kind of social security number for TW residents?)
What did you guys who got the starter edition do here?

You shouldn't need to create a Battle.net account on the TW Battle.net website. You can just log in with your current account, it works across all regions. I've got my TW account linked under my 1 battle.net account along with my SEA and NA accounts.

It should yes, I didn't use the starter, just went straight into the full account but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks :D

Well this is how I did it, little different to OP (those steps didn't work for me).
First, I had to go to "Buy digital game" and change my region to Taiwan.
Then it added this thing that said "Account balance: 0". Click the arrow next to that and click "Recharge account". Then put in your code and it will add 1150 credits to your account. Then click "Buy Digital Game", choose Starcraft 2, and use the 1150 credits to pay for it.
Thats how I had to do it, Bnet wouldn't accept my serial as a game key. Works fine though, been playing on the server.
Also Offgamers gave me my key within 10 mins of ordering as well.
Thank you for this. I was confused as hell and thought I got scammed when I couldn't buy it haha.
|
Just bought my TW account from Offgamers and used the method here^ to buy my game. Now I'm just waiting for the client to download! I'll let you all know if I have success
|
So I bought the game from Offgamers, and I recharge my bnet account so that my account balance is 1150 points. I clicked on Buy Digital Game and chose SC2, and I'm at the screen where is shows the SC2 box and says I will play in Taiwan server. I selected "1150 Balance Unlimited Game time" from the drop down box, but I cannot click on Continue. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

bump, having the exact same issue

there is a client relocater, allows you to use any source language and play in a different region. For instance you can use the english language and play in korea, you can also use the korean language and play in america. I didn't have to download the clients, I just did ran the .bat and it downloaded everything for me.

Same for me! T_T
EDIT: The way i did it was made a starter account, then went back to tw battle.net went to my main accoutn page. YOu need to click the TW starter edition game client among all your other regions and you can do it from there. Just going to "buy digital game" wont do it
|
Try www.SC2sea.com
Theres a step by step instruction to download/purchase and then re-localize. Plenty of reviews on their products.
|
I'm still having the problem, I tried switching the regions back and forth, I made sure that I had the points needed. I'm just hoping the .tw is having some problems atm, hope I didnt waste 40 bucks

Dear god, thank you so much for this thread. The lags not that bad and im in the east coast USA, which is on the other side of the world really.

Why is the font for some of the ingame indicators different from other versions? I see a different (read: uglier) font used for minerals/gas/supply and also on the ladder ranking as well.
Looks horrible for a version that Blizzard "optimized". Makes me glad that I ponied up for a KR account, but also makes me feel sorry for people like Khaldor who have to cast from a shitty version of Starcraft.

I don't know why font makes you all sad panda like that, if you buy a KR account you obviously don't go there to have fun with your friends and have cool fonts... I mean the game stays the same
|
Its not necessarily a bad thing, it just doesn't look as classy as the regular font. I was asking why Blizzard has it as such.

Yeah, I got nothing... I even changed my blizzard account address to a random business in TW, and used a TW proxy.
My poor 40 bucks. lol.

![[image loading]](http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo222/99MasterChief99/SC2PROBLEM.png)
Here is what it looks like, as you can see I have the required 1150 points to purchase the Taiwan version of sc2.
The "continue" button on the bottom is not clickable.
For the others having this problem is this what it looks like for you?
|
Yup, exact same thing.
Funny thing is I can click continue for everything but the Korean/TW servers.
|
Same here, I already downloaded the .tw client and tried using the button that on the english one upgrades your account, it took me to the page to buy the digital version but still wouldnt let me click continue.
I contacted support, but no response yet.
Anyone that is considering buying a .tw/kr account should wait till this is solve.
|
It is a real shame because my ping to Korea is only about 200 ms. That wouldn't be too bad at all.

It look exactly the same for me. Opened a ticket at bnet support still waiting for a response. I will update you as soon as I get an answer.

As a side note, this causing me to fiddle around with my B.net account made me notice that I am in the Diablo 3 Beta!
<3
I need to check my email more...

I got a replay from the .tw support, I explained the problem to them and how to fix it and this was their reply (translated)

You can test it yourself.
Open up your start menu and type "CMD" in the run box.
Then in the command window type:
tracert kr.logon.battle.net
Then wait for everything to finish (it should do like 30 passes testing connection). Afterwards do the same with US
tracert us.battle.net
Then you cna literally see the ping for yourself.

Btw, i tried making this play for free, but in the main page doesn't appear...
|
m3wtw0, i think the answer is YES... i am waiting for my client to finish dl'ing so i can confirm
|
For some reason its giving me the world of warcraft play for free starter edition when i clicked it, i made sure that it was doing it by doing the same for EU, when i clicked sc2 starter it gave me a EU wow starter edition

Click on that and it takes you to the main account page with all your game clients. Then choose StarCraft II®: Wings of Liberty [SCII-1] Taiwan (TW)
|
So wait, how do you get the starter edition account to show up? Mine tells me I don't have to activate it...
|
i tried logging into my brothers account to see if i could get the free to play thing working, it gave me another world of warcraft starter edition instead of the sc2 one.
|
i tried with the relocalizer, but when i go on the log in page (TW client) it says :
"this account is not including a starcraft II copy or it has expired the game time. Click on add or buy game to add time or buy a game."
so i can't even create the starter edition
|
My main account page doesn't list any SC2 wings of libertys. Just WoW starter edition. Please help?

I'm not sure if you will need to log into SC2 with your starter account first. As long as after you make the play for free account and you see the TW SC2 account/client among all your other regions it should work

Then go back to the main account page and click on StarCraft II®: Wings of Liberty [SCII-1] Taiwan (TW) option among all your other regions This is the EU starter edtion on my account but the TW one will look the exact same Click the buy digital game from there and then the SC2 box will flash and make some noise and your ready to play on KR/TW Pictures wont load on thread so here's the links step 1 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/twstep1.png/step 2 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/twstep2.png/step 3 http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/twstep3.png/ hey Za7oX, does this only work if you already installed the TW client? I already have a relocalizer so i didn't need to download the client. After i made my starter account i logged in to SC2 with it first then went back my bnet account and upgraded my starter edition to the full game. I'm not sure if you will need to log into SC2 with your starter account first. As long as after you make the play for free account and you see the TW SC2 account/client among all your other regions it should work http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/twstep2.png/ i don't see anything like that, because i receive a error when i try to log in in the relocalized zhTW client. So, the starter edition does not create help! Were you able to do this ? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/step5bv.png/ when i click that for any server it takes me to download the client, and doesnt get me the starter edition on the main page
It should take you to the client download page after you click it. If you have a relocalizer try log on with the starter account to TW. I logged on with my starter account before going back to upgrade to the full version.

here's the link to the starter edition....
https://tw.battle.net/account/download/?show=sc2&starter=sc2
|
|
|
did you have to install the TW client first to get to that point? did you have to log in through the actual game?
|
Aquisto Digitale .... then use ur points to buy the game

that's definitely crazy O_O
it's impossible it's for that.
There is people that did this without any problem.
Imho the most possible is that the server is having some issue...
Because that's too weird..

how did you get it to work?
what did you use?
|
The starter edition appeared in the main page after many log in with the relocalizer in kr and tw account, then i clicked on it and upgraded to permanent!!! YAY!
|
relocalizer. could you link me please?
|
|
|
how do i get a language pack? because that what it is telling me i need to make a starter edition
|
|
|
no language pack are currentely been released by blizzard.
So, the only way is downloading the TW client, like i'm doing.
btw that relocalized messed my installation up^^
i'm repairing.

megabluestar , do you think the online account game status changed because you logged in via the TW client?
|

Yes of course, because you can only activate starter edition via logging in, in the right client.
|
The relocalizeder messed up my TW client, I'm going to reinstall the TW client and try to play as guest option to get the starter thing to work.
megabluestar, could you tell me what exactly you did to get the starter edition to work? were you on the US client or the TW client? Or on the website?
|
Now i will make a little list of what i did:
- i used the relocalizer to get before in the Kr client, then tried to log in and received a weird error.
- tried to log in tw client but same error
- around 15minutes later, i relog into tw and i get starter edition with nickname chose etc.
- nothing on the account management main page appears.
- i try to get starter of the kr client
- i get it, but every time i click upgrade now it redirect me to a page in that there was the same unclickable button
- around 15 minutes later i retry logging in in tw, then click upgrade now and the starter edition button appeared on the main page.
-clicked on it, and then followed the procedures and bought the account with my balance points.
that's all, i don't know the exact stuffs that i did, because i was desperated and i did all randomly
|
so you had the kr client and the tw client already downloaded?
i don't really get what the recolizer does, it just made mine in a different language or did it convert it to a different client?

Question about the PayPal payment option:
I have $60 in my PayPal account but I verified it a few months ago with a prepaid virtual credit card. I'm going to buy this but do I need to attach a real credit card/debit card or bank account to buy, or can I just use the money that's already there?
Thanks much guys. glhf

Ok guys I did it!
Here is the steps I used:
1- D/L and install Taiwanese client
2- Create an avatar in game
3- When you are connected to b.net, exit the game
4- D/L the relocalizer and run it on your taiwan sc2 copy
5- Boot sc2 again and log in
6- Before you enter bnet you will have a pop-up box - Click the orange button
7- This will bring you to the starter edition web page
8- Click to buy the game
9- Use your points
10- YAY!

OKay let me explain to you guys every step and how to defeat all of the obstacles along the way.
Step #1: Use this link to buy the Taiwanese Starcraft II. It will cost $42:
http://www.offgamers.com/starcraft/starcraft-ii-tw-hk/starcraft-ii-cd-key-c-4183-6056-6057.ogm
Step #2: Once your payment is sent and you went through all the steps (verifying phone and email address), you will receive a serial # and a "password" as well. You can view this in the offgamers website.
Step #3: Create bnet account on tw.battle.net
Step #4: Log in to your account on tw.battle.net and click on "account" in the top menu.
Step #5: Click "games & codes" in the dropdown menu then click "add or upgrade a game". Click "Viewable Available Games". Click Starcraft II icon, then click the "Try for Free" button.
Step #6: Download the TW game client. Make sure your region in your tw.battle.net account is set to Taiwan when doing so. Install the TW client in a DIFFERENT folder from your regular SC2 installation.
Step #7: Go to your tw.battle.net account and go to Recharge Account. Enter in one of the 2 codes that offgamers.com gave you, and it will add 1150 points to your battle.net account.
Step #8: Login to your TW SC2 game client with your free trial login. Browse around and notice everything is locked.
Step #9: Wait 15-20 minutes. Go to your tw.battle.net account and click the TW version of SC2 that is listed on your main account page. Use your 1150 points to purchase the digital Taiwanese version of the game. Once you do this, it will say "Active!" and your TW SC2 will not be locked anymore!
[Step 9 is where some people encounter a greyed out "continue" button. If this is the case, just make sure you have logged in with your free trial SC2 account and waited like 20 minutes... it will become available. You will know because it will list your TW version of SC2 on your main Account page.]

yea, relocalizer didnt work for me NA->TW
messed up my game, couldnt repair, forced reinstallation.
DLing client = perfect. worst part was it taking 6 hours to download and patch.

I don't see SC2-TW game under my account.. i already downloaded the starter client
|
i can't get the starter edition to appear under my games, and i have relocalized and i have the taiwan game open......
what do i do to get the stupid starter edition to pop up under my account's game list?
|
I have a confusing conundrum... I have the TW starter edition showing while logged in on the US Battle.net website. However, if I go to tw.battle.net I don't have it.
-.-
This is annoying because I need to be logged on TW to actually use my points.

You don't get a CD key, you get game points to redeem in the amount that can purchase the game from blizzard.
Just go back and read the thread more carefully, all the information is there.
|
well i didnt get even the points....
|
Yeah it worked well for me......you are actually buying points to spend at battle.net....not the actual game.....then you just pick Starcraft 2 (TW region) and click on the play for free button to get the starter edition....and then you just download the thing.....and upgrade it later on......with the points that you just bought
|
On December 20 2011 00:33 iMEscapeBeSt wrote:

What did you get? You should have had an email with a code in it. Or if I remember right the code will also be in the account purchase on the website.

yeah i received the code and the password , what should i do with it ??
|
On December 20 2011 01:52 iMEscapeBeSt wrote:

You redeem the code for points on battle.net, it's just enough points to purchase a copy of the TW game.
Just read the thread, all the info is there with step by step guide.

You can use KR client, but you need to relocalize it (with something like dat http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=283919 )
|
Step #3: Create bnet account on your region's battle.net
So create one on the TW server or use your OWN server? Because when I try to make a starter edition account on TW, it asks me for a NID if I try to create an account on the TW server.
Edit: nvm from the picture above it seems i can add it to my USA one.

You make it on TW bnet, search google for NID generator or taiwanese SNN generator.
EDIT: From above poster.

Only TW client, all other clients will need to be relocalized to TW.

TW client authenticates from a different server/database from the Korean one. Same ladder/players, but different authentication. That's why it needs to always be relocalized to TW and not Korea.

can't wait to practice my TvT, even if it is only on xel naga and shakuras xD
it's great though cus it means i can practice ONE matchup over and over without interruption and without doubt xD

Some questions:
Does relocalizor still work for the new patch and TWN (SEA or US > TWN) ?
Did you guys have to do phone verification with offgamers? How do you do that?

They asked me if I wanted a text message or a phone call and I picked text. They sent me a verification code like five minutes later.
|
Do you get asked to verify before or after paying???
**Nvm, found phone verification in account options :D
Still need to know if I can localize a US install.

I believe you have to verify the purchase so it will be after you pay. Also after you type in the verification code they send you, it took me about fifteen minutes for the verification to go through before I could claim my key, so don't distress if it doesn't work right away.

So I recharged my acc....I can't find out how to use it to buy the game :S HELP.
When I go to choose 1150 credit on taiwan buy the button is greyed out to continue...
Hmm it's finally showed the starter edition on US battle net but TW battle net still won't show it. I have to upgrade from starter - right?
..
Fixed..appeared in account after I relogged in.
getting language pack error.
**Re-running US version changes language to enUS (need to change back to zhTW) - going to write a bat file to launch each game and rename the files accordingly...
|
Anyone wanting to get better should get a TW/KR account. I'm usually top 25 masters in the US, but in korea I'm finding myself struggling against platinum players. Its a great way to improve.
|
so my payment has been pending-verifying for hours.... should i cancel and try again or there are better sites than offgamer?
|
I'm having trouble, I bought from offgamers and they gave me a serial and a password. Then (without them even giving me instructions on how to use the damn shit they gave me) I ended up here: https://warcraft.tw/wtb/wow-transformcard.aspx
which allows me to enter in the serial and password they gave me but it doesn't even work! help me plz.
|
wow nevermind... fuck that website the offgamers tells you to use. I just went to bnet, changed my region to TW then recharged my account and for the item redemption, i used the PASSWORD they gave me and it added 1150 points, then I just redeemed the game.
|
So once I get the CD Key for the Taiwanese client, I can just download that client from the Blizzard website and be set? I noticed that you can select a region when downloading game clients. I don't mind the language being different.
|
basicly you wont get the CD key from off gamer, you got a 'serial' and a 'password'...
serial is useless, put the password into 'recharge account' section on TW battle net account menu and it will give you 1150 balance.
after that go into game code and buy sc2 with that 'game money' you got.

Looks like it's conflicting. Have you got another client installed at Program Files (x86)\Starcraft II?
Just change the installation directory to Program Files (x86)\Starcraft II TW\ should fix the problem.
|
Just a tip for everyone and maybe the OP could update the 1st post..
2 good places to also buy TW/KR CD keys are RTSDealer (Which is only available for contact between like 8pm - 2am) and Sc2sea.com, I personally used sc2sea.com ( which is a little more the RTSDealer )and payed $59.90 AUD or like $63 USD, and got my CD key that worked perfectly in less than 30 minutes through an in-sight PM.
If anyone is looking for some english speaking friends on the TW/KR server feel free to add me: Valestrum.101 (Protoss / diamond in NA )

I am having the same exact problem. However, I did make a new folder to install the TW client into, but it keeps telling me that the folders are conflicting. I tried installing in just Programs Files (not Program Files x86), and still the same error. =\
Anyone got a solution?

DO NOT USE LOCALIZER!
it is complicated and messy. Instead use bigfoot like me and jinro :D... 1 click and it auto change sever for you. The down side is all the chinese turn into blank but once u get use to it, you should be fine.
Sound remains in english too
look up bigfoot in TL search

I hope sum1 can help me out here.
I would like to play on the TW/KR server but i'm really not sure about the lag.
I live in The Netherlands and 'pinging' to the TW server gives me around 300 ping.
I know that's quite high but I have no idea what that number actually means.
Is 300 ping still playable or shouldn't I even bother?

300 is super high. I wouldn't bother with it. Lag would be really bad. Ping is essentially how fast it takes for packets to make a round trip from your location to, in this case, kr/tw. So lower is obviously better.

Dont install your TW Client in the same folder as your EU Client, i believe there was a thread dedicate to the installation of the TW client, cant find it right now though.

They should be installed in different folders to prevent the EU client from being overwritten.

Bought it from Offgamers a moment ago but I have a fast question. Some of you say I need to create a new TW bnet account, but the OP states I can just go with my original EU account. What should I do?
Thanks

Your battle.net account can stay the same. You just need to register your CD-Key at your EU account (which is in reality just a b.net account, not EU specific), and you will have 2 x SC2 licenses registered to your b.net, one for EU and one for TW. No problem at all.
Edit:
It should look like this:

Ok thanks! It worked fine, downloading the client now

getting this message after I select my folder in documents called "sc2-twn" it still comes up with this error message?? , also how to turn off peer 2 peer, or does that only matter for downloading the client? Because I've already downloaded it, just trying to install it and followed everything correctly.

it's like stuck at 1% 00016/37442 No clue lol

Great thread. I have read everything and underand the Installation process perfectly. Before I buy though I have a few questions.
I understand how to change the language to English but can anybody confirm whether you can change to English text but with tw sounds?(or kr if change the sounds to kr)
Can anyone confirm and describe a way of keeping everything tw or kr but with English hotkeys? Even an overlay for example.
When changin language to English do the players names stay tw/kr? Also when I select my name can I put in Korean letters since the merge?
Thanks alot.

Does it still cost 75$ because that seems kinda rediculous, I distinctly remember reading that they cos like 34$ nowadays? someone correct me if I'm wrong please!

There is almost 40 pages of corrections that its now less then 40$. When I go to check out it says 1150 points which equates to ~36$ AUD.

I can let everyone know right now that the lag from east coast to the kr server (Im in north carolina) is not bad at all. I used to have the internet service called Clear (also known as Clearwire) and my ping was around 250 ish (this ping was for US server). Now I have AT&T Uverse and my ping for US is around 20-30ish and my ping to KR is around 250. I played the starter edition yesterday and did a couple of 1v1 customs and was almost able to beat a kr Masters player (he was zerg). I did beat a diamond toss player though ^.^
But yea, this is just to let everyone know that the ping is really low. Im sure if I played on EU server I would experience little to no lag.

when you need to choose the purchase method on the offgamers website. which one did you guys choose?
|
So I wanted a second taiwan account and foolishly used the bnet account which already has my first taiwan account on it. Now I have game points and can't get a second license. The points aren't available for other regions on that account either. Am I boned? I opened a ticket with blizzard saying I meant to put the points on my other bnet account. If anyone has ideas how I could fix this I would be thrilled
|
ok so i purchased the product and have the key and password. i went to redeem the code but im getting an error message. idk what im doing wrong.. please help
|
Hum...
I'm very confused I ordered from the link at Offgamers and I received a serial and password...
I tried putting both into the game key box but neither works.
Can someone shed some light on my foolishness/ignorance?

That says:

Anyone who gets this you can safely ignore these warnings. If anything they help because your game settings will stay the same between your US/EU client and your TW client. The user folders (for replays, game saves, etc.) are unique by region + name + character code.

1) Login to your battle.net account and go to account management.
2) On the right side click 'Buy Digital Games'
3) On the middle right click 'Change' under Game Region.
4) Switch to Taiwan.
5) Click on 'balance' in top right.
6) Enter your code. It's one of the two things you got, I believe password. The other one is just a unique serial... I think for theft or to verify you have the card or something. Either way just try both. You should see the points added to your balance (1150).
7) Go back to 'Buy Digital Games'.
8) Make sure your region is Taiwan and buy 'Unlimited time' option (I'm not sure exact wording, I can't get back to the screen since I have a Taiwan account now).
9) Download client.
10) Play
|
I tried using the relocalizer, and it wont let me login. Gonna go ahead and download the TW client as a fallback.
Also, is there any way to play on TW with korean language? From what I have read it seems like you cant.
Edit: TW client works for me
|
If I have the korean client, can I log in to a TW account with that?
|
For whatever reason that website needs my military email before my order can be completed. No idea how they know I am in the military, and no idea why the need it. I dont feel comfortable giving this information out, does anyone know an alternative website? Only place I have found is sc2sea.com, and they are charging $24 more for the game, and they only take paypal (I dont have a paypal account).
|
If I buy a taiwan account can I play on the korean server ?

Read much?
Yes, you can. This is why getting a Taiwanese account is so attractive.

Yes you can, however you need to relocalise KR to TW.
Its what i did. Works like a charm

just bought it from offgamers and it works. very fast response got it in 1min after setting up account. only downside is you have to enter a telephone number to call to verify your credit card; might've woke up my family... lol. anyway they give you a serial and a password. the serial is useless. just go to load account and paste the password in there and its good.

Just got mine today, cost me just over $40 US with the paypal fee. NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE REGIONAL CLIENT IF YOU JUST WANT TO LOCALIZE YOUR OWN! I did, not understanding the process, and that's 7GB and 5 hours i wasted.
Oh and yeah...masters toss NA...play some terran in a placement match and i'm like "this guy's diamond level or so"....
....fucking gold...
jesus what did i get myself into!
|
I have 3 different accounts connected to my Battle.net now. EU, NA and TW. No problems with that.
|
I bought it but it never gave me my cd key.....
|
Just wondering, because I'm paranoid as hell about ordering anything online, especially something like this..
Has anyone actually had a bad experience with offgamers? Because it appears that the cost of Starcraft 2 TW is only 39 CAD, which is very, very tempting..
I guess in other words, has anyone had any issue with offgamers not delivering/giving you the code? Thanks :c

I haven't had any problems with it. I bought a NA and a TW account from Offgamers. Fast and efficient, got my keys after 10 minutes or so.

Alright thanks. I'm considering buying my TW account now, and this is pretty much the lowest I've seen.
|
Well, I bought the game from offgamers but didnt recieve any confirmation email and now I cant log in on my accout as it says "Invalid email adress". What the hell????
\edit nvm just got everything smoothly
|
Thanks, it works like it should and the price is quite cheap.
|
I have time to kill in a PC Bang in Seoul, and it seems my Taiwan account doesnt work here? Does anyone know if I need a proper Korean account to play in a PC Bang?
|
Is there anywhere i can buy a taiwan account with amex and no paypal?
|
Hrmm I just got this error message when trying to register my taiwanese account.
The game key you entered cannot be claimed. Please check the key and try again. Alternatively, you can enter this key for a different region by changing the leading part of the www.battle.net URL (ex. "eu.battle.net") in your web browser, or for a different Battle.net account.
This is on tw.battle.net screen
|
Update: I figured it out. If anyone else has this problem, it's because you don't do it through the games and codes menu. Click on your Taiwan account under Starcraft 2, and use the "purchase game time" option and choose unlimited. Then enter the code you received from offgamers. See you in Taiwan, guys
|
Hmm, this is probably not the thread for it but if somebody is unhappy about the lag on the TW server and want to trade with a NA account i would gladly love to! I have an extra NA Account and i loved playing on the TW Server! :D PM me!

how do we know how to connect with other foreigners (ie non koreans) playing in taiwan server too?
|
The site seems to be restocking for quite awhile now..
Anyone know any other sites to purchase a TW key?

Go into the channel 'teamliquid', there are generally a lot of foreigners in there.
And some known people too, such as jinro on occasion.
Also Legend, the GSL English cast observer is in there from time to time.

Are there any issues with using a fake NID? Like is it as bad as faking a SSN/SIN or is it done all the time?
|
anybody have a taiwan account I can buy? $75 is quite expensive and I wouldn't mind getting it cheaper from secod hand
|
Taiwan accounts are so much cheaper than any of the other servers, I might consider this.. Although I will probably get owned as it does share the server with Koreans... ><

Well according to their live support they just told me they wont be selling tw keys anymore due to the changes in gameflier.my
And just when I was about to make a kr account
|
so, is there another way to play on the korean ladder? I don't have a korean social id or anything.
edit : nvm I bought a TW account. Now, when I get the cdkey from the site, I'll need to create a new battle.net account and select taiwan as my country right? I can't use my existing account and just add another game?
Also, they ask for NID. I guess it'll be sent to me with cdkey :/

So does anyone have a new site where we can get TW from since offgamers isnt goign to sell them anymore?
|

(http://i.imgur.com/3Boi1.png)
After fooling around with Google Translate it seems it recognizes my location for where my EU settings and replays are stored say they will be deleted? (its not the actual path shown correct either)..
Help pls

If that's the same message on my KR client, it basically says that it already exists.
|
So I have NA/EU/KR installed and every time, all I did was rename the Starcraft folder in my documents, installed the new Client, let it create the folder, then merged the two folders back into the original one. Works fine for me :D

I talked with someone on Customer Support, and they put me on a list to be notified when the restock had finished, which they said should be 1-2 more weeks, so I would just suggest talking to someone on Live Support and getting on that email list
|
SC2SEA.com will get new ones on monday.
Anyone knows how to change language on battle.net? Mine is on chinese or something now lol
|
You can't anymore
DW. 10 games is all it takes to have the new voice ingrained in your head.
|
I would not reccomend SC2SEA.com. ordered 1 week ago, was aparantly out of stock - due today. Did I recieve it? Nah - maybe sometime during this week.
EDIT:
Actually got my key a couple of days before they said they expected a restock, guess they just had a bad run with blizz and too much orders. Service has been exellent after delivery.
|
Anyone know if it'd be cheaper to buy more points to buy HOTS for my TW edition rather than paying for the NA edition?
