tbf, if the race you could only play was zerg, you would probably draw in absolutely no new players that have heard of sc2
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Does anyone know why buying an SEA account gives me a starter NA edition instead of the full NA login? TT

But really, hopefully it promotes the game more and there are more people to try and buy sc2.


Just play ladder and you won't come across them.

i always wondered what the blue star next to Xel'naga Caverns meant, and what blizz meant with a starter edition^^
extended thermal lances aka extended imbalances

So this is what blizzard have been spending their time on...I'm not sure if I agree with them constantly saying that theyre too busy to do stuff and then bring something like this out, which quite clearly was due a year ago.

Props to Blizzard regardless.


Take into consideration that this starter edition is going to live for many years probably, through two expansions and hopefully beyond.

Seems like a great way to get new people into the experience!

Reminds me of SC1 demo, though it had different campaign that was prequel to actual game campaigns (which was pretty cool), but at least this one has more than 1 single map for TvT play. Byway was the sc1 demo map for multiplayer and it was hilariously bad (quite small and with only 1 expansions for each that were across the map for both players).

I can see why they limited the race to T, most casual players probably won't give a shit about ladder play so having all 3 races would be good enough for them

Read the thread, the FAQ is badly written

So don't waste your time downloading this if you have hopes of playing on the korean server, as you will still need to verify you have KSSN when registering your free account.

They should have added a "Recruit a Friend" option. You could invite a friend through his battle.net account email, and he would download SC2 for free, but only be able to play unranked games on a small pool of 1v1 and 2v2 maps. He could only chat with you, and only join a lobby that you are present. No race restriction.

This would solve the "spawn" problem for people who want to play with a family member but doesn't want to buy a whole new account, and also would encourage people to buy the game after trying.
