Interesting thing-- right after 1.3.3 hit, I was having internet problems. Rather than getting the usual disconnected from B.net message, I got this:

Obviously I have the full game.

I'm getting something similar I don't have internet at my place right now and i wanted to play offline but it told me offline isn't available for starter edition made me sad since I thought you could play offline for a month before the game locks you out...

Very nice idea here. With all the people hitting up events like MLG, there will be a lot of people looking to try out SC2.

Great move by Blizzard, also a good way to combat their "greedy" image.

A really good approach by blizzard. It will definitely help to get more people into SC2

I wonder if this was the "SC2 Phoenix" project from that old Blizzard release slate.

This will be cool to have just to watch replays on other computers for entertainment purposes.

Blizzard, opening the door to hackers and modders worldwide


What? How does that have anything to do with the OP?


Haha, well it was kind of a joke, but with these free lite versions, hackers can mod them and such.

Just tried the starter edition out... is it normal that there is no exit the game button???
My opponent lef the game already and whenever I press F10, there is no exit the game option!

edit: nvm, you are suppose to click on points overview, not "leave the game" or something like that.
Still too much used to broodwar.

What's the method to install this along side a full game installation? It's complaining that the folders under My Documents exist already.

It's ok. This client will use your old settings and hotkeys, just press "Install". Also you're not need to create new account, if you already have it.

Got starter edition on same account (as EU) for US. Same nick and SAME ID And now I can post on US PTR forums.

This will introduce alot more players into Starcraft II who doesn't have the proper money to buy the game.

Now we'll get even more Terran players ><

But it's a pretty great initiative by Blizzard overall. This ought to help to swing a ton of doubtfuls over without much of a hassle. Especially since they can download a couple of replays to see for themselves just how kickass this game is.
