I've ran into a lot of sc2 free version users today in custom matches...I kinda feel bad since it's such an unforgiving and hard game to learn and master.

Is there a way to install this on a computer that already has the full game installed? I tried to install the Taiwan starter edition but it wants to delete existing sc2 files from when i installed my North American SC2.

I just downloaded the starter edition, but I am unable to play ANY of custom maps (single player vs AI). Even the 4 maps that are supposedly available are locked. Has anyone else had this problem?
EDIT: Figured it out. You just have to create a "MULTIPLAYER" game and add in AI

Hey guys, I have a friend who wants to try the starter edition, but his internet isn't good enough to download the whole game (it would take a long long time).

Would it be okay if I just lend him my SCII CD? He can install the game with that, and play the starter edition with his own account? Or, is the starter edition a different client/package that needs to be downloaded specifically?

Just wanted to let everyone know that you cannot observe games as a starter edition player. So making an NA starter edition account does not allow casters to use that as a casting account.
