I like the extra steps you've included in this for no reason. You can just buy the code from off gamers, make the tw.battle.net account, add funds to account, buy SC2, download SC2 TW client, login and play

You know you can create a us.battle.net account, login, change us to tw, then buy the game, no NID required.

Yes this is true, my method creates a new seperate username.

I purchased from off gamers back in june/august. Service was very quick. Make sure you people complete the account authentication process (Confirming email, phone number, etc) they will NOT send your key until you have completed these steps so do not LIE about any of the information. I was able to put the TW account onto my ordinary NA account without any complication or crossover. Both versions of starcraft 2 are listed on my account page. You do not need a separate battle.net account to do this.

TLDR: You can use your main b.net account!

Oh I mean if you do this with a NEW account you don't have to use a NID

Guys, I'm from the Netherlands and I sometimes play on the NA server.
It has a bit of lag but nothing major.
Does any1 know how much worse the lag would be from EU>KR then EU>NA?
I know it's worse but what should I expect? 2x worse? 3x worse? 10x worse?

Jakker. Start, run, cmd
tracert tw.battle.net
tracert kor.logon.battle.net

For comparisons:

tracert us.battle.net
tracert eu.battle.net

ok thanks

US is ~150MS for me and KR is 280-300.

Probably not very playable from EU since I have a very good connection compared to most people.

Just a heads up: If you use your primary account to create a TW account (like I used the same NA account I normally use), your hotkeys follow you since it's account-wide. Saved a lot of potential crying and gnashing of teeth trying to decipher which hotkeys were what

You probably did an overwrite of your English client.

They should be on separate folders:

What's a playable "ms"? My us.battle.net is very, very low at 7-10. The tw.battle.net goes from 7-250.

use tracert not ping. If you cant do either, you probably have a firewall.

If anyone is having trouble with their US acc not working after logging in to TW or vise versa, check your variables.txt (My Documents/SC2) and use search to find either enUS or zhTW (of course, enGB would be EU? Know what yours are...) - replace accordingly. It's in there twice I think.
Personally I wrote a script that replaces those lines upon starting either TW or US versions of the game, but this problem does not seem widespread enough to need to post this. But if that changes, pm me.
