When SC2 was announced, I hoped it would be the LAN game of the future. No fantasy orcs, just space marines, psionics, and the swarm - and that a large custom map pool would form around it. Skipping ahead... there are only 50 custom maps to play. I'm being generous. We can't play at my friend's house, where we always used to LAN, because his internet isn't good enough for eight people. He's in a california city of 10k, in a rather populated county, and he can't get reliable internet. And nobody will play the regular game, because I'm monolithically too good. So much for that. | ||

All of us sucked at the actual game, but the custom maps for it were so varied and interesting that we'd have a blast with them.

Posts like these are what really matters. Our little initiative here won't create massive financial impact or send the devs scrambling for additional content. We're too few against a massive majority which is content with what they have. But what we've got is passion; we've got dedicated gamers, most of them loyal Blizzard customers to this day, who are dissappointed and treated with indifference. Anecdotes like these tell the story and explain our concerns better than most lists of lacking features could ever do. | ||

It gives the who, where, when and why Bnet 2.0 doesn't add LAN. http://www.the-ghetto.org/content/the-creation-of-battle-net-2-0-part-one Not bad, LAN is at page 5, starting 1/4 down. http://www.the-ghetto.org/content/the-creation-of-battle-net-2-0-part-five | ||

Unfortunatley Blizzard has decided to give me a 72 hour ban (for swearing or something like that). So if someone from here could possibly start the Battle Net Part 4 thread it would be much appreciated. Keep it up guys!! Part 3 took less time to fill then Part 2 did!! Done. | ||

Gonna switch over to another account PowerForgeD, but if someone could let everyone in the thread know where I went that'd be great. | ||

I replied to my message with these exact words... + Show Spoiler + I am seriously confused as to why your policy lets people like "leetroyjnkins", "TheFat", "HeRiTiC", and countless others including the infamous "TKINewbie", and "TVB" where the sole purpose of them being on the forum is to spam useless QQ (complaints on balance that have no claim) and make people angry. We have 4 threads that are the bastion of your consumer's thoughts and beliefs, we have kept it in the community's attention through discussion and the occasional bump. What do you do about this public outcry for you to return to your roots? Do you answer us? Do you try to keep us satisfied with an announcement? NO. You instead ban the leaders of the (Blizzard Forum Part of the) movement in hopes it will die down. I did nothing wrong that others do everyday on that forum! I censored myself for the love of all that is good in the world! Why are you so prejudice against Powerforged, Shiori, and myself? Did we say we want to hurt anyone? No. Did we state our thoughts and ideas on what made the old B.net great? Yes. All you have done is proved to everyone that you want us silenced, I am sorry, but closing your eyes will not solve a problem simply because you refuse to see it... Please respond to your community and help us understand you instead of making us fear/hate what the idea of you has become! You are fighting a losing battle and your costumers are trying to help you out, why are you digging yourself deeper into this hole? Let us pull you out! Listen to us! I hope you understand that while this may be my final warning on your forums, this may very well be your final warning before your superiors wreck the company into the ground through ignorance. A very big fan and sincerely yours, Jacob Strong (SacredSoul) | ||

If these features are not in the game already (or Battle.net 2.0), then don't expect them to EVER come. | ||

I say Atlus should buy SC2 and improve it. Of course I'm half joking, but I really do think Blizzard is pedantic. | ||

That's funny, because it's true  And to the guys that have a US account, if you guys could do us a favour and post a 4th thread, but seeing that they ban people for suspicious reasons, I don't know what to think anymore, so now you can't even tell your opinion without getting banned ? When 1000+ people start an initiative to get something done, they ban people ? I'm speechless | ||
