It's definitely a nice addition, though not that big of a deal I think. A lot of people are just excited about the "glory of KR server" but other than that it doesn't really change much. Will be nice to play with friends from Europe though. Hopefully the latency won't be too bad.

I hope they realize they fool noone that it was a great way to sell more game copies So why are they implementing this at all... Because they already made the money...with "separate metagame shift" as an excuse. Im surprised theyre doing this so soon So basically you are assumign that they only are doing it because they already made the money they would make off of multiple accounts despite the fact that two more expansions are on the way. hence, "so soon". if they dont do it, some of those with multiple accounts would buy multiple hots and lotv. so either 1) it was a hindsight in the first place for not having global access or 2) they changed their mind (either money or approach ie. separated metagame shift) i expected stuff like global acess and multiple accounts, as it has been with past blizzard games, after lotv The simple and probably more likely reason it wasnt in at launch was either that they underestimated how much people would want it or they didnt have it ready in time. A lot of the HotS features were probably features they wanted to put in WoL but didnt finish in time because at some point you have to launch your game.
You know, you could launch it when it's done.
Or launch it and complete all the features in the next expansion 2 years later, that's cool too.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS
All I can really say here xD

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW FUCK YEAH!!!!!
Now I can be forever stuck in bottom 50 Bronze on Kr ladder :p

I have a buddy in korea who just test this out (not SC2, but playing a game on a EU server from korea). His latency was over 500 ms. There is no way in hell europeans will be able to go Korean server  that's unplayable lag.

Spending 2 more years developing a game with zero return isnt really a sound business venture especially when you are launching 2 expansions where you can slip in anything that didnt get finished in time for core game.

So glad competition is forcing them to step it up, this + all the other features coming in HotS make me really hopeful about the future of SC2 ^_^
|
I didn't think the technology was there yet, but yay!
|
This is def very good and awesome and everything. But why? over 2 years too late. They even had it in BW why not implement it directly in bnet.2.0 ? Took too long imo.

Good point, that is if the technology isn't there yet.
It exists a decade ago, on the predecessor of the game itself.
I'm no programmer, but I don't see how it would take 2 years after launch to implement it.

You need to get your ass playing again!

2 years late? lol
Prepare yourself for worldwide competition, as Global Play will be added to StarCraft II in an upcoming patch in the coming months.
soon™ ?

People you wont be placed in Bronze league simply because there arent enough players playin sc2 in Korea...

awwwww this is gonna be soooo awesome!!!!! ^_________^
And I live in Cali so the latency shouldn't be that bad yeeee yeeeeeeeeee

Lets say I have 20 bonus things i want to put into SC2 and I have 2-3 teams of people whos job it is to make them and have it work. What you do of course is set a priority list and set your teams to work on each of there assignments with what you think is plenty of time to finish them all before launch.
As programming continues though you run into implimentation issues, issues making it work, and the occational weird bug that you cant explain because it doesnt seem to make sense, or even someone spending too much time making something work. This causes delays over time and all of a sudden what you thought was plenty of time becomes you picking and choosing things to delay until HotS and then once the game launches and you are starting on next game the cycle repeats.
