this doesn't change anything for me. i am only diamond on EU, so i dont need a harder challenge on any other server. even if i was better, ping issues would probably effect my gameplay. anyway, this should have been implemented ~2 years ago, before a lot of people bought KR accounts

I have a question: The only reason why I never played on other servers is, because I heard you have lag (high ping). How will Blizz fix this issue?


Blizzard can't fix that issue, it depends on where you live and your isp.


Well if an old program iccup for bw allowed me to play anyone in the world without latency I am pretty sure blizzard can.

I don't know much about networking but I remember playing on iccup, playing verse koreans/europeans/etc and having absolutely no latency issues.

Now why could this not be possible for sc2?

First of all, yes, you still had high latency on iccup.
Second, BW was peer to peer, while SC2 is server/client based (I think), so they work very differently.


Not too much. I used to play against Korean players (Im european) with very few ping, I could micro mutas

BW was not peer to peer, it was the lan latency plugin for chaos launcher (used in iccup, fish, etc.). Official battle.net was super laggy.


Yeah I don't remember getting any. I could muta micro perfect (will for the most part at my low C level haha).
When I think of something else, something will go here

Yeah I get what you mean. I doubt I'll play any better or find much difference challenge wise, though the metagame may be different. The only real difference for me will be ping, since both SEA and NA have apparently got worse ping than KR for Australians. Seriously hoping this is the case so I can just play there all the time.

The other thing is, i assume ladder rankings will be separated, so you could have an account on a server to offrace and another on your main server to main race.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Should we be happy that we get a 10+ years old technology that was supposed to be available from the start?

i gotta laugh at the reeposnes in ths thread!
PEOPLE!
this is so that you can play with friends who are in NA when you are on EU or something, why would you play on the KR server??? challenge? lol only few care about that
i will only ladder on EU. You always have the best pings on your home region, why sjouild i torment myself with higher ping?
In LoL, i play with a ping of 14! beat that
the servers are in my country^^

I like this, however, i somehow have a silly feeling that everyone is just going to play on the korean server?

i mean it kind of depends on the lag you get i guess, but i would think most people would go where the competition is fiercest..

what do you guys think?


I will try out the other servers purely out of curiosity. But lag will factor hugely. At least, when you play vs the koreans, you get the authentic experience I suppose.

Why we still have to wait for MONTHS? A Geeker unlocked this stuff from the client about 2 months ago, and all starter edition can use it.
(But if you has more than one unlimited edition, you can not use it because of some "language problems" which are made by Blizzard)

I change to KR if I find that games aren't just macrofests like NA.

What...??

I mean its good, but does this mean KR server can be filled with less-skilled players and therefore the "standard" of KR server is gone because anybody can play there?
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

It works also the other way around, Koreans join EU/NA and raise the skill level there.

I thought the technology wasn't there yet? Blizzard must have some pretty sick scientists working for them. What's next? Playing in a local network without Internet access? Oh brave new world!

This is great.

However, my only qualm is this: The SEA server where I play in is a small yet tight knit community, with people who are generally well mannered. The skill levels are regarded by consensus to be stronger than NA/EU at lower levels, while equalizing at around diamond or so, and having less powerful grandmasters.

If this option is opened up, many SEA players seeking to prove themselves elsewhere will probably go, making the already tiny community even smaller. Trolls from other servers will probably enter to smurf, making it less enjoyable for the low leagues.

I'm calling it now: I bet all the scrubs from NA will go to KR hoping for 'leet grindan', and the Koreans will get so sick of the influx they'll all move to SEA.
