I have a question, does this mean when we buy HotS, that license only applies to one region (assuming you only have one region in your account)? Since those with multiple regions on a single account get HotS license for all of the regions in their account.

Also, that's kind of weird. If you choose to put different regions on different accounts, that means when you switch to HotS, that's your loss right? But if you chose to put everything in one single account, then you get more HotS licenses. Lmao.

People keep missing the point. If Blizzard is going to give people one separate WoL account per license bought (what an outlandish concept, right?), then everything is fine. If they don't and you still defend them, well.. then you most likely haven't thought this through.


Well that's just your opinion.

In my opinion Blizzard doesn't owe you jack shit and doing anything about this is entirely optional.

So you would be cool with it if blizzard would delete your sc2 account just because they can?

Ah, but you got something - you got another region play - at a time when others who only bought one copy couldn't get it. At that time that luxury was expensive. Now it's cheaper.

It's like getting an expensive PC that's now cheaper, and asking to get the new expensive PC for free, basically.

Thats a good way to put it...

It would be a good way to put it, if it was comparable. But it's not comparable.

It's like you had a dual core PC, and then you bought a second dual core PC.
Then someone released a quad core PC, and upgraded your dual core PC to a quad core for free. And took away your second PC.
HOLY CHECK!

This thread reminds me of people complaining about spoilers on twitter. As service they willingly sign into and subscribe to, which they then use to complain about spoilers they receive from said service.

LOL how is it the same thing?

The current situation boils down to:

Scenario A:
1. Person A buys x regions of sc2 and puts it into 1 b.net account
2. Blizzard implements global play
3. Person A now only has 1 global play sc2 account and 1 b.net account

Scenario B:
1. Person B buys x regions of sc2 and puts it into x different b.net account
2. Blizzard implement global play
3. Person B now has x global play sc2 account and x b.net account

Simply put, it's just blizzard should've told people to to add seperate sc2 accounts instead of cramming them all into 1 b.net account, risking losing all your money from global play.

People that brought multiple SC2 accounts like me, I have 4 myself, shouldn't be reimbursed due to global play was never confirmed at the start of SC2 and its only just come out. It wasn't a part of SC2 before hand when you brought those regions so got what you payed for. Your lucky enough your getting HotS on all accounts when you buy it once.

Agreed sir. It is like being asked to be reimbursed for extra copies you bought just to change your clan tag, because now there are clan features.

Hopefully Fuhrer Obama will issue an executive order forcing Activision to credit me a free copy of HoTS for my extra accounts.

It's really not fair at all that I bought a product that didn't have global play advertised, and now that its available in a completely different product I should get it for no cost.

How is it any different from me buying my 26" monitor for $250 only to have BestBuy lower the price of the monitor to $199 the VERY NEXT DAY?

Do I go to BestBuy and demand a free $50 rebate? No. I suck it up and realize that this shit is bound to happen to at least 1% of the population and vow to be a smarter consumer from now on.

You guys bought multiple SC2 accounts, probably without even messaging customer support in making sure that global play wouldn't be available. Sure hindsight is 20/20, but when shit happens you just chalk it up to "shit happens," not stick your hand out for a free gimme.
My opinion anyways.
All that glitters is not gold, all that wander are not lost, the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by frost.

Blizzard doesn't owe anyone anything. No one forced you to select a certain region for your primary copy of the game, and no one forced you to buy a secondary copy so you could play on another region. The second copy was purchased knowing full well that global play may be added at a later date. Also, during the time you had the 2nd copy, you were using it for what you purchased it for. Just because you can't use it now, doesn't mean you are entitled to something.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine the parameters for success.

The only thing they should do is give another wol account...because if i would have put it on another email i would already have 2xglobal play accounts for which i paid for. Nothing more nothing less.

"Basically we paid twice for WoL in order to get something that is now a part of the base WoL package, so IMO we should get back that money in some fashion. Getting a free copy of HotS seems reasonable, since it was Blizzard being bad at making a game that caused the whole issue in the first place."

Are you serious? You bought multiple copies FULLY AWARE that things could change to the game/global play maybe available one day. Now you feel entitled to getting something in return because blizzard is UPGRADING their game? I can't even take this thread serious. When you spend money you should know exactly what you are spending it on. Don't ever expect someone to give you something for free in return when they upgrade their product.
JD, need I say more? :D

Which is all what most of the people here are asking for. I mean, if you have 3 accounts, you could just sell the other 2 and buy HotS from that, anyhow.

But nope, apparently we're all fucking entitled and should've predicted that this would happen two years ago. Yeah, right.

Haha, so much confusion in this thread. Only thing people want is not lose all of their extra bought WoL licences that are on the same battle.net account.
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

With HotS release additional accounts would've become worthless anyway. I mean who will play WoL after HotS release?
And HotS will have global play from day 1, so yeah.
I'll just give my NA SC2 account to my friend ( I have it on separate battle.net account, because why not. Never saw any reasons in adding all keys to one account ) and upgrade EU one to HotS and friend will upgrade NA one to HotS as well.

And people who added the account to the same email address want to be able to do the same thing. Those entitled monsters.

This, at least. Giving us extra accounts isn't going to hurt anything. We were SUPPOSED to have a separate MMR and ladder ranking for each race we play, but Blizzard apparently never followed up on that - having 3 accounts so you can play offrace and have fun without fucking demolishing your MMR into Platinum league would be nice . . .

Simply put: no.

No one forced you to buy multiple copies to begin with, and it's pretty much your own fault for wasting your money on multiple copies anyways.

If Blizzard would grant you access on hotS for free just because you bought multiple copies, I might as well buy another copy and say I didn't know about gp and get hotS for free myself.. So silly.

Except another copy would cost more than HoTS since it will be priced as an expansion. Use your brain please. Anyway, people with multiple WoL copies/accounts should only have to buy 1 HoTS copy and be able to transfer all their WoL accounts over to ladder with, at the very least. Buying 4 WoL copies to have a spare account for practicing builds on your mainrace, then an account for each offrace should not mean you have to buy 4 HoTS copies (for a total of 8) just to do the very same thing. If you like the game enough to buy 4 copies of the game, Blizzard should appreciate that and throw you a bone by allowing you to purchase the expansion and continue to use those accounts. It's called customer appreciation, especially for your most lucrative customers. They shouldn't fucking bloodsuck you and make you buy a HoTS game for each WoL game you bought, that's fucking evil.

You have a SC2 account for each WoL copy you bought. Buying HoTS should simply be the equivalent of buying the right to unlock the expansion and play it. On all of your accounts, not just on one at a time. It's an expansion, after all.
