It all depend on Blizzard how many people are gonna come with F2P, are they going to go all out with the advertisement start paying the popular streamers to play SC2 etc or are they just gonna leave it on the youtube channel and battle.net starcraft area (which is going to bring hardly anyone.) Thats why I recommended for them to finally do some cross promotion, like WoW + Hearthstone, Hearthstone + HOTS, HOTS + WoW, Overwatch + HOTS, Diablo + HOTS, etc. SC2 is the only game that didnt get any cross promotion, if they can do something like, level a commander to 5, you get 5 packs or something in Hearthstone, thatd be significant, or an exclusive skin.
Yeah if they really want people to get into sc2 they should do this + other advertisement + pay streamers to play.

I still want to see them awarding an Overwatch skin for winning 10 ladder games because the entire thing will be hilarious.

Battle.net has like a discord group function now, he's asking if TL has one.

Sorry if this is off topic, but before ill start to play at the 14th, is there a way to turn off skins in sc2?

i agree with cross promotion being essential. They can't just flip a F2P switch and expect success without some marketing and incentives to play. Cross promoting unlocks with their other games shouldn't even cost them anything but a bit of time.
They might be waiting until it's officially released to advertise though.

Very nice and well done Blizzard.
Would have prefered if called it something else then free to play tho, almost everyone who heard it thought it would include expansions and ranked ladder.
It really really good but it more of an expanded version of the current starter edition then giving away content people bought the game for.

Maintenence will be from 18:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC tomorrow. Release should be within an hour or 2 of that if there are no issues on Blizzard's end.

This is a good move by blizzard, one of the reasons wc3 was so popular in china was because it was free to play. The only problem i think is that it would have been nice to have the game free to play from the get go there would have been way more players trying out the game and possibly moving it in a different direction where it would be in a more positive position than it is now.

Wc3 only went f2p in China in the last 2 or 3 years.

WC3 was always f2p as far as I'm concerned... As long as you don't use the battle.net. Same with BW.

So, maintenance 18:00-22:00, with a two hour delay would mean that the game is free to play on November 15 in everything east of Ireland, i.e. the vast majority of the player base. It isn't a very SC thing to do, say 14 when it is 15 for most people.

If thats the case, then basically every single game on the planet is f2p so there is no difference.
