Hi guys,

I have a few friends in Europe that I've been wanting to play SC2 with, and so recently I got a hold of a EU key. I registered it to my account, and downloaded the EU client, but now I'm stuck. It keeps saying it will have to overwrite my "Documents/Starcraft II" folder to install the EU client. How do I get around that, as I don't see a way to create a seperate Documents folder for the EU version? I tried googling this, and I'm tired of looking, so I'm hoping I can get a quick answer here.

Thanks,
All help is appreciated.

I've tried replacing the document folder and everything was fine. The replays are still saved in different folders so as long as you install EU client in another folder then you should be good to go.

There was another way in beta people used to use the same client on different servers just by switching the one file around, not sure if this still works in retail.. can anyone confirm? (I'm thinking of buying other clients and would like to know as well)

Nevermind, dumb post.

Anyway, the Blizzard support lady told me you can't login to Europe with a NA account even with an EU license. Seems dumb.

Interesting how blizzard seems to really try hard keeping players at one and only one realm.

Of course you could just make a backup of the "Starcraft II" folder.

Oh no, did I spoil it?
