I know this could probably go in the news post or another SC2 section thread, but since it is a petition it would get more notice this way with it's own thread. Yea, Blizzard confirmed there isn't a LAN, due to Battle.net 2.0 restraints, but we all know they actively browse a lot of SC communities so if maybe, just maybe, if they see how many people want LAN they'll change their minds.

..this petition has also been posted by other people on other sites.

Edit: Actually, maybe a mod can close this and append it to the OP in this thread:

Most of the people that want LAN back have horrible reasons.

The only people this affects is those without an internet connection.

That's such a stupid comment. LAN is a staple medium for many gamers, even today. LAN parties and shared housing between players aren't that uncommon, where internet access can frequently be spotty and needing to use it for every game could be irksome.

It's seriously not even a big deal to include LAN support (it's the norm!), so I cannot see the reasoning here.

If everyone in the household is able to connect to Battle.net then they will be able to play with each other at LAN speeds, even if their internet connection is extremely poor.

If you disconnect from the internet during the game, you will not disconnect from the game. This is because the information will be sent over LAN and not over the internet.

If all users in the household cannot connect to the internet at the same time, then you will need to invest in a cheap $30 router.

Im going to close this. Once Bnet 2.0 Features get released then you can complain about no lan.

Yeah entirely. Because blizzard can confirm 100% uptime with their new bnet with no discs and no lag? No lan kills real life esports events imo. This has been brought up before, but imagine an OSL on bnet, or a gigantic lan event that now has to include a net connection for everyone if they want to play SC2.
