You will need to download the antihack launcher ( http://www.iccup.com/files/view/Anti-Hack_Launcherr.html ) , and the iCCup registry file( http://www.iccup.com/files/view/iCCup_Reg_file_02.html ), open and save the registry file into your registry and then you can login and play on iCCup. If you need any further help feel free to message me on Skype, i will be glad to help you in the game or helping you get things working. Skype : TelecomRG Enjoy your Starcraft : BW experience~ and don't get upset after losing a bunch of games before winning, that is very common for new people just starting out. Keep your head up ! GL! | ||

I have a question - how to find "newbies" to play against in Brood War? are there any special channels for newcomers? iCCup server has ranks system, so D- and E ranks stand for newbies. Your special channel is D- (there is no E channel). | ||

I'm picking up BW too, if only to see if it is more fun than SC2. Also, I'm a Windows 7 user on a beastly laptop with an extremely unstable internet. It is not uncommon for me to get temporarily disconnected 2-3 times in a single Starcraft 2 game. Is there anything I should worry about that I don't have to worry about in SC2? You know, things like messed up colors, crashing game, incorrect losses, buggy stuff like that that I should avoid at all costs? Finally, when I looked at the iCCup rules, there were a variety of bugs both forbidden and... bidden(?) that I'm not familiar with. Are there any of them I'll actually have to try to avoid, or are most of them relatively complex and very difficult to stumble upon by accident? | ||

Most are difficult to find yourself without explicitly looking for them. One example that is legal is keeping Terran turrets from firing by first maneuvering a Protoss observer directly above one and then pressing the "Stop" command on the observer. Things like that you won't really think to even try without first hearing about it so you shouldn't be worried about accidentally breaking a rule. BW runs fine on Windows 7. I don't even run iCCup launcher with compatibility enabled. Have fun and go learn some builds! | ||

For a totally new player Fish would be an awful choice (maybe it's different if you know Korean and can communicate though). He'd get banned from melee games for having to dl (and even in game, would be just getting crushed.) Best bet, as has been suggested is sGs. Try to make some friends and find people who are new to play with. For total beginners play by yourself a bit and watch some basic stuff on youtube to get started. edit: BW has always worked totally fine for me on Windows 7 both 32 and 64 bit pro versions (on two different systems.) The only tiny bug is sometimes colors go weird in lobbies but in game is always fine. | ||
