Don't worry I'm sure someone will hack a way to play with people in other regions. Even LAN support may pop up after several months.

People on the PC seems to get what they want one way or another and since it's an open platform they usually succeed, so anything that was painful and just plain stupid should get "fixed."

There won't be region restrictions on the retail release. Blizzard always separates players of different regions in their Betas. I assume there is a good reason for it that just hasn't been publicly stated yet.

I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of how awesome it is to play Star Craft 2. Gotta speak up man. This much awesome could make a man go deaf.

Well usually there are Battlegroups, which is "kind of" restriction. In W3 you have 4 gates, 2x for NA, 1x EU, 1x Asia. You can join other BG's but with different accounts and get ready for some serious lag.

BTW for all those wanting to try Beta - on torrents there is already cracked beta with simple AI to play against on few maps.

Oh shit, did they do the friend invites already?

I need to reach my friend FAST.

That was a while back. You would need to work to get one now probably. Maxwell got me mine a while back thankfully. Of course it helps that I was the first to ask probably(I told him he had a beta invite heh).

That was kinda low Machina. I am kind of surprised more people here didn't end up with a key. Oh well. More people I can taunt kkthxla~

Yeah I regret not giving it away now. Mind you, it was bloody low of Blizz to not allow you to play with people outside of your region anyway (which they intend to do with the retail release as well). If they hadn't done that I could've given it away :/

You are telling dying men in the desert, "if blizzard hadn't been playing with that dirt, I wouldn't have had to use the last of the water to wash my car."

In fact, I think this comic explains how I feel right now...

Well... so far I haven't won any game because I'm playing it like it's SC1. I haven't played much yet though. I guess I have to play against the AI a few times to get the hang of the new units.

In terms of bugs, the voice chat doesn't work at all for me (and I heard you have to explicitly tunnel some ports in the router, which is lame as other games like TF2 work fine with voice chat).

Got the pirated version just to see how it olooks and it looks pretty nice, though some abilities did look as if they could be a bit overpowered.

Played some on my friend's account since he doesn't play all that much and I have been getting my ass handed to me. I feel like I have been too spoiled by recent RTSes and my abilities to play well in real RTSes have gone down quite a bit it seems

According to Blizzard the Terran players are getting owned even in the top-skill leagues, so yeah there is definitely some overpowered stuff.
