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.
