Quote:Yes, allowing free play on whatever server you like would be nice, though to be honest, I only really care about European servers, as I don't speak Korean. RAAAAIIIN! Sorry don't know where that came from. The biggest issue is the total lack of basic LAN support. I've got a friend with a really slow internet connection, but a perfectly good router. If my friends all go there, are we really expected to all sign in and use a really slow connection rather than just a direct LAN to each other? That sounds pretty dumb.
Whether or not you are going to use the other servers, can't you see why not allowing that is such a hugely important deal? I mean, other than going between USEast and USWest (there better be only one US server in SC2 if this block holds up!), the reasons why such a restriction is so awful are very obvious -- how do people play against friends in other parts of the world? How do good players play on the server with the best players, if it isn't in their region? Blizzard wants those things to be impossible, and that's despicable.
And, of course, the restrictions on mapmaking are so crippling to a major part of any Blizzard RTS. Custom maps are such a huge part of Blizzard RTS online play, crippling them so badly really is shocking... that must change.
