Oh yeah I forgot about the region thing, it costs $5 to buy another battlenet login for another region, I really didn't like how they set that up :/

Well, it is nice that they at least provide some means of it, but it kind of sucks that you can't just... you know, go to other regions like you used to be able to.

[nemafow]

Yeah, I heard some pr0 players having a whinge, because they can't fight against different regions players to get some diversity on tactics, as different regions play differently to others.

Btw glad to see your still alive Karoline (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Havn't heard about that $5 option, yet (and cannot find anything in my account to do that either; how do you get there?).

I did know that they were planning to have some way to soften the region borders somewhat, though.

I guess there were a lot of complaints about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Btw glad to see your still alive Karoline (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for the concern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I do have a tendency to drop off every once in a while, I'm very moody like that. It's usually a combination of being interested in other things for a while and having no concept of time, and not realizing it's been a couple weeks since I last posted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Heh sorry I don't know where to do it yet either tbh, but I remember it being mentioned as an official SC2 comment, perhaps it hasnt been setup yet?
Or perhaps you need to purchase a separate account per region (and can't upgrade your current)?

Heh all good, just glad your back for Shadowwars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

well i bought this game today. damn 65 bucks. But I decided to reward myself nontheless. If this is like warcraft 3 then it will be well worth it, in terms of gameplay and all. Haven't installed it yet, gonna wait till after the wife yells at me for buying it, with the palet cleansed then I will enjoy.

[Thanee]

Fortunately it is not like WarCraft 3. It is much better! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I decided not to tell the wife. I've only played 3 missions so far, gonna try and pace myself to make it last. Its reputation proceeds itself, the game so far is all i expected and more. Great graphics, interesting storyline, characters and music. Looks like you can get certain achievements for each mission (like playing on easy, intermediate, or hard mode). The game seems to be well worth the dough.


The down side is you have to have a battlenet account to even play the game. When I installed I was amazed that you had to register before playing. I put the game on my account I already had on WOW when blizzard forced me to merge my wow account with battle net. You have to log onto the battle net account before playing the game and sure enough, i see my real name on it. If I knew this little tidbit, I definately would not have bought the game, my own picadillos and paranoia about having that info for peeps to see. It is unfortunate, but it seems it might be the case with all blizzard games.

the game is definately worth the money, if you are not a crank tin foil hat wearing crack pot like I am, having personal information on display isn't bad at all. I give it 4 thumbs up, 5 if i can somehow take all that private info off.

On the bright side, it doesn't actually display your real name to other people. You have to do something special to have them see that. I think if they're an account friend as opposed to just a WoW or Bnet friend they can see it, but just random people you are playing with, and even your normal friends, won't see you're real name.

[Thanee]

Yep, only your "Real ID Friends" (i.e. when you add someone to your friends list not by username but by email and the other person agrees to it) can see your real name.

Well i finished the campagin awhile back. It still reatians my 4 out of 5 thumbs up raiting, still hate that I have to log on to play the game. New complaint was that it was way too short and it was in danger of dropping to 3 out of 5 thumbs, but then i realise that most games nowdays are not like they used to be so I forgave them.

I've just been playing the A.I. and have yet to play a real person for battles. the 3 play co op is kinda fun. Getting all the achievements for each mission is alright though can be frustrating at times.

as before good game if you got 65 bucks to burn.

[Thanee]

I find, that the higher difficulties add quite some replayability. And then there are the Challenges.

It's quite ok for content.

As for logging on... I think you do not need to. You can play the single player campaign as a "guest", which is playing offline.
