ANYONE NOT IN LIST DESPITE POSTING ON THREAD PLEASE PM ME THANK YOU
Also, kindly follow this format when posting: LYN Nick + Ingame nick + Char code + Region please

Updated the FAQ to add in the posting format as well.


FAQ Session
(PLEASE refer this post before you spam the thread with regionlock/blizz sux/activision sux/shit no werk posts)

Q: Where can i buy Starcraft 2?
You may refer from IAH official website here: http://blizzard.iahgames.com/wheretobuy.html#_malaysia
Additionally, you may purchase from others sellers on LYN or online stores. However it will be impossible to list all of them out here, and it would be biased to list just a select few. Please use the search function and/or follow through this very sc2 thread as the sellers themselves are also Active posters within this thread thank you.

Q: How much is Starcraft 2 priced?
A: For SEA region, it is priced MYR248. For US region, it is priced at USD60 (59.9 to be exact, but seriously, lol)
Do note that sellers will be selling cheaper than the standard price to draw in potential buyers, and may or may not include freebies such as dog tags and/or t-shirts. Other than that, NO DIFFERENCE.

Q: Is my computer able to support Starcraft 2? (aka the system requirements)
A: The official System requirements is not 'quite yet' released, however based on the beta and tech support information, it is as follows:

Source: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml...42&locale=en_US

Q: I still do not know how much HDD space i should free despite reading the above
A: It's ok, I will further elaborate:

Q: Is Starcraft II region restricted?
A: Yes

Q: Is there any monthly subscription?
A: For the SEA and US version, no. However there is an optional subscription based service for the Russian version and some other regions/versions.

Q: If i wanted to play sc2 with my american friends on US server and local buddies on SEA server, Do i have to buy 2 copies?
A: for the time being, yes. However blizzard has mentioned to allow cross region/servers playability few months down the road after release. Refer sources here and here.

Q: Will Starcraft 2 work if i just copy and paste it on another machine without installing/patching again?
A: Yes. As starting from Blizzard's World of Warcraft, and now Starcraft 2 they no longer rely on Windows Registry. Ideally, it is recommended to complete your patching and confirm that your sc2 is able to run/login before copying to another machine.

Q: If i just started the beta now, will i need to patch from the beginning?
A: Yes and no, starting phase 2 there is a large "cumulated" patch so you'll kinda be patching just that patch. Alternatively, you may get external patch download mirrors that support segmented DDLs as SC2 default patching is torrent based with a blizzard server as the main seed (which is compatible to people that have torrent issues, however speeds may not be ideal)
update: it is confirmed that you start from patch 16 cumulated patch for phase 2 if you just downloaded/installed a fresh copy of SC2

Q: Can i leave the patching process overnight as i just started the beta/game and have to download from the very first patch?
A: Yes. The patching process is automated and will patch the game from beginning till current latest version.

Q: Can i install Starcraft 2 on multiple machines? eg: install on both PC and laptop
A: Yes. Your copy of starcraft 2 cd/product key merely allows you to "add" the game into your Battle.net account. And the key will be forever died to that account. In other words, it doesn't matter how many machines you install Starcraft 2 on, so long you have your b.net account added sc2 game with a valid cdkey, it will work.

Q: Will the future Starcraft 2 Expansions (Heart of the Swarm 'zerg' & Legacy of the Void 'protoss') run without the original first (Wings of Liberty)?
A: FFS, you might want to ask it when the time comes as Blizzard haven't release much, if any details about them. Though if anything, considering the past blizzard titles such as Diablo 2. World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3 etc, Yes the original will be required.

Q: Can i be added to the player list please?
A: Sure, kindly follow this format: LYN Nick + Ingame nick + Char code + Region
Thank you.

Q: Can i change my player/nick name? (such as registering a new nick name/account like we could on warcraft 3/diablo2)
A: No. Once you put in your in game char name it will be permanent. You WILL NOT be able to change it later.
As there are currently no plans to offer a name changing service, please be careful and be certain of your choice in names.

Q: What is a Character code?
A: It is a random unique non duplicate code to identify people in the event of same/similar nick name, and it can be found via hovering your mouse over your own name/profile area.

Q: What is the difference of RealID friend and Normal Friend on your friends list?
A: RealID requires acceptance from the targeted friend before you can form RealID friends. It shows their Real Life names, able to link to other Blizzard games such as World of Warcraft, and even social networking sites such as Facebook. Where else a normal friend adding only requires you to add the person (by simply right clicking the person's name > and add to friends) , and only the nick name will be showed without any of the added functionalities that RealID offers similar to the one you have on Starcraft 1/Warcraft 3 battle.net.

btw, go ahead and add posts if you need more. mods can delete any posts in between, and they are already watching.

see, i post that on the first page posts, and yet people still asks. now do you see what i mean? :/

recalling the previous posts from a certain person. you know what, nevermind. lol

on the side note, i dont think id be giving a shit for cata beta lol. sc2 is ftw XD
cata release however, could be worth considering.

dont know bout you, but im feeling kinda bad allocating my weekend to my bed. lol

just started reading horo book 2 lol

hc is most likely hard cover

hell, its not yet time.

GOLDEN blizz, just GOLDEN.

sc2 website, lol.

naw, only going Singapore year end for AFA lol

should have lol

considering WoW, not really.

besides, ping times and server load (unless severe cases) usually don't relate much as its the response time that is at stake here assumingly server is not overloaded (which again, considering blizzard and WoW's capabilities on handling servers)

Added on July 7, 2010, 10:25 amIAH will still be involved though, which is the source of people's doubts.

Added on July 7, 2010, 10:26 amcant relate war3/sc as they arent entirely based on centralized server architecture as the current sc2 is. WoW on the other hand yes.
