just like world cup, u gotta qualify within ur region to join it...

i'm still patching my cata beta "
its close to 18 hours already LOL...
14gig of data ++ is scary >.<

the total final size (of the folder) is 31.2gig lol...
1mbps screamyx i guess...
took me around 30 hrs? for the client and the patching etc...
so i guess nt so bad...

after all blizz never really release an updated client thus the first client back up...

if sc2 beta phase 2 is using a new client...
i'll faint >.<

yup...
the lower settings requirement is not high so dun worry...

i said lower settings >.<
ultra is not low!!!

well for non-raid, our connection to wow is pretty ok but for raids we would require some form of tunneling at times (i do direct connect often)...
for sc2 beta so far, my connection been really good since i got my own line straight to my room lol...

Added on July 7, 2010, 4:56 pmbtw on the RealID issue...
i have first hand experience on it in WoW...

u only add ur real life fren or really close frens as ur RealID frens...
u can still add other people via their IGN...
RealID links all the users directly via bnet (i can see my frens playing sc2 and whisper him to login wow and help in raids etc)...
thus if u dun really know that person, DO NOT ADD HIM AS UR REAL ID FREN...
and if ppl add u, u can choose to approve or reject...

dude, no1 force u to add some random dude u met as a RealID fren...
u can still add him as a regular fren (aka non-bnet) with only ur IGN revealed...

quoting from gormaz

lol dun tell me u can win loot over someone in blizzard forum LOL...
the context of my 'that' reply was about within the game itself where all the action happens...

matured adults would not be bothered with forums for flame wars etc...

and @ cheese
no offense but stop finding faults which stuffs already implemented and claimed others to be sucking it... i have over 20 realID contacts in WoW which all of them are i know off in RL or some exceptionally close frens...

no u cant...
u would need that guy's bnet email to add him as a realID fren...
that's y i dun get why are people overreacting to realID...

within the game u would have 2 IDs: -
- ur realID aka ur bNet ID which is only seen by those u added/ approved as realID frens (requires that person's email for bnet in order to add)
- ur in game ID aka ur IGN/ nickname

ur privacy is still protected as long as u dun broadcast ur bnet email to other ppl...
btw ur realID = ur bnet email denoted by ur firstname/lastname combination on ur contact list...

note: ur firstname/ lastname combination IS NOT UR REALID... ur realID = ur bnetID = ur bnet email login... ppl can have similar firstname/ lastname combination but not similiar bnet email login

WRONG: ur forum shows ur firstname/ lastname and your main IGN, not ur bnet name/ ID... as i said ur bnet would always be protected... u just need to login wit ur bnet (which is the case now since most of the things u do wit blizzard requires u to login with ur bnet ID)

"The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name -- with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it. These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged."

read the FAQ

see post number Post #173
what i've mentioned are not guesses...
its the combination of the FAQ and wut i've experienced...

the FAQ http://kr.battle.net/realid/faq.html
as i've said, most of the proposed bnet system? large part of them are already inplemented in WoW and accepted

How will I become Real ID friends with another player?
Both players must first mutually agree to become Real ID friends. To send a Real ID friend request to another player, simply enter his or her Battle.net account name (an email address) using the Add Friend function in-game. The other player will see the pending request in their friends list, and if they accept, you will become Real ID friends with each other.

Will Battle.net inform me if I enter an invalid Battle.net account name when I send a Real ID friend request?
A player who sends a Real ID friend request will only be notified if the other player accepts the request. To protect the privacy and security of all of our players, the requesting player will not be notified if the email address entered is an invalid Battle.net account name or if the other player declines the request.

What’s a World of Warcraft friend or StarCraft II friend?
A World of Warcraft friend is any player you add to your friends list by World of Warcraft character name; this works just like adding friends works in World of Warcraft now. You will be able to add StarCraft II character names to your StarCraft II friends list in a similar fashion. If you add a character name to your friends list and are not Real ID friends with the player, you will not see the player’s real name in the game, nor will they see yours. Character-level friends such as these are specific to each game (i.e. World of Warcraft character friends cannot see each other in StarCraft II or communicate cross-game) and can see online and offline status information only, not Rich Presence details or Broadcast messages. Other characters that a World of Warcraft friend creates will not automatically be added to your friends list.

What information about me will other players see in-game if I do not use Real ID?
If you are not using Real ID, only the in-game character name and online/offline status of the character you are playing will be visible to other players, and only within that game.

Will my Battle.net account name (email address) be visible to Real ID friends or on the forums?
No. Your Battle.net account name (email address) is never displayed to Real ID friends, either in-game or on the forums. Furthermore, no personal information beyond your real name is shared with any other player at any time.

How will Real ID be integrated with the official forums?
Beginning in mid-July, players who post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, the real-life first and last name associated with their Battle.net account. In addition, players also will have the option to display the name of their primary in-game character (plus related in-game information such as guild and realm) alongside their real name. You’ll also begin seeing blue posters (i.e. Blizzard employees) posting by their real first and last names on our forums as well.

These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged.

What information about me will other players see when I use Real ID?
If you are using Real ID, your mutual Real ID friends, as well as their Real ID friends, will be able to see your first and last name (the name registered to the Battle.net account). You will also be able to see the first and last name of your Real ID friends and their Real ID friends. Your Battle.net account name (your email address) is not displayed to other players through the Real ID friends list. In addition, players with Real ID relationships will be able to view each other's online status, Rich Presence information, and Broadcast messages, and will be able to see which character and game their Real ID friends are playing across supported Blizzard games.

Added on July 7, 2010, 6:05 pmafter the patch, u need to accept the EULA etc...

This post has been edited by evofantasy: Jul 7 2010, 06:05 PM

i ask u a very simple question, if u dun reveal other personal information about urself online how can people track u down?
very simple cast of internet security...

is proves that u are not reading the whole FAQ or bluepost to begin with or the same case with several other ppl...
try to understand the whole context and not jz pinpoint any lines alone...

people here has been saying about ppl u know in game tracking ur bnet ID then stalking u in real life etc...
none of which are really true...

if u have accepted the privacy agreement, it already means u are conforming to their way of handling ur private information...
if u dun like how ur private information is revealed, then do not accept it...

---

Added on July 7, 2010, 6:11 pmwhy is the an invasion of privacy WHEN YOU ACCEPT the company's way of using ur personal information?
if u accept it means u are already fine with it...
if they breach it then by all means sue them...

its the same as how facebook apps are using ur personal data/ pics etc...

This post has been edited by evofantasy: Jul 7 2010, 06:20 PM

try to know more about the study of privacy issues on the internet...
if ur information somehow leaked on the internet, its not ur firstname/ lastname issue but rather that leaked source itself...

see post Post #185 btw
