Admin Note:

You will now be able to buy a Starcraft 2 "Korean" account through out store legally.
http://www.sc2sea.com/cartplog.php

First make sure to read our step by step installation guide to Setting up your Korean Starcraft 2 account and follow the instructions to test your latency cause there is no point playing on KR/TW if you're going to lag badly.

Anyone know where to buy? please help thanks!

Yea go onto ebay.com not .au and search korean starcraft or something like that. Theres a guy who sells the already made Korean accounts because you need a visa and a Korean address to register a Korean server account. Costs $100.

Yep, exactly what minimat said. Ebay it !

Micron, I have a korean account you can use in the mean time.

Be aware that buying Korean accounts from ebay breaks korean law. Though you are unlikely to have any legal problems as korea likely won't prosecute outside of korea you're still taking a risk of losing your money.
They can ban without warning or the person's ID you are using can easily gain control of the account.
I would suggest having a korean friend sign up for you if you can. Then you can buy the game yourself for < $70

I talked to artosis about this.

Basically you enter your korean SSN because over there internet flaming is a big deal, and if you're caught doing it, you can get your pants sued off.

Its very hard, even artosis said he's like kwani's grandmother or someone.

so... gl.

Ask a Korean friend because it only costs $35 atm. Paying $100 for an ebay one is a huge ripoff.

SayfT · Tue, 10th-May-2011, 1:41 PM

all the korean people i know told me that giving out their KSN might get them into trouble and most of them have nfi what an i-pin is :S, hell i'd pay $100 to have a KR account on my main b.net account (unlike the ebay dude who gets you a KR acc using a new email :<)

ke_ivan · Tue, 10th-May-2011, 3:39 PM

can't you just register/buy a kr account with blizzard over account settings?

SayfT · Tue, 10th-May-2011, 4:29 PM

nop, need to have a korean social security number or an i-pin (some kind of KSN equivalent online ID afaik), without that you cannot buy the game.

Strafe · Wed, 11th-May-2011, 4:20 AM

how would the latency from thailand to korea be? any ideas? For example Europe and NA are unplayable for me

run a tracert to kr.battle.net to see what your ping to that server may be.

click start > run > type "tracert kr.battle.net" without the " " or if you are on win7 just type tracert kr.battle.net in the search field when you click start.

you will see a bunch 1.2. 3. 4. 5. lines with numbers next to them, those numbers represent the "ping" the higher it is the worser your game connection will be.

some other battle.net region tracerts you can run to compare you ping:

tracert kr.logon.battle.net - korean
tracert sea.battle.net - sea
tracert us.logon.battle.net - us

I dont think that works, i got 25ms for all of them? Maybe thats to the website not the game server?

SayfT · Wed, 11th-May-2011, 3:36 PM

I just re-run all 3 tracerts and I am getting best connection to SEA then NA and finally KR (with about 400~ ping to KR :<) what kind of connection do you have? you should be getting different results for each server :S at least this is the same method that blizz GMs ask to do when running technical support forum.
hmmmmmmmmmmm
