Hi tutsi, to answer your question our store allows you to obtain it 100% legally as we get the keys straight from the official blizzard distributor for Taiwan.
Sure you might find it cheaper on some other chinese / warez/ cd-key resale sites, I cant vouch for their legitimacy and it would vary from site to site. Many of those sites require you to provide credit card / IC verification scanned in and sent to them, and they also allow you to sell your existing CD keys to them so they can resell it - which makes you wonder what you are paying for.
We are strictly against CD-Key resale and you can purchase your account here 100% legally without any fear of violating Blizzard's TOS or having your account suddenly closed.
Added testimonials from tate2j and Sidoney to the product page.
Sidoney: I ordered my Korean account on SC2.com at about 10pm one night. To my supprise the details were in my inbox by about 7am the next morning! Everything went smoothly following the instructions from nirvAnA. Would recomend this way to anyone who is thinking about playing on the KR server. Thank you SC2SEA!
Note for anyone who installs the TW client alongside their current client: if you uninstall the TW client, your original client will most likely be messed up too, due to things that are shared between both installations in the registry (I believe).
Personal experience when I recently uninstalled my TW client.
It may also mess up the file associations for replays (in that it will go to the TW client instead of your old one, due to it being installed more recently)
Our supplier has made it even easier for you to activate your account. You can now do so by simply entering your game key directly and it takes less than 20 seconds. No more having to go the "myPoints" process.
Also a testimonial from SkyBreaker has been added!
SkyBreaker: I recently purchased the TW/KR account from the SC2SEA store; and everything from the transaction to the delivery of the code was nothing short of amazing! I was also lucky enough to be the first to receive the code with this refined method - which made an already easy process, even easier! The TW/KR license is a great way to compete in a different region of the world; and see how things are played differently in the Mecca of StarCraft gaming! Big thanks to Nirvana for his efforts and I highly recommend purchasing a TW/KR account via SC2SEA! Good luck & have fun!
Can't recommend this enough guys! Go purchase one now, everything from the transaction to following this guide is impeccable! Nirvana for doing this for the community!
I believe it is actually possible to change the language back to english, there is a 3rd party program I saw on TL that changes the localization of the client so you can have it in a different language.
As specified in the installation instructions (Hope you followed it, i have also made this stand out more now) - you should have either used a relocaliser or installed in a separate directory, meaning you should have two different client installs on your CPU, one is your original one (SEA) and the other is the TW/KR one each with their own shortcuts and installation directories.
If you did not follow the instructions you probably would have to reinstall your games, or mess around with the relocaliser (since your sc2 is likely to be corrupt already anyway as you installed it in the same directory)
Can i install my english one via the disc but make that a different directory? I'm just gonna keep laddering on Korea for now but just in due time when i want to play on the sea server again, i wanna know exactly what i should do. Don't wanna spend so much time looking blankly at things.
Just posting to say that I received the activation code minutes after paying and I was able to add it to my b.net account without problems. Thanks so much!
Hello, thank you very much for the guide! I have been looking to play on the Korean servers but have been holding off because I heard it was a hassle. Your guide seems to have solved that problem. Just bought the TW sc2, excitedly waiting for key.
