First post here on SC2SEA, paid for the taiwan account and had the code in my inbox before i could even finish downloading the client, very happy, thank you SC2SEA!
I was kinda wondering if i should go for this at first and if it was thrustworthy after i read about all the comments, i could see that this was a very friendly and helpfull people i was dealing with here.. so i bought the TW/KR account, and im downloading client right this moment, and i also got a really fast reply from them. +10 points from me.
I am SO happy to see this.... I have some questions though.
1. The lag. Just how bad is it? If it is not much....then I dont mind. Right now I have ok broadband anyway and I play in SEA server with lag.... lol
2. I just did some research. They say that if you want to play in Korean server, you need some kind of Korean SSN (Citizenship number) or something like that. How come with this tutorial, you dont need to? But this method is legal, correct?
1) Do the ping test! Compare it with your ping to SEA. If you really want to be sure just PM me and I will send you a guest pass so you can test it out
2) This is because its actually for the Taiwan server. BUT because the Taiwan server has merged with the KR server they share the same player pool / ladders / channels etc. So basically Taiwan server = Korean server but without the need for a korean SSN.
I've put a darker blue square around the numbers of concern. ms means millisecond so you can see that Nirvana here has roughly a 220ms ping which is to say just over 1/5th of a second.
Obviously the lower the number the better your latency. In short the lower the number the better. You probably don't want to be playing with 300ms or more.
You will notice in the latter rows the ms starts to level out... less change... that's why I chose those numbers. Whereas the first several rows you will notice significant difference between ms.
Doesn't really matter though... if you take the 13th or latter row you'll probably have your answer
Thanks for the key! Got it within 30 minutes! I'm definitely recommending this method to others. I tried purchasing with the other MyCard method via Paypal, even was on the phone with them and with PayPal and they couldn't make it work
1. am I going to be buying from sc2sea's own website store?
2. Once HoTS comes out....will you guys make it so we, SEA players, can play Korea too? Or maybe I am thinking too far? :P
3. Sorry if I have asked this previously, but, basically the taiwan and korean servers have now merged, so being able to play in Korea server is now available to everyone, right? Which means if I buy a Korean version of SC2 I can play? Just asking, my plan is to buy from this site.

1. Yes
2. Maybe (Nirvana will know for sure) but I expect so.
3. A TW account is the same as a KR (for all intents and purposes) so having a license for the TW account will allow you to play with people who have a KR account and vice versa. However the TW/KR version is completely separate from the SEA, NA, EU, etc... versions all of which will require a separate purchase of HotS to play. TLR you have to purchase the expansion for each server you play on.
Wow.....if KR and TW are merged, the Taiwanese people must be really good then!
I am surprised actually, in a good way :P Everybody knows koreans are so good, but since they share the same ladder as Taiwans, the Taiwanese must be really good too!
OK, practicing more to get good and buy the KR account from here
I've got a few problems.... please forgive me if theyre in the FAQ or something x.x
1. I entered the code given to me and on the website, it says i have the full TW account. Whenever i try to log in to the TW server, however, it just starts up a free trial. I am using a relocalizer, perhaps that is what is causing the problem?
2. Not that important, but im missing a lot of chinese characters on a lot of buttons, is this a known problem and is there any way to fix it?
