[Dreadski]

Nirvana was very helpful throughout the whole process of getting my game key. I really appreciate all the support.

[Thynar]

Great communication and support throughout the process of setting up my KR account, thanks again sc2sea (And in particular nirvAnA )

[jimmight]

ou dont feel lag on NA, then you shouldn't feel lag on kr as well.

[saucyboss]

does this key work in canada?
Edit: Also would it be possible to get a guest pass, as im new to this website i dont have the required 10 posts. I will be buying the key, as soon as i know that i have little to no lag on the taiwan/korean server.

EDIT EDIT: Nvm bout the guest pass, bout the actual game key anyways cant wait to get key.

Thanks nirvAnA

this was very usefull for me in order to install my tw client thanks

Hi Branno,

Disclaimer: Based on my limited knowledge of tracert, i believe the following.

The first few hop values are your router / settings, then next the isp and the host's router and the final values are the the ping to the actual host server.

1. US shows a ping of 200ish MS
2. SEA shows a ping of 400ish MS
3. KR shows a ping of 400ish MS

Based on the results shown, the best server to use in terms of the least lag appears to be the US server. SEA should lag quite abit more than the US server, and KR should be similar to SEA in terms of the lag. Can you double confirm that there is no difference in lag between SEA and US for you? (play some test games with the computer and spam the worker rally point at different locations to see delay) This is the part that puzzles me.

Conclusion: Although not 100% conclusive, it is my opinion that you should NOT play on KR unless you can stand playing on 400ms lag / on SEA. Hope that helps

thanks a lot =)

[ETL.Branno]

hmm there is like half a second more delay on SEA but im not sure i would even notice it if i wasn't looking for it.

might just buy it anyway,im not sure lol. thanks for you're help

edit: ended up buying the TW account and i get same delay i have on SEA which is almost exactly 1 second.

thanks for the guide.

I don't know where else i can post this, the general forum seemed like the most appropriate one so here it goes!

I just made a new account today and i believe it said that i will not have access to private messaging until my account is 1 week old. However i bought the Starcraft II Tw/Kr pack for 59.90 AUD. Does this new account thing mean that i can't recieve PM's as well? If so how would i go about getting my item? Would i have to wait a whole week or what?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

[nirvAnA]

Hi Aasian,

Not to worry, although you don't have access to PMs yet you will still be able to see the msg through your email. We have had many people with 0 posts who have been able to check their msg and get their account activated right away.

Also, the maximum waiting time to receive your code is 12 hours. Most are done within 30 mins. I have just sent you your activation code. Have a look in your email and if you require anything else do let me know. Thanks

Thanks for the guide!!!

[thefritz]

I downloaded the TW Client to install and it gets stuck on 1% while installing. Is there anything I should be doing to prevent that?

[tate2j]

Just bought it, thanks for the guide looking forward to playing on these servers . Thank you for taking the time to write this, and help the customers out NirVana, wouldn't have bought it without this guide.

Awaiting the code can't wait :P.

[aasian214]

Ok so i'm having a little trouble now. I did everything as you did and then when i open my TW SCII. It starts to update, but when it gets to 50% it just closes and the blizzard update app comes up in english. Now everytime i try to open my TW SCII, it just opens my NA SCII. My NA SCII isn't completely updated/patched, but that shouldn't exactly effect my TW SCII right?

[nirvAnA]

thefritz make sure your CD is not inside the CD-Rom drive during the install. That is the exact cause that stops the install at 1% every time!

tate2j your code has been sent to your email / pm.

aasian your existing NA version should not affect the install. I believe its because you did not change directory as mentioned in the guide. Please try changing the directory to a fresh one (just add TW behind e.g C:\Starcraft II TW) and give it a go again

[aasian214]

Here are screenshots, i do have them in seperate folders.

In addition i have 2 starcraft shortcuts on my desktop, one is: Starcraft II (Na version). The other is: 《星海爭霸 II》 (Taiwan version).

However it doesn't matter which of them i click, they both open up the same one anyway.

[nirvAnA]

Hi Aasian,

The most probable reason why the shortcuts are opening the same file is because they were installed in the same directory, perhaps by mistake when you first installed the TW client. To confirm this, what you need to do is right click on your shortcut icon, go to "properties" and look at the information path under "target".

If it was installed under separate directories correctly, it would appear different like this.

Taiwan Shortcut Target: "C:\StarCraft II TW\StarCraft II.exe"
SEA Shortcut Target: "C:\StarCraft II\StarCraft II.exe"

But if you see them pointing to the same identical target link, it could be because of one of two reasons.

Reason 1: You correctly installed in the same directory but the shortcut key points to the same folder (unlikely)
If this is the case just change the target to point to the actual taiwan installation directory.

Reason 2: You have made separate folders for the shortcuts instead of a separate installation directories during the client install.

Make sure you have changed the installation folder as shown in this step. If you didn't you probably installed the TW client into your NA client's directory which corrupted the install, so Blizzard is unable to correctly determine your game version and thus cant patch.

To fix this problem i would recommend deleting all versions of SC2 from your computer. After that do a clean install of the Tw Client following the installation steps carefully from the beginning. (Just run the installer you already downloaded). And to play on NA you would need to install the NA client as well and in a SEPARATE directory.

Hope that helps.

I've got the key for the KR/TW account, and it works great, and better than I've expected. I'm already playing on the ladder and it's a blast, much different than the NA server everyone seems to do a lot of 1-base tactics xD. If anybody else who has purchased this wants to play / practice and what not add me IdrALisK.251 on the Taiwan account. I'm lonely on it so far xD.

[tutsicockroach]

one question: why is sc2sea.com selling it for $60AUD when you can buy it cheaper from other non Chinese sites

are these sites even legal?
