Blizzard today announced that instead of downloading another client in order to play on the NA region, we'll be given a patch, allowing us to choose which region to play on from the get go:
"Instead, we are currently planning for an in-game region selector to be added via a patch at the same time or before NA client access is provided to SEA/ANZ players. Using the in-game region selector would enable you to choose which region you will play in after opening your existing copy of StarCraft II. If an in-game solution can’t be implemented right away, then alternatives will be provided, such as offering a small file download that would duplicate the intended functionality and allow your existing client to access the NA region." The full article can be read here.
This will come as great news for most Australians, as our bandwidth tends to get eaten up real quick when he have to download large files. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is out now across the globe, and you can read our glowing review on it right here.
