Blizzard has announced that there will be no cross server play as the game will apparently be region locked.
I consider this to be an exceptional bad move by Blizzard for the following reasons:
1. I do not want to play with non-english speakers on the SEA servers
2. Custom maps which kept WC3 going is a very big expectations for alot of people who will purchase the game. By not supporting cross-regional players, the growth of custom maps will strongly be curtailed.
3. I hate seeing 555555 or jajaja (back to point 1)
4. SEA players have shittier computers on the average, I don’t want to join a game with a host that runs on a pathetic rig. (I think this is proven by the data Valve collected)
I hope Blizzard would offer a middle ground by anchoring ladder/competitive matches regional and freeing players to play custom maps across the different servers.
