RedHydra Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks to Sparkypop, we can now switch to different regions without using Relocalizer! Your account can now connect to any region except China. =( 1. Open a text editor like Notepad or SimpleText (Mac). 2. Copy and paste the text below: <regions> <region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_SG_REGION" hostname="sg" allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enSG"/> <region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_US_REGION" hostname="us" allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enUS"/> <region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_EU_REGION" hostname="eu" allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="enGB"/> <region displayname="AUTHENTICATION_KR_REGION" hostname="kr" allowedProductLocales="all" localesThatDefaultToThisRegion="koKR"/> </regions> 3. Click "Save As" and name it "regions.xml". 4. Move the regions.xml file to your StarCraft file, where your SC2.exe file is located in. 5. The "REGIONS" button is located at left side of the login screen, but make sure you click the Up Arrow image to the right of your account name/email address (This only applies if you have "remember me" checked). Notes: Your character info is non-transferable. You won't be able to communicate with friends on different regions (Not entirely sure about real ID). This should save you some time from having to download a new Starcraft file specified for a region, as well as exiting & reopening StarCraft every time you relocalize. Enjoy!

RedHydra Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 It seems like the EU client has some errors with the enUS language. If you use the NA client, you can connect to all regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOLLMAO Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is this even legal by starcraft 2 standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 With SEA client you can connect to all servers as well. The Korean server is the best one ofc. iatebambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHydra Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Is this even legal by starcraft 2 standard? Blizzard already enabled this region feature to the SEA client. They also recently gave region access to everyone (CN not included, sorry!), so this is pretty much their Global Play. If they allow third party programs like Relocalizers to be legal, then adding an additional text file, taken from their SEA client, won't make Blizzard call you out. Of course, they reserve the right to change what's legal or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeray Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 There are 2 Aeon of storms map in KR. the one with last update is Aeon of storms v 1.38 by Nexaemin ( who is he?). There's another old v.6.0 by Sdsd. On SEA it is the most played arcade game so /Bow SEA. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. iatebambi and Chimera 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydie Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Be warned Blizzard haven't commented on this, technically using this work around you're editing their software and apparently it's not meant to be ready yet. By the same token they haven't been locking threads on the Official forums so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliwan Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 That is Birdman Brax. He made the Talent UI and Shop UI as well as the meaningless rating system we have. =w= He also made a typo. =[ Doom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWaterJustIce Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 ^ Who is this admin with 3 posts that I have never seen before? He used to help Ecko make the game but then he got a job that required a lot of his time and so he wasnt able to help develop anymore. though i believe he still comes on everyone once in a while and plays a game or two/ works on the game a bit.

Banzaiguy Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Birdman Brax, nicknamed as such due to his signature of a wide eyed bird. Co-developed SotiS/AoS with Ekco(RNG), specializing in UI. Lives in the now defunct Somalia Disneyland. Hobbies include Handegg and Sandsurfing. Interested in oranges, Lady GaGa and striped polo shirts. Edit: Holy crap double ninjaed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
