    lol, I remember playing a bootleg rip of the warcraft3 beta, it sure as hell wasn't as polished as that looks. :P A key would be awesome but I'm sure I won't get one (probably because I never applied :P)

    As I said, just PM me. I can up my key output by quite a bit, if I really want to.

    Just a couple of things tho:

    1 . I don't care. I really, really don't care.
    2. No, I don't want a thing in return.
    3. Think of the children!
    And most importantly:
    4. Don't forget to insert your EMAIL!
    5. I'm purely first come, first serve. Unless your account is created 2010. Yes I discriminate.

    Sent a PM along your way.

    I'm so going to get hammered by everyone else, my strategic skills are lacking. Let's hope the computer has scalable difficulty.

    for those of you that have already downloaded the client a workaround was posted so you can play replays from in-game. Now I'm not sure on whether or not i am allowed to speak of such things here since this doesn't involve a crack or some other form of third party program, you just have to change around some files. However in light of keeping these forums clean, if you are interested just shoot a pm my way.

    Basically they found a way around the login screen so you can just get to the main menu from where you can play replays. It doesn't allow online play or single play or anything else really. The good thing about being able to look at those replays from a first person perspective however is the fact that you can scroll around the map and select stuff and so forth and as such has shed some light on build orders for me.

    Woah, I just typed in my really old SC1 serial and it registered as SC: Anthology, didn't even need to type in the broodwar key too :o.

    i'm so psyched about this. looks like i'm not finishing my masters thesis this semester...

    btw, broodwar doesn't have a key, all starcrafts register as the anthology as far as i know.

    I've been enjoying the live streams, thanks for the link.


    And yes, Panigg is awesome :D
  • VisionVision Join Date: 2008-07-27 Member: 64707Members
    Panigg is awesome indeed !

    The maps I've seen on the streams have been kinda chokepoint heavy so far and the game seems to play quite a bit differently than sc1 but hey, that's not a bad thing!

    SC1 was pretty choke point heavy...

    Then again the three RTS's I've played the most (AoE2, AoE3, and CNC:Generals) all took place on mostly open ground, so maybe I have a different definition of 'choke point heavy.'

    I really love the map design in Starcraft 2 so far, maps seems to flow very well with a natural expansion allways pretty close to home base and something interesting in the center such as watchtowers or high yield minerals. At leat with the maps i have seen so far.

    I appear to have failed at receiving my key Panigg :(

    he hasn't given them out yet AFAIK.

    EDIT: better yet, i think he still has to receive them himself.

    Basically they've learned from what kinds of maps the pros like to play and ran with it. imo, it's a good thing.
  • SamaseSamase Join Date: 2009-05-31 Member: 67597Members
    Is there anyone i can play with/against?
    It's kinda boring to play all alone when your friends didn't get invited.

    PS, i don't like the "match-matching-thingy".

    Some games will probably be hosted later on, keep watching this topic.

    Over 30 requests now. I guess you can stop PMing me. :)

    Aww, I was hoping to get one and I thought I got in fast enough. Well, it's still awesome that you're giving them out.

    You're number 9 tho, so that could still work out. Just let me figure something out. :)

    God dammit Panigg, every time you post, my heart leaps with excitement with the possibly that you have sent the keys out. You keep letting me down, like a woman :(
  • PaniggPanigg Join Date: 2006-11-02 Member: 58212Members
    Sorry... the arrival of the keys is not under my control. Will forward them as soon as they get to me. :)

    Tracking down people from blizzcon would be easier for you then.

    Great timing and use of that Mothership.
    Chrono Boost + Mothership + Cloak + Vortex = Win.

    Zerg Queen + Spawn Larva = Win
    I find Terran the most boring race to play with, Thor = meh.

    Gosh i love the new soundtrack! I'm headbanging every time i play the game.
