Shit Starcraft 2 story, bro!(Mainly for Oceanic SC2 players)

So I've found out a rather major problem with the way the new Starcraft 2 battle.net servers are set up, and there's a good and a bad side to this, so it's a double edged sword.
I've found out that Blizzard took a bit of a dare and actually -PHYSICALLY- located some of their battle.net servers in Singapore that were designed to service Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand only. Theres an upside and a downside to this, so we'll start with the bad news:
The bad news is that because these servers are completely and utterly 100% certified isolated from the rest of Battle.net, it means that people on these Oceanic/Australasian (whichever name you prefer) servers cannot add Real ID friends or face off/compete against others from areas outside these server's serviced areas, such as say Europe and the UK, mainland Asia, the Middle East (assuming they even have internet over there. Poor saps), Africa or from North or South America. That's the bad news.
The good news is that Korea is not considered part of these Oceanic servers. What this means is that down here, we don't get raped by Koreans in online matches of SC2. No, that honour is for the North Americans. Ha. Sucks to be you people. :P
That being said, if you are an Aussie, a Kiwi or from Oceanic Asia and want to add me to SC2 Real ID friends list, send me a note or leave a comment and we'll see if we can add each other. :3
