I'll try it out later today. | ||

Why would Blizzard move the servers to Boston, when they're located in California? Oh well, no big deal... I assume they'll have servers throughout the US (and elsewhere) once the game goes live. | ||

They have a server right in korea that you can VPN to. However, how can proxies or VPN decrease ping to a certain location? Packets should still take roughly the same amount of time to travel there shouldn't they? Or does BNET actually block IPs? | ||

Speaking of which, I should set my QoS for SC2 :D Although if like FA said the servers are in boston, I have a max ping of 20 to boston. (In counter strike servers at least) | ||
