Hi, my name is ByunTae from South Korea. I have been playing Starcraft since 1998 and I was born and raised in Korea. I'm 100% full blooded Korean, meaning I have been gifted with unparallel talent to master any video game, particularly, Starcraft: Brood War.

The new Battle.net configuration is having people register CD key's with email address's and such. It's already partialy implemented.

Even if they left the option available to "Authenticate" with a server just so you can play a LAN game..still mean's people need some sort of connection to the internet.

Now..what if you have to "activate" and "register" your key Via Battle.net to enable "LAN" play option. That way they know you have registered and activated your key to your account and only you can use it.

Still sound's as if they are implementing a custom DRM.

I doubt they will remove LAN play..that would be a HUGE blow to LAN parties/Gaming cafes etc. And ruining the game for a lot of people.
