So, still no LAN? Haven't checked on that in ages.
Any word on the rumored monthly subscription fee for Battle.net?
It will still be free however...
[rumour]
Stuff like VoIP and "Premium maps" will have to be paid for
[/rumour]
At a BlizzCon panel, Blizzard VP of Game Design Rob Pardo revealed that the new Battle.net will include a service called StarCraft II Marketplace. The marketplace will be a place to share and rate user-generated content such as maps and mods. Amateur builders will be able to release their creations as free or premium content.
"We want to make sure that the best amateur game designers out there are making maps for StarCraft II, and not for Kongregate or Steam or anything like that," said Pardo.
