ermm i don't know how legal this is, but i feel it's right, would you american guys mind sharing the client with us europeans by sharing a torrent or ftp so we can log on with payed-through-friend cdkeys?

Shit i'm bad... I self educated myself in ways of controlling feelings, now nothing feels like it's true... gotta be an assasin or sumtin.
even "WOW! YOU'VE GOT A GREAT EQUALIZER" gives your everyday fanboi an erection araound here so watch your mouth :D

Thats very illegal, you have to buy the game.  Why don't you just order it from an american vendor then play on american servers?  Not sure how that all works but i'm sure it'll work just fine.

EDIT: Ah sorry read that wrong, if you buy it I guess it works out but I'm not sure.

If you played beta, you should be fine. From what the devs said, its the same client. Your friends that bought it for you.. the key is all you need really. Just have them send you the box later .

1. Blizzard already flat out said it was not the same client and that you could not play by just patching the Beta Client, I ran into this when going over my 10 day pass thing I am going to give to my older brother, we had hoped to be able to just use the client but it turns out I have to mail my disks accross the US

2. The regional server thing is based off of billing address (for your credit card) when you make your account, so you have to have a credit card that uses a address in the US

3. yes, it is illegal

1) Really? I don't know where you were sometime before closing the forums but they actually said you CAN keep your open beta client its the S-A-M-E version required to play on the servers.

2) Are you that ignorant or what? You really think thats the only solution ? (and even if it was you think blizzard would refuse money ?)

3) No, its not illegal as long as you paid for your cdkey.
