    I've been trying to decide if I want to buy SC2, but I have a concern. I'm planning on moving to Korea sometime next year. If I buy StarCraft 2 here in the States, set up a B-net account, and then move, will I have to buy another copy of StarCraft there to be able to play, or will my account be usable there as well?

    i'm pretty sure it'll still be usable, but you'll only be able to connect to the US servers.

    seriously, they should fix that. just let people connect to whichever servers they want.

    Your account will be usable internationally. Also, Blizzard recently unlocked the North American servers so other countries could play on them:

    Q: What will happen with my Southeast Asia/Australia/New Zealand Battle.net account?
    A: Once you get access to the North American Battle.net servers, you will have access to both regions for online play. You can choose which one to play on at any given time, and can switch back and forth at will.
