Hey guys.
I found this petition where you ask blizzard to implement a LAN system in the game, which they have said they will not.
I for one would love to be able to LAN S][C with my friends, and it can sometimes be a hazzle to get into Bnet.

"REASONS TO KEEP LAN
- While many of your fans might have internet access with the required speed to play without lag, there are still many that don't, or would like to play with a friend or sibling residing in the same house. LAN is NOT an expensive upgrade, and once you have it, it’s yours. Internet is something that you have to pay for every month, and in a bad month you might choose to buy groceries instead of paying for the internet.
- LAN is what birthed SC popularity in the first place. Please don't ignore the heritage of the original game.
- Using LAN is a little bit of freedom. Often you might be at a friend's place with the only option to ad hoc the wireless connections instead of using internet, excluding the Battle.net gaming possibility.
- There are little to no ill effects in implementing LAN compared to the advantages. The piracy rate of people actually interested in the game would be negligible. Just look at SC1 now. Even with a laggy Battle.net, it is still selling so well that it once again reached top-10 on the NPD charts a decade after its release!
-Having LAN functionality in the game makes it feel you have more freedom of choice. You can choose to be part of the greater community, or you can choose to just play with one or two friends. LAN is a vital part of what makes StarCraft so great, and what will make StarCraft II even greater. Sometimes you don't have to use a function in order to appreciate having it there. It's the sort of freedom we have come to expect from Blizzard Entertainment.
Please include LAN functionality in your future classic! "
I know this has been posted before in this thread, but I feel like it needs to be re-iterated to our members to sign that petition and hopefully Blizzard will put LAN in SC2
Thanks,
