| OK, this is what I have been doing. I bought the digital download on us.battle.net, the Global Verson, 60 bucks USD. I simply go to the PC bang, go to us.battle.net and just log into my account, download the game client and I play in English with no issue. Only annoying thing is that I have to wait for the download. Other than that, it is great. Oh and I use the Americas server, the Asian server seems to kick people out a lot more.. |

The first two weeks were awful with people getting booted from the Asian server. My Korean boss certainly got to know about my little ADD problem whenever he was willing to wait hours just to get a spot. |

As long as your internet connection is decent (i.e., not using someone else's wifi) playing the American server isn't bad at all. |

I'll have to try it, I'll see if one of my Korean-American colleagues can figure it out for me. I consider myself to be a minor techie, but never got into the whole gaming aspect of computers, or games in general, until my boss asked me if I wanted to go opening night for Diablo III and I was like wth why not and it's been fun, but there's no way that I'd ever want to or be able to show the kind of life altering dedication that one of my colleagues shows to pc bangs and that game. |

As I said before, $60 on the US battlenet store. You get the international release; You can play US severs, European Servers, or Asian Servers. You can set the language to anything.
If you don't buy the game, you can play at the PCbang, but it's in Korean, and you can ONLY play on the Korean servers. There is no language changing, and iirc, no Real Life Auction house.
Just pay for the game if you want to play it, you can toss it on a USB or external and bring it into the PCbang or as was said before, just download it at the PCbang when you arrive.
Not hard. I get about a 45ms ping on the Asian Servers, and usually about 115-220ms on the US servers. |
