What I mean is, are you against people reuploading your maps, in other realms. Such as Asia, Europe, and in my personal case: Latin America.
I'm asking because I've considered seriously uploading some maps, since at the moment (I'm not even kidding) in the Latin America server there are TWO custom games. Red Circle TD And Storm of the Imperial Sanctum.
Now, for some that's fine, but I personally (pretty much) bought Starcraft II purely for the Custom Game value, like Warcraft III before it, not that I don't enjoy a good Melee game.
So to conclude quickly, would you be against people uploading your maps on these kind of realms where, to begin with, they would have never seen the light of day otherwise? If so, why? And if you were fine with people uploading it, what would be your conditions? (Example: Description saying how it isn't my map, and a link to the original project?)
Thanks a lot for taking your time to read this thread!
I would recommend just PM'ing the Author and having them put out a map for your region. Basically, they'd just need to get credit somewhere since your name would be in the Author field, and that's about it.
im only against it if the person doesn't ask my permission
and then doesn't bother to update it when i release new versions.
frankly im sick to death of people publishing my map without my permission. getting to the point where im thinking about not publicly releasing my map anymore.
I'm curious if the custom map number hasn't gone up. I'd be interested in uploading my map, but I'd like to have my name on the select screen. I think the feeling is probably similar to many map makers. Is this something that should be brought to Blizzard's attention?
The only way I can see this (uploading with full original author credit) happening is if every map maker buys a copy of the game in every region... and that's not happening. Why wouldn't custom maps be uploaded to all regions, anyway? They ought to at least transfer the top 50 or so most popular maps... I mean... most maps aren't very big.
Wow, this region locking thing must really suck for you guys. Anyways, ask the author or alternately go ahead and upload.
I would like to take this space to note how much I hate the new system.
well..in SEA, we only have 5-8 custom maps that's been uploaded...
EU isn't any better.
Half of the maps are clones, and not even good clones, they cloned crap.
I found good maps on page 3/4 though. Unplayed because they take too long to start, of course.
Hello, first of all, let me clear up the title.

More publicity for them!
@Zyst: Go
