Programmer: So, LFD has been a big success... and with 4.0 we've got all this pipe laid across continents so the server can match regionally instead of by Battlegroup like when it rolled out...
Dev: How can we go further with that?
P: Well... we've got the code in place to functionally "invite" people regardless of server... I suppose we could come up with a way to let people manually do that instead of relying on the server... the code so they can then Queue together already works great since these LFD PUG runs are able to Queue again at the end of the run as a group...
D: We could use RealID/BNet as the backbone for that... it already exists to provide inter-server com's so we'd just have to graft in the invite protocols from Starcraft II and allow it to talk to the party creation code from LFD...
Bobby Kotick: Hey, I like where this is going, and I'm gonna let ya finish... but how much extra can we charge to use it??????
