In a few simple steps! (Please note that you need to have an account on the server you wish to upload a map on.) The option to change your region through the Editor was removed during the WoL Beta, but the key can still be read from if recreated:
Go to Start > Run > type regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II Editor\Preferences
Right-click in the left-pane, select "New > String Value"
Edit the name of the Key to be, "BattleNetHost" minus the quotes.
Double-click that key, set the value to be "us.logon.battle.net" minus the quotes.
The server names are as follows: (you only need the name, the IPAddress is just for reference)
NA: us.logon.battle.net
12.129.206.131
LA: Not sure yet
???
EU: eu.logon.battle.net
213.248.127.131
RU: Not sure yet
213.248.127.130
KR: kr.logon.battle.net
121.254.200.131
CN: cn.logon.battle.net
121.198.64.131
TW: Not sure yet
???
SEA: sg.logon.battle.net
202.9.66.76
PTR: public-beta.logon.battle.net or beta.logon.battle.net
Does this mean we can publish our maps to different regions ourselves? (Even though we can't play them) Or will the login required stop us from using different gateways.
Yeah, login is still required... But yes, you can publish your maps without having the game client itself. So, if you can manage to get an account on the other servers (and have a character created since you can't do that through the Editor anymore), you can login through the Editor.
@SupGuys: But that would be the same thing as asking them to upload your map…. you still use their space and everything. Actually the only thing I can see this doing is…. giving your password out to a complete stranger, instead of just asking someone to just upload your map. ( What happens if Europe and American got into a war. I sure as hell would steal someones account for my patriotism! )
Sry sixen I don’t see any benefits in this one buddy :( If we were aloud to log on with our accounts that would be awesome!
It still benefit people with multiple account across region who want to change it without downloading the whole thing. I'm not sure but sc2 might not even allow you to install 2 copies on the same comp. progamer is still crying to have this simple method for the game client
@progammer: I beg everyone. IF blizzard does not fix things like this. Please don’t make multiple accounts. That will just make them know, you will pay 60+ bucks to get another 15 mbs… and then make games for them.
Sry sixen I don’t see any benefits in this one buddy :(

You don't see advantages because i'm too sly for you. I, on the other hand, took advantage of this. I added Guest Passes to my accounts (so I have accounts on SEA and EU for free) and can login through the editor through my own account. winrar iz me.
That's genius, but don't those guest passes only last 10 days at the most?
I've got the SEA version, so i'll automatically get a US account, but I could use that to upload any maps to europe? without having to download the game again?
Could I use a similar method for when SEA players get their US accounts to switch servers for the actual game?

Yeah, I haven't been able to see if they can be used after expired though. Expired trials can post on the forums, I figured it's worth a shot, ;).
You'd only be able to use it if you have an EU key on your account. But yeah, if your account is still active on SEA as well, you can publish through the Editor with no problems.

So has anyone tried to see if expired guest accounts can publish? This would be incredible useful for me to publish in the EU myself.
Hey hey hey!
I'm player from russian server. Today i wanted to publish my map at USA server. So i made all the steps from post #1 here (create in windows register string value to USA server). Than i launched editor and tried to login (coz login is necessary to publishing, isn't it?). But i have got message "You can't enter coz you don't have any account here bla bla bla".
So guys... You can't publish map to another servers without account been created there.

Login is still required. This is a fast way to change the client region only. Quick change/patch of the game client is not out yet i think

oh man it aint worth 60 bucks to publish in another region :/
Just ask a friend to lend you their account for a few minutes

I've had to do this now that I'm uploading my TD to EU.
This is so annoying every time. Why can't we just have a global repository or something... auto localized :D
So has anyone tried to see if expired guest accounts can publish? This would be incredible useful for me to publish in the EU myself.
They can't, you get a message saying it's out of time I think, :(.
Need a value for PTR server, anyone got a hint ?
I can tell you but it basiclly no use.
it's public-beta.logon.battle.net
But you can't use your Editor to login, cause the editor version is still 1.1.3 . Still you can modify the exe, but it may not a effective way.
