you've successfully circumvented blizz's capping (one account for the mod and any number of others for the maps) then? congrats
the success of your mod has you in first line to "force them" to discuss upping the cap (multiple accounts seems "unacceptable customer service" to me, at least allowing "your" method to work without opening the mod should be no problem, since you can justify that both accounts are yours AND you paid twice (so they love u))
now that the "retail dust" has settled, it's time to remind them that their most valued customers are mapmakers, and that making us wait for hotswarm or even lotv is unacceptable when it comes to the mapmakers point of view...
pop system, who cares.. (it's not something they HAVE to address)
but upload disconnects, low ko max cap/ number of maps, crossrealm multiple maps clogging/hosting...are all customer "must address" issues for them (if we indeed ask properly, they will answer, even if it all we get are unsatisfying answers it seems a good start/continuation to making things move our way)
i have no idea if it works (having not tried it), it seems to be the way blizz has "installed their dependencies" though, seems to be what they want to do with their "featured custom maps"
"locked maps aren't safe from being opened either." +1 (useful against anyone but coders, your mod being so well known, "stealing" your (and modelers working with u) work seems pointless)
edit: glad it works, my pleasure to help u give pleasure to other players, now if only blizz would make the updates "recursive" you'd be able to spend most of your time only adding to/tweaking your mod (u buying a 2nd account shows your commitment facing the greedy blizz)
should add it on mapster's editor "bugs" thread and mention it on the forums,
the solution is obviously that u unlock your mods?, and i understand that that's not acceptable to u
ps: thank you for sharing, i think THIS one is obviously way overboard from blizz and that they will do something about it
(cause if u do it their way, each time you update any little thing (and u do get lots of testers asking/helping .... you'd obviously spend hours just updating, and going crazy in the process, and blizz doesn't want to be responsible for that...?)
