Starcraft2 Region Change Insanity

I'm still enjoying playing Starcraft 2 single player. It's a bit crap that I can't play with any of my friends in the UK, so I wrote to Blizzard and asked what I need to do. To be honest I didn't find the reply very helpful, in summary they said:

1. There's nothing you can do, you can't chat or play with people outside of the Asia server
2. Region changes aren't possible
3. The solution is, we will refund you in 14 days, buy a copy of the game again, but this time from EU
   
4. When you get a refund, your single player campaign will be destroyed, you'll have to start again

Blizzard, I am not amused.
Actually, I'm pretty disappointed and somewhat disgusted.
Fortunately, we can all still play Starcraft 1 via the old battle.net
