has anyone heard anything on the world of starcraft? last I heard it was in production but I'm tryin to find out more info on it... can't wait till that comes out and I can move on from warcraft >.<

as I raise my sword,
I call to the horde,
and make a single pledge.

that though they have many,
their blades are heavy,
and carry a double edge.

    I've heard A LOT of things such as it being another blizzard april fools, a mod, a few other things. but my friends who work some gaming companies meantioned it a few nights ago so it kinda got interested and lookin it up to find nothing useful as to if it's really being produced or not...

    that's kinda what I was thinkin... specially after the 2 wasted hours of searching for some more info on it lol. however it would be pretty sweet ^^ but man... the stats diff would need some MAJOR adjustments lol I couldn't imagine a marine fairing too well against a zealot (assuming those would be the 2 major races/classes of course)

    why is it so important that Blizzard makes a WoS ???? first of all imo they ruined warcraft when they brought out warcraft 3 and Diablo is a much better MMO license but WoS would cheapen starcraft to the extent that they have cheapened warcraft ... why must we beg for another WoW clone ??? imo if blizzard does release WoS it willl make a GREAT license into another useless MMO that only WoW fanbois play

    I believe Vivendi/Blizzard announced all their future titles would be MMOs. In that vein, and given Starcrafts Asian popularity, where the majority of their WOW subscribers are located, an SC MMO makes perfect sense.



    I know it's a rumor, but it's a rumor with a lot of strong common sense arguments for it.

    Blizzard is anouncing a new SC title on the 19th of May, or so people claim. Whether its SC2 or a SC MMO, is still unknown.

    Hang on. I just HAD to reply to this. Youre comparing WC3 to WC2, and find they have ruined 3? . Really? Huh.

    actually yes i am .. wc2 was a true RTS and wc3 was a joke .. it may have kept somewhat whith the storyline of the original 2 games but it wasnt in the same vein ... it was a leadup to WoW and BLizzards way of marketing an mmo they were thinking about long before they handed the world the joke of an mmo they developed

    alright, honestly I'm not that much of a fan of WoW in fact I'm not really big in the whole warcraft genre... but I will admit that blizzard knows what they are doing when they release a title. though I've never really been big on warcraft I haven't been able to help but to play the RTSs to the end just because they were good freakin games. I'd rather have seen more of starcraft myself but never the less I don't think any title blizzard releases would be considered a "joke" and as far as WoW goes, it's definately no joke! I'd prefer to play some RO or 9dragons or even SWG myself but I will admit that they did a great job with the style of the game. it's easy to learn and in kind of a medium between cartoony with a seriousish look. I'd like to see a SC MMO done similarly to WoW but perhaps with a better crafting system... lol that's pretty much the only reason I ever play SWG cause it's just fun being an architect lol if they could take that crafting system with the quest/pvp style of WoW and mix it into WoS I'd totally be sold. lol my days of having any social life would be OVER.... um... lol I don't even know if I was making a point anymore... just kinda dreamin... lol ya... I'll stop here.

    didnt know bliz hired 20 year olds from NZ :P







    All jokes aside; its going to be something SC related but keep in mind; they've been hiring these MMO developers in the last month or so; so its not like they're just going to get together and whip something up so fast it will make heads spins; so having said that common sense would say it would probably be a RTS, personally i wouldn't mind either.

    Why do blizzard care about trying to keep you happy? Most of the millions of people who currently play warcraft don't think the game ruined the warcraft license. And aren't you a little hasty in your judgement? You are already slagging off a game before it has being announced. What next? If you get your wife pregnant will you announce to the world that  the embryo will never make a great MMO designer!



    If anyone is acting like a fanboy here it's you. Being precious about Starcraft, a game that was released years ago and very few people outside of Korea currently play. Sounds fanboish to me.



    And making Diablo into an MMO would be stupid. Blizzard already has a fantasy MMO. Why compete with it's own game when it can create a game for all those people out there who want something different without all the usual fantasy cliches.

    Ruined warcraft with Warcraft 3 and WoW? ok.. your opinion. sure, respect that. I think it opposite. I think the Warcraft series has been brought to complete new heights with those very 2 titles and Wacraft 3 is an heck of a great game.

    That aside, what we know for FACT is blizzard will announce a new STARCRAFT title the 19-20th of may in Korea. If this is a RTS, a MMORTS, a MMOFPS, a MMORPG or a mix of all above, who knows.

    Surely the MMO of some sort rumor has grown and grown in these days but consider they have already stated that a new MMO will be DIFFERENT from WoW in revolutionaries ways.

    So we can just wait and hope.

  • G4 Tv did a blurb of Starcraft 2 as it stands now, so it is coming whether it is MMo or RTS is the real question. Should be interesting.
