8years? They announced D3 after 8 years, they announced sc2 after 10years and know it is up to 11 for sc2 since it's release has been moved to next year. I would not count on 8 years if I where you, and with the fact that they are kind of continuing the story in wow does not make it look any brighter either
Edit: Oh, I forgot why I was starting to write from the beginning
This sounds like a really neat thing. I just hope that it get's done soon How about releasing a little demo/teaser map soon?(or the whole thing)
With like a little taste sample of how the campaign and the races will be?
Like a small map with some crusaders units and a few quests, maybe some dragonics or outcasts attack some village and you are to put an end for that or something like that
Edit2: nvm on the demo map thing I really should learn to read the whole thread before posting
In this case it is a good written text and explanation and all, but: Dear god, the hordes of text are attacking
WoW is just another branch of the franchise.. They will continue it, they never said or implied they were stopping the RTS franchise of it. Many games split off into different spin offs or different genres of the franchise, if they made a FPS starcraft, does that automatically mean they are done with the RTS one?
