World of Starcraft

So, who's making it?

 

[Lyerae]

No one?

 

[Avaleirra]

They already tried (sorta). The ghost thing was a big fail

 

[Lyerae]

According what I read, they put developement of Ghost on hold 'till better systems came out. /off-topic

Anyway, I don't doubt that Blizzard has been throwing around the idea of "World of Starcraft" for years.

 

[Lightstalker]

I meant with the new editor.

It's a guaranteed premium map lol.

 

[BANANAMAN]

Oh please god no.

 

[Cookiemaster]

Unless there's some way to get in a good amount of players, it should never be done.

I am sure they have thought about it. There fairly creative, and world of warcraft in 3-6 years will very likey have it replaced. If we figure its not warcraft agein, And no dablio, then there is a small chance of staracraft happening.

I would prefer to see a released version of warcraft (mmorpg), in the years to come, but don't know how they could pull it off, with out the game feelings old. But who knows?

Well, a StarCraft MMO would take a lot of work.

Out of all of Blizzards games, Starcraft has the largest fanbase. Yeah, World of Warcraft has millions of players, but I'm sure that over 50% of them used to play StarCraft.

StarCraft is Blizzards biggest series. It was released... When, 1998? 1999? And still, people are playing it. Hell, I've got the game downloading and installing right now.

So you can probably see why they haven't made it yet. It would have to be very good, to live up to players expectations. The ones set by Starcraft, and the ones further set by World of Warcraft.
Because Blizzard always releases high-quality games, people have come to expect nothing but the very best from them. That's why StarCraft II has been delayed (making Battle.net 2.0 better). That's why they constantly patch World of Warcraft. They are working to provide us with high-quality entertainment, as we have come to expect from them.

Exactly my thoughts. I really hate people that complain all the time when their personal needs aren't met. e.g, I play a rogue in WoW, and once I beated a ret paladin in a duel, and he complained about how underpowered pallys are and started blaming blizzard for being lazy...

 

[Lyerae]

Yeah, Blizzard isn't lazy. They've done an excellent job on World of Warcraft. I don't see why people hate the lore so much...

Love the lore

It would be nice if this discussion doesn't turn into a World of Warcraft topic.

Thanks.

On the subject at hand, how do you think one would plan such a huge project?
Afterall, just by playing on battle.net you are almost in the world of starcraft.
The map would have to be somewhat amazing, with characters from both starcrafts featured in plenty, with quests... RPG stuff!

 

[Daskunk]

So, who's making it?

You can only have about 12 people in a game at the same time; you could hardly make a MMO.

sounds like diablo on battle.net

 

[Lightstalker]

You don't have to make it an MMORPG, you can make it an ORPG. I'm sure many people will attempt it anyway.

On THW, there are a bunch of threads from people recruiting for a SC2 premium-maps modding team. Sounds kinda silly 6+ months in advance and to mod just for the sole purpose of making a premium map... :\

 

[Tru_Power22]

Oh please god no.

This.

I really home someone doesn't try that.

I took my time on playing WoW (Trial and without trial, of course). I honestly didn't like the UI, it requires the highest system requirements, and it lags, of course. It's also hard; that's why I hate WoW.

Anyway, to ontopic, I've heard about this before this topic was even created for:

http://www.mmocrunch.com/2008/02/25/another-hint-that-starcraft-mmo-is-in-the-works/

It's probably delayed majorly before they will release SC2. :\ I don't really think we need another MMO, because that means Blizzard Entertainment will require a lot of time to work on SC2, WoW and WC3(probably) simultaneously. There might also be the chance that World of Starcraft can suck.

Why I don't like wow: It starts uber complicated and t gets even worse

ON TOPIC: A projects like wow in the new SCII editor ? Don't make me laugh. WoW is cool cuz you can meet a few thousand different people in an hour or so.
