World of Starcraft?

Post by Asharak »

www.worldofwar.net wrote:Blizzard will no doubt be mega-pleased with how well WoW has sold and what it has done for the MMORPG genre. There has also been a whole host if MMO related jobs posted on the Blizzard site over the past 12 months so there may be some fact in the news that World of StarCraft will be announced at the WWI in Korea on the 19th and 20th of this month.

C&VG has posted a story which apparently comes from reliable sources that World of StarCraft will be Blizzard's big announcement in the next couple of weeks. Personally I would prefer an MMO Diablo but this would be good news for Starcraft fans if it proves true.
Guess they are making MMO's of all their franchises if this is true :)

Yeah, atm the gameindustry rumormill is torn between a true sequel to starcraft (ie rts) or a starcraft MMO, forums everywhere are filled with speculations. Good times.

WoS > WOW !


Just when blizzard said that theyll make WOW a few years ago i was pissed because i would rather see a World Of Starcrat(Or diablo). If so that is the only game that would get me to stop playing WOW :)

I'd love a good sci-fi mmo. The market is swamped with more or less good fantasy mmo's. There has to my knowledge been two "large" sci-fi mmo's and that's Planetside and AO. Planetside was way to niche and to much of a fps for me while AO had its flaws and at the time i tried it was way to clunky. Nice concept tho.

I chose to ignore EVE because it's a horrible game and nobody likes it! (Ok, so I forgot :| )

Besides, it has way to steep a learning curve for the massmarket. :)

Eve's following has been growing slow but steadily, it's not my type of game but owning your own piece of space seems to appeal to some at least :)

don't count me in in future mmo's.. I honestly don't got what it takes to moderate myself. After wow, its strickly gonna be FPS's or strategy.. something wich don't include stats or rep or upgrading over months and years.. Lock and load, or nothing at all.
Finally, an emotion I do not have to fake

If you think WoW or any other MMORPG has a terrible timesink design; in comparison EVE'll be Satan's tool to conquer and enslave any and all geeks of mankind for all eternity.

Pretty cool though how there's only one universe of EVE in which every player gets to do his or her thang.
That's, well, unique.

Pretty sure their announcement will be an MMO (hence the lack of RPG). Would be pretty awesome if they managed to make some kind of MMO-RTS, more or less combining the 2 genres they're best at into one :)
