- Snoods, on 10/12/2007, -8/+41It would ruin the series? StarCraft is just one game with an expansion, besides they made a MMO out of the Warcraft RTS, I can't see how it would ruin StarCraft any more than WoW ruined Warcraft.

A lot can change in that time. This is almost a year old.
/Just letting y'all know.
Edit: I didn't see all the posts below that said the same thing. My bad.
/Still burying as inaccurate as something this old in the gaming industry means absolutely nothing to me. - AngryBacon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21You must construct additional pylons!
- leetleo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18This is reassuring. I find that I have less and less time for WoW and other games that require a large time investment. I want to log in, build a few pylons, and call it a day.
- funkydude101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Research Complete
- kalidav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Article is OLD. Buried as inaccurate as it isn't relevent to the latest rumor.
- Zaius, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12nuclear launch detected.
- sfpfc, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16A starcraft MMO would be stupid, what would you do, buy new guns every new level?
I doubt it will be SC2 because that will compete with WoW which gives them a monthly fee from 8 million gamers (someone do the math for all the different countries out there please)
My guess is it will either be a console game but there is a chance it could be Starcraft 2. I am so glad they canceled Ghost, it was wayyyy to late for that game to come out. - TnShun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14The "very recent post" is posted on Jun 15, 2006.
- HerrEisenheim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Did you think it was from the future?
- Satertek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I dream of a Starcraft MMO FPS/RTS hybrid...
But from the sound of it, Starcraft 2 will contain MMO elements (information was "misinterpreted"), but not be the typical MMO. This could be interesting. - Ret0x, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Agreed. The article is from 2006, but I think it shows that the rumor for a SC MMO is just that, a rumor. Blizzard stated that they are not currently (at the time of the article) producing any new MMOs. If they were making a SC MMO and were announcing it this month in Korea, they would probably want to have a little bit of it developed. Enough to show a few early screenshots. A year later, do you think they have enough developed to show any of it to anyone? I doubt it. They'd have to go through pre-production, deciding on story and how the game is played. Like SW Galaxies? Or EVE Online? That could take a year by itself, I'm sure.
- Nimec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree that the article is old... but you have to remember that on http://www.blizzard.com/jobopp/ they are looking for
Lead Engine Programmer – Next-Gen MMO
Lead Tools Programmer – Next-Gen MMO
Lead Technical Artist – Next-Gen MMO
So to say that the other article is false because of this old article saying that they are not working on any MMO's just isn't true. Clearly even on their own website they are advertising jobs to work on this upcoming MMO.
Is it Starcraft? Probably not, but at this point I don't think it can be completely ruled out regardless of how improbable it sounds. We'll just have to see on the 19th :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4So a year old article which doesn't even mention Starcraft?
Okay consider it digged. - G33k0ft3chz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Aww.. but I wanted to type FOR THE ZERG in chat.
Anyway, I just want Starcraft 2 to be a RTS, then in a few years become a top selling MMORPG. - FlamingWombat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5We require more vespene gas!
- rexxars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd actually like a MMORTS based on Starcraft.
- Acidictadpole, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6@ sfpfc.
"A starcraft MMO would be stupid, what would you do, buy new guns every new level?"
How is that different from the other mmo's where you buy a new sword every level?
I personally think it would be better than some of the other MMO's out there if it was done right, the problem is there would be little to no real way of doing it right. - deltaanime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Bitches don't know about my additional pylons.
- FetalSage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I -hate- all the qj sites, ridden with ads everywhere. =/
- SwiftJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Off topic, but does anyone else HATE clicking on a link that leads to QJ? Nothing like an ad while you're in the middle of a sentence!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3do they even mention sc anywhere in that article?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes it does, because you made it sound like this article was in direct response to yesterday's story.
It's misleading.
They haven't confirmed one or even slightly given hints to one, either, so all the sites have shoddy credibility at this point.
Plus old articles like this shouldn't be submitted considering the industry is an ever evolving process.
Case in point: I could submit an article from 2003 stating that Blizzard would not make another warcraft game after Warcraft 3.
Companies can say whatever they want, and while it might be applicable to the time in which they said it, their choices are made on profit. If the MMO is the way to go, that's what they'll do. I'm sure they can find a way to make a starcraft MMO a non-RPG type, but more of a combat/strategy based system.
And that would be fine by me. - mykos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hope their next WoW expansion is all new content for levels 20-69. Kinda sucks that the longest part of the game is the same experience every time.
- Ogedei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I second that.
Consider it double digged! - ldburton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2from the article:
Posted Jun 15, 2006 at 02:22AM
uh, very recent post?
it even mentions "the upcoming world of warcraft expansion".
what the *****? am i missing something here or is this a very OLD post? - mgbdeftones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Glad everyone actually reads the article before posting and or commenting
All Blizzard Franchises will Become MMOGs?

Posting an article From June of last year to debunk a source from May 2007? Bravo
Burried - Darksaber11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Quite some time ago (err... a year or two I think) a group of gamers over on the Wizards.com MTG boards had a lengthy discussion about weather or not you could make a MMORTS. At the time we were talking about a Magic: the Gathering MMO, but the idea carries over to this.
Basically, we decided it just couldn't work. When all you have in a game is you (ie standard MMO) you can pop in and out whenever you want, and the only time this is a bad thing is when your guild needs you for a raid or something. This doesn't translate so well to the resource/territory based strategy of RTS games. What would happen to your army when you log out?
Just my two cents... I really hope SC2 is an RTS. - BevansDesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"most people realize that a non-RTS Starcraft would destroy the series"
Huh? This is the dumbest thing I've read all day. - Malarie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Blizzard is the Google of the videogame Industry. They know their *****.
- morbo47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dug down as inaccurate... seriously, is no one reading the date of this article and responding?? Why is it still at 700+?
- morbo47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...and now it's over 800
Bravo, Digg. Bravo... Well played. - GooksBirman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If any of you read gamepro or gameinformer, you'd know that blizzard said they're working on a new MMO. plus, people lie in the game industry
- Detergent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I sure as hell don't wanna be a probe mining for an hour...

- bagelpirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Buried for inaccuracy.
- Katana314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thank god! I'm no huge starcraft fan, but even MY heart sank at hearing about Space of Starcraft.
- theratdotus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1would be awesome, like a better planetscape... upgrade and buy vehilcles and sooch
- smek2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Starcraft MMO? No way. Blizzard DENIES any new MMO." — told ya.
I always find it amusing how fans claiming to know what's best for a series. You're a consumer. Not the creator.
Destroying the StarCraft series? What? You mean, like World of Warcraft destroyed the Warcraft series, yes?
Ah, nevermind, keep drooling over rumors and fanboy-fantasies and keep telling yourself you know what's best for your beloved series. - iainc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2***** Blizzard! I'm not even a Warcraft subscriber and some ***** logged 94 separate subscriptions against my cheque (check US) account using my debit card.
My bank are dealing with it. I'm still waiting for the gimps at Blizzard to return emails. Had to write to their webmaster because they're impossible to get a hold of on the phone or by web form. Have to be a subscriber to contact them by web form.
I'd love to get a hold of one of their European corporate phone numbers if anyone can help.
Oh, and if you by an up-levelled character on ebay then remember that it was probably purchased and is being sold fraudulently.
Oh yeah, and ... ***** BLIZZARD, they just love to help the fraudsters and hide from any responsibility. - kenok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Release Starcraft 2 as an RTS, then Blizzard can go MMORPG-ize it! (Oh yeah... release Diablo 3 first too... )
- ColonelJessup, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Warp field stabilized.
- chingy1788, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Starcraft as an MMORPG releast sooner than Starcraft 2
I would be pissed
They better have plans for an SC2, its been 9 years!
Addiction to MMORPGs leads to death, much like Addiction to drugs
So people, Please Don't Do MMORPGs - fLUx1337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Was posted in 2006....
I would LOVE a Starcraft MMO! I have only ever played starcraft once at a friends, but I have always liked WoW, but not the wizzard style of it. But WoS, with guns, transport, etc?! Whats not to love?!?!
PLEASE Blizz, WoS would be amazing!! - plnegative1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1..... a starcraft mmorpg would destroy the series only because of the multitudes of people hoping for starcraft II. warcraft, on the other hand, was not ruined because the mmoprg came after warcraft's THIRD installment of the series. it's cool that they created warcraft in a different "world", but it didn't ruin it. i know for a fact, though, that a lot of people in WoW have never played the original RTS games...
- Nicko9y, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is not very recent.
Post buried for being a complete digg whore douche. - Anacriosd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I played SC the minute it came out, the Razor1911 release that wouldnt work on battle.net.... after playing through the campaigns, i went out and bought it, and spent the next couple of years playing the ***** out of it on bnet.
the game has been out for 9 years, and there is still millions of people playing it, hell, i pick it up and play it again now and then.
and my point is, i really dont see the need for a sc2... they arent going to make it any better, or more balanced. its just pointless.
i think wc3 was a needless sequel, it didnt have the same impact as wc2 did to the first one, it was just more complicated and more micromanagment.
leave well enough alone, dont bother with a sequel to SC.
instead of making sequels to games that dont need it, like diablo and starcraft... dedicate your dev teams to some NEW IP for us. -
