Starcraft MMO?!

Link!

This should give WoW a run for it's money. Blizzard wins either way, though..

hahaa South Korea, blasted koreans :/ i've played against a korean in SC its simply scary how good they are.
however i dont see sc as an mmo working out it would be rather strange and confusing

 

[Gopha]

People thought that about warcraft though

 

[Sephiroth]

warcraft or world of warcraft? alot of people seem to think they're unrelated xD and i personally would like to murder them for being complete idiots but meh!
WoW had some background, at the end of brood wars the whole galaxy was doomed, is this a standalone MMO or does it have something to do with starcrafts ending?

 

[Nanor]

....does it have something to do with starcrafts ending?

You read the same writing as we all did.

 

[PsiSoldier]

Also starcraft 2

 

[Sephiroth]

Starcraft 2 is just a rumour psi, but that only from what i've read Blizzard hasn't said they're making it which means it cant be included in this MMOs production

edit: i just saw the rolling eyes, my bad lol

 

[PsiSoldier]

You slower than usual today

Does blizzard have to win, are you sure, is there no way they could lose

Could possible suck up all the WoW players into WoS promising better, only for it to be utter pants and all their customers leave WoS and don't return to WoW fearing the same would happen there.

Long shot but it's possible.

lol be realistic psi, most people on wow are so absorbed and addicted they'd die if they left
no everyone will hate it because the koreans are too good at it lol or perhaps the system just really sucks (koreans they never die i swear!! they always another 50 units waiting for you ALWAYS!!)

cant wait till we get more info tho, then we can tell if its gunna suck or not

I have only one thing to say in response to that...

LOLOLOLOL!!

MMO, is different to MMORPG - we could end up with a planetside clone... only better!

Though, i think i would prefure to see starcraft in an upgraded warcraft3 engine.

 

[Sephiroth]

no i refuse to see starcraft go to warcrafts system! it makes more sense to be planetside 3empires

Heh, then you'd literally have the Zerg...

Though there's an obvious balance issue in a MMOFPS for Starcraft...

Terrans are numerous but fairly weak individually.

Zerg are extremely numerous and extremely weak, individually.

Protos are few but strong, individually.

In an FPS, individual strength matters as a good team balance is not guaranteed; you'd want maybe 1 Protos to 2 Terrans to 3 Zerg or something similar. How'd they manage that?

Unless, of course, the only playable race was Terrans... hmm...

 

[Sephiroth]

the balance would come in the seperate weapons i'd think in terms of PS Zerg would be TR, Terran would be NC and Protos would be VS...
each team had their own unique balances, protos shields and power, zerg numbers and terran where sorta in the middle (minus the shields)

edit: to fix the issue with the zerg numbers they'll have to give them something special... probably an overpowered meele but who cares?

 

[Nanor]

A terran civil war?

 

[Sephiroth]

try earth forces against the terran alliance

 

[Ronin Storm]

That's starting to sound suspiciously Babylon 5...

 

[Sephiroth]

i've only seen 3/4 eps of Babylon 5, 2 of which had something to do with an evil cloud that destroyed planets...

(which means i didnt mean to make it sound like babylon 5 )
