This may be late news, but according to GamesIndustry.biz, a Blizzard employee announced that Blizzard is working on a future MMO.

“No, it is an unannounced Next-Gen MMO. And that doesn’t mean an expansion for World of Warcraft either.”

What’s your take on this?
ooo, im intrigued. I doubt it will be diablo tho. it kinda implied that it was a new game in total. Also, i hope this doesnt interfere with the SCII production!
Maybe a SC mmo to be based on some new “lore” of SC2 and also replace SC:Ghost
it could be diablo.
Aren’t there already screenshots of a Starcraft mmorpg out there somewhere
IIthink it will be world of starcraft, or that idea with a new name. Blizzard did WC3 and in that mindset went on to WoW so they are now in the SC mindset so maybe a SC mmo.
I really hope it’s going to be a StarCraft MMO, I’m really hoping for one of those.
Yeah, SC MMO would be awesome, I’d actually play it(unlike WoW)
it is not a starcraft mmo they making starcraft 2 starcraft 2 aint an mmo the mmo of starcraft pic you saw was a world of warcraft screenset they said it was just what they thought would look like cause they thought was gonna be mmo its not mmo or starcraft
not a starcraft mmo i mean
How would you even do a starcraft mmorpg, there’s not enough humanoid races in the game to play as
Well, I thought of a Starcraft MMO, and it could certainly work. Instead of gear, you fight to level up for talent points like in WoW. But, There’re many more talents, along with the ability to earn talents for certain things from quests. This way you could mold a character with thousands (millions?) of different combinations. It sounds kinda complicated, but it’d work nicely I think. Long as the system was tested and proven of course.
So, if you wanted to roll a character in the SC MMO (I like to think System of Starcraft), you’d pick one of the three races. That’s it, no classes. Then, you’d do some quests, get familiar, etc. etc., then after a few levels pick a talent tree to begin into, probably 10 or so they could make. Then you can go down it, which (here it’s different from WoW), you could open up new talent trees, etc…
Hmm, complicated but it’d be nice. The customization seems endless. Hmm, the combat would have to be fun though, as you couldn’t collect gear and such… maybe items that boosted stats or gave abilities when equiped?
Well, if it was true, Ryno, if they did make a “talent tree” like that, say you rolled as a Protoss. One of the tree’s could be leading towards a high templar, dark templar, or just a Protoss warrior, like a Zealot.
mmo doesn’t necessarily mean mmoRPG. A starcraft mmofps would be way awesome, way cooler than an sc rpg . doesn’t necessarily mean it ISN’T an rpg either though.
Well hasnt anybody ever heard of the all time great game “Shattered Galaxy” the very first MMORTS on the market, it was never a success in the mainstream however.
Lemme tell you, if blizzard picks up on the MMORTS idea they could do very well. Basically picture starcraft battles, but only instead of joining a “channel game”, well instead you join a map on a WORLD MAP, where anybody else could join that map. Basically the land is vacant untill somebody hits it, then it opens up then a challenger comes in.
Terran has their team vs toss and zerg, the best Faction wins the prize at the end. Basically what you fight for is honor points or maby new “special units” or weapons or whatever. Anyhow thats how Shattered Galaxy is set up and its hella fun.
wow,if it gonna do the same thing wow did to SCG,then i dont like it.scg stands for starcraft ghost.Could have been a big hit.
I am not sure that I can completely understand your comments. Would you be so kind as to expand on your reasoning a little more before I comment.
