And it could be World of Starcraft if people are telling the truth here.
It's still just speculation, but Blizzard does have an announcement prepared for its May 19th convention, and it has been hiring programmers from all the fuck over to work on a "New MMO"... Of course, a brand new MMORPG to come out and immediately compete with World of Warcraft doesn't make much business sense, which leads to additional speculation. Either it comes out way in the future, when WoW will be phasing out in favor of new games, or it is a different kind of MMO. (MMOFPS like Planetside has been thrown around, as has the vague-ass term "MMORTS") DISCUSS. |

Would be strange if it wasn't Starcraft related, as they're announcing it in South Korea... the country that apparently have TV channels dedicated to the game. 
Of course, I'm not sure how huge WoW is in South Korea relatively to other countries though I do know that South Korea loves multiplayer games. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Ailure Korea isn't nearly as fond of the entire Warcraft line of games. Although Warcraft 3 and WoW have a decent following there, they isn't nearly as big as Starcraft. |

Damn, I was hoping for Diablo III when I first read the thread title
I was never a big fan of Starcraft myself, so if this ended up being made into reality, I probably wouldn't buy it. There are TONS of people who like the game though, so this may turn out to be a big hit, who knows  ____________________ Want custom overworld music in your SMW hack? Download this.

Posted by S.N.N. Keep in mind that, although CVG is usually careful and makes sure it is right before it reports, there is a serious possibility of them being wrong. World of Warcraft basically stole many aspects of Diablo's game system; a Diablo MMO would be easily possible given the game's history, and would be quite interesting given the settings of the game. Of course, they'd have to find some way to bring the big 3 demons back again, but I bet they had something in mind when they wrote the end of Diablo II. |

Well there is no confirmation this has anything to do with Starcraft, much less an MMO. Only their choice of location in announcing it really hints at it being Starcraft related.. And the whole MMO buzz just seems to be a lot of hot air and wishful thinking. I'd sooner hope it to be a Starcraft II honestly.. (Or hell, even a revival of Ghost wouldn't be so bad, though I'd be much less excited about that one..)
A Galaxy of Starcraft title or whatever would be kind of bold a move for Blizzard, since they'd end up directly competing with themselves in the MMO market, and as well spending a lot of resources at the same time to make an entirely new game.. right after they already announced awhile back that they intend to release a WoW expansion yearly..? I dunno, they could potentially saturate the MMO market by covering both the Fantasy and Sci-Fi genre in one big swoop like this.. (They already have a gigantic grasp on it with WoW alone) But I'm not convinced that it would be such a good idea right now.. Besides, Starcraft has been dead.. what, ten years now? Something like Ghost was a smart idea in reviving interest in the series.. Jumping straight to an MMO after all that silence just seems poorly thought out. |

I doubt it'll be a MMORPG and if it is, it'll be a very different one than WoW.
Regardless, it'll be a good thing, I for one trust Blizzard. |

Umm... What have they done particularly bad in recorded history, if I may ask?
Hmm... Is it wrong that I'm tempted to take this opportunity to subtly inspire hopes in one of my more Starcraft-addicted friends that it's going to be a sequel to SC so I can laugh at him if it turns out not to be? (It could always be a Lost Vikings sequel. That would make me laugh in a non-malicious way.) |

Posted by XeogredPosted by Krisan Thyme What I meant was.. It'd be smarter worldwide to start lower, and revive interest in the game that way than to jump straight into an MMO.. But yea, it is still nutso popular in Korea, so that doesn't apply there.. |

Dude I play Starcraft quite a bit still.
And I hope this is Starcraft related, but not a MMORPG... ____________________  |

Posted by Krisan Thyme If you read the article, they claim to have inside sources on it. Now, you could argue against it's possibility for one of several other reasons, but I don't think that holds water if you believe that they do have sources. I doubt it's anything Lost Vikings related (That's not where their money lies, I doubt they'd use a major Starcraft-related Korean convention to announce a new game just to disappoint the crowd), but the Galaxy of Starcraft talk might be wrong, too. It could very well well be a non-MMORPG Starcraft game, considering the fact that they are still hiring a lead programmer and art director for a "Next-gen MMORPG." (thus implying that their next-gen MMORPG doesn't even have a lead programmer yet, meaning it is not that far along in development.) I think it might very well be a new game in the Starcraft vein, although whether it will be a true "Starcraft 2" or a related game with different gameplay like Ghost was supposed to be is still up in the air to me. |
