RUMOR: NetEase Claims StarCraft Online License

yes. and with it, a new starcraft fanbase will be created and starcraft will be bigger than ever and then we can see a starcraft movie in the future. yey.

my idea for the zerg, like different type of carapace, claws, spikes, etc...and there is also stat for the zerg players, like an agility build hydra or a tank build hydra. lol

i want starcraft online not be just hack and slash type of game, the player should control all character movements like jumpin, shooting etc, so that there can be pros and noobs in the game. ^^

 

What happend with WC3 when WOW turned out? 80% of the players shifted to WOW.
What happends when SC2 turns out and that MMO turns out? You should be able to conclude the rest.

 

If at any time, Starcraft Online comes out, I would hope it would not end up like WoW, but be more FPS, WoW was too, adventury. Starcraft online should be more epic and like Battle Front or something, that would be too cool.

 

they can release starcraft online 2 years after starcraft 2. and starcraft 2 expansion 1 year later after sc2.

 

Yes, StarCraft as a first person shooter! That would be sick. Picture choosing 1 of the 3 races before the battle starts and when you go into the battle you get to choose what unit you want to be on your team. If you get a lot of kills per death you get "minerals" YOU personally can invest to get upgrades to a type of unit or unlock a new one. That would be a sick concept. Terran would be new weapons armor for the tanks and marines (machine gun, sniper). It would be epic since both the protoss and the zerg would have lots of close combat units while the terran are frantically trying to keep them from getting too close with all the firepower they have.

Let me assure you that this idea will almost never or never actually even be taken into consideration when Blizzard makes another game BUT it's still cool to think about.

Picture being a marine with a zealot 'charging' at you or a dark templar uncloaking and hacking you in two...

 

I can't agree with it. Most of current sc playerbase are people attracted to starcraft's value as an RTS and won't move so easily to new genre. Plus playerbase will likely grow by a lot with sc2 (and an MMO) so there will probably be even more RTS players instead of less

 

starcraft online is still starcraft. so newer players who doesn't know anything about starcraft but started the starcraft onlinde game will get to know the rts version of it and maybe play it as well. and the rts player ofcourse will not abandon the rts starcraft but rather play both in case one gets tiring etc. ^^

starcraft online will make starcraft bigger.

the graphics would be stunning. imagine raynor in teh in game cutscenes of sc2 campaign or better as the model use in the MMO starcraft online. WOW!

and it would be not the typical hack and slash MMORPG games, sc2 online would have different and innovative play style never seen and experience before.

like if you feel that you can rush and destroy tanks at the moment then play your level 70 zergling and use your skill to dodge and path your way to the noob(driver) of the siege tank and strike it down with your combo skill etc. and then you can upgrade with new claws or upgrade your ling to become bane lings, in a guild war you sacrifice yourself for the swarm. or when you dont have hp left turn your lings to banelings and blow up the marne in front of you 8)

 

Blizzard: "We haven't announced plans for anything called Starcraft Online"
- well that doesn't mean it is ''not coming'' ;-)

Blizzard have smart ways to tell and hide upcoming games.

 

That title was misleading. They didn't say they weren't making it, just that they haven't announced anything and have no comment right now.

Personally the idea of a SC MMO (RPG or otherwise) is very exciting and I would love to see Ghost revived.
