World of Starcraft???

think its possible???

 

no.

and it cant be world. It has to be the universe.

anywayz, no.

 

Nope just no. BLizzard won't take away Starcraft too

 

I'd buy it.

Just sayin.

 

Maybe in 2025

 

Depends on what kind of game you would like.

If you would like a RPG, with your character to build up, that would just be a kind of mod of World of Warcraft, but instead of using swords you will use machineguns, instead of fighting orcs you will fight zergs, and instead of flying with griffins you will use dropships.

But if you want to stick with the Starcraft theme, the RTS, we could imagine a game based on SC2, where basically everytime you win a game, you got an extra piece of a planet under your control, from where you can plan your next attack. And you have whole solar systems to conquer this way. Every races would have to perform giant meetings sometimes to define their general strategies, and this would be a giant scale RTS, with everybody playing somehow in the same game.

 

I think he means an MMO, but from the looks of it he's just trolling.

 

Dude, that idea is sick
It could be awesome, but instead of races, the ones controlling planet sections should be the clans, not to be realistic or anything, but to spice it up.
Imagine the guild wars OMGZORS

I really loved that idea

 

I'd vomit.

Unless it played like PlanetSide.

 

Erf I did not notice: ><

I fell into that!

Sure, there are plenty of possibilities from this basic concept!

 

No..
The only thing that would and is working right now is WoW.
Even if a World of Starcraft would be made I really doubt it reaching a bigger crowd.
Besides, I think Blizzard would rather upgrade WoW instead.
And I doubt they really need another game: About 8 000 000 people pay monthly for WoW.
Yes, I think Blizzard is making money just like any other company / corporation out there.

Don't agree? Check my carebox: it's empty.

 

I ****ing luvD that idea of how clans contoll planets
BUT, it would be like boring since I think that Blizz would have to slow it down so that like, U logg in, order ur drones to do sumting, log out, w8 like 1 hour, log in again and se the structure or whatev. U ordered them to do, finished...
Oh, just realized now that I was writing this post It would not be boring since the planetary fights would be starcraft2 like...
stupid post by me lol

 

The first part sounded awfuly like ogame/travian. And these are awful

 

I found a different forum on this smae subject and an actual member of blizzard signed in and told that they were playing with this idea (before the creation of WoW) and decided not to since not enough people were into SC or something. this is true story, don't believe me then google it, it lost the link a year ago. but I would buy it if it were a possibility and would be atleast twice the size (and maybe cost) but would probably get not as much money for WoW since only maybe a quarter of blizz fans love SC or something. just putting into the middle of nowhere or ranting

 

Well.... Maybe it could be MMORTS? Where you build up your own nation in the universe of starcraft.

 

I have often thought about MMORTS's, and especially in a set universe like starcraft with long continuing battles, they are near impossible to make

For an example, what if you need to log out during a battle
Can people still attack your terretory even though they have an unfair advantage due to the fact they can micro?
do people who play 2 hours a day have twice as much troops as the ones who play 1 hour a day?

 

i suppose the same thing that happens when you log out during a battle in WoW you die.

 

there is a problem with that though
in WoW, you can ressurect, in starcraft you lose the entire army you built up

 

Maybe your a Mercenary like Raynor is. And when ever you die you take out a loan on a new battleship? Like maybe you start out with a small fleet and you make it grow. And you can gain control of planets and W/e and you can cruise the hulls of your primary ship like in the SC2 terran campaign.

 

For an MMORTS to be fun, each race with have to be HUUUUGE and super expansive. There would need to be tons and tons of different options to choose from and advance to, just tons of different technologies for unlocking abilities, units, buildings, etc. To spice it up even more, players could trade techs or even steal some. In a sense, you could compare it to an MMORPG where you build up a character and interact with a world, where as in this "starcraft universe" you build up a faction and interact with a universe.

But I see the issues you all are talking about, and yeah it would be difficult to impossible to pull off ... some creative system would need to be thought of for it to work and be fun.
