*** Starcraft 2 MMORPG? ***

StarCraft MMO blasts into orbit!Saturday 5-May-2007 2:00PM Blizzard's new sci-fi MMO is set to rock the world later this month, CVG has learned. The long-rumoured new instalment of Blizzard's massive StarCraft series is set to be unveiled later this month - and it's another massively-multiplayer online game in the style of World of Warcraft, CVG can reveal. Well placed US sources have revealed to us that the StarCraft MMO will be unveiled at an upcoming Blizzard event on May 19 in South Korea - the epicentre of the sci-fi RTS series' rabid fandom. The unveiling of the new instalment has previously been rumoured for the South Korea event, though we now know that the title is in fact an online spin-off and not a new RTS game as previously assumed. Of course this is massive news for both Vivendi and the MMO world; Blizzard's other online offering World of Warcraft has topped 6 million subscribers and is arguably the biggest game around today. The question is, is there room for both World of Warcraft and a StarCraft MMO? The later will have to be a very different type of online game to convince gamers to subscribe to both of Blizzard's pair. We will of course let you know as soon as soon as Blizzard officially confirms the game on May 19.

Either people will be paying Blizz to play WoW, or paying Blizz to play WoS. Either way, Blizzard is making the money.....

Blizzard has denounced the fact that they are becoming an exclusively MMO company and I'd really hate them for turning Starcraft into another cash cow.

In my opinion this is bogus. Things like this have been wrong many many times before.

There is talk about this on GAF, and it seems to be true.

I guess there is no hope for D3. 

Thats bad news....mainly because we are gonna have to wait at  least 3 more years for this to be released, as blizzard won't release anything other than some wow espansion in this time period

also, that means our hopes for a true starcraft sequel are destroyed. and whats even worse, we can give up on diablo 3 for an undefinate period of time (well, at least hellgate: london is coming out)

The makers of Diablo 2 had quit at the release of patch 1.10. So the hope for D3 never existed. 

I'll believe it when I see it.

yes but now most of those people are now part of Flagship studios and are making another game like Diablo called Hellgate: London, which you should check out
