What will happen if blizzard announces world of starcraft?

I think some people die from heart attacks for sure.:lol:

And I'm playing starcraft now and I don't understand the story.Can anyone tell an overall story of starcaft without spoilers?

Aliens vs aliens vs humans.

If they announced a World of Starcraft now - I'm pretty sure people will set fire to the Blizzard offices. And I'd boycott all future Blizzard games.KHAndAnime

See sig

They said their new mmo wont be based on starcraft or world of warcraft

People would be angry, but a few issues back of PC Gamer was talking about this and saying how blizzard "has deep pockets and the balls to try something like it". But I don't think they will start developing one.

South Korea would declare war to USA and would start nuking every city close to Blizzard's HQ in California, then they would take over the HQ building a new operational military base around it; and then of course they would force everyone to work on Starcraft as an RTS, killing a civilian every time one of the devs looks away from his Dev C++ interface :P

Starcraft's story is one of the most fascinating in gaming industry, in my opinion it's the best, even thou I agree it's hard to grasp in the beginning if you don't know the background, which isn't mentioned clearly in the game. Also, you may want to follow the chronological order of missions to get a better overall understanding (basically, if you do any zerg or protoss mission before you completed the terran campaign, you won't be able to understand a flying bit of what's going on and you'll miss most of the awe from the story).

I think the best way to get it all is to replay the SP more than once. You must have a lot of spare time for this but it's really worth it.

Watch all the ppl prepare to grind

3) Blizzard delays Starcraft 2 numerous times. Wasn't this game supposed to be out by now? Blizzard then admits they delayed it to take care of WoW.KHAndAnime

Wait, what? Last thing I heard was that Wings of Liberty got delayed because of the revamping to Battle.net...

Hopefully their new MMO is an FPS game. That would be good. Planetside type game made by a company like Blizzard...

Adding a WoW type formula would really make the game great.

Hmm...it's odd that I can't find the interview you're talking about. And don't think that this means I don't believe you (in fact, considering that all development studios have a finite number of human resources, I would suspect it to be highly likely), I just find it strange that I missed that interview. :?

Fanbois would RAGE! :x

I found this on the web but I'm not positive as to how it translates.

CY2009 Q2 Net Revenue by Platform (GAAP):
MMORPG: $324 million (31% of net revenue)
360: $231 million (22% of net)
PS3: $152 million (15% of net)
WII: $118 million (11% of net)
NDS: $48 million (5% of net)
PS2: $44 million (4% of net)
PC+Other: $41 million (4% of net)
PSP: $17 million (2% of net)Activision Blizzard

I think it's their net income for Q2 of 2009. Notice the "MMORPG" title...

Source: http://www.gamegrep.com/industry_news/23645-activision_blizzard_q2_cy2009_financial_report_195_million_net_income/

So yeah I'm guessing they do rake in a lot from that single game.

Wait I just found another funny one.

Since our merger one year ago, we have delivered better-than-expected financial performance for four consecutive quarters. Our second quarter overperformance was driven by Activision Publishing's PROTOTYPE, Transformers®: Revenge of the Fallen, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the Guitar Hero® and Call of Duty® franchises, as well as Blizzard Entertainment®'s World of Warcraft®.Robert Kotick

See if you can tell me what's funny about it.

People don't just play StarCaft just for the StarCraft branding, taking StarCraft (a RTS) and turing it into World of StarCraft (MMORPG) is changing your core audience. I for one will personaly hunt down, ###### the Blizzard CEO and hang his head on a pole outside the office if he EVER thinks up this stupid idea.

It's like saying we're taking chocolate and growing a vegatable that is called Chocolateroot. 1) Is it real chocolate - No, 2) Is it sweet - No, 3) Does it contain anything chocolate - no but is has chocolate in the name,,,, eh NO it aint chocolate so stop calling it that!!!!!!!!!

Don't you mean Galaxy or Universe of Starcraft? :|Nerkcon
