Shadow Wolf Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Most post-BC servers are dominated by Horde thanks to their silly little elves. True that. I don't have a really active Horde character yet, but it seems to me that Horde players in general tend to be better at actually playing the game. I don't know if that's because people tend to play Horde characters after they've cut their teeth on something else or what. But when I play battlegrounds on Stormreaver, which are more or less completely balanced as far as number of players per side, there's about a 1 in 15 chance of the Alliance winning. Group strategies among Horde seem to be followed better. Tell a group of Alliance what to do and you get 15 n00bs telling you to go screw yourself.
Bigfoot Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 The next MMO is going to be StarCraft, says sources. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=163207
TaVeRnErO_RuDd Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 Fuck Blizzard, NO MORE MMOs! Stop it! OK! WE GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE MMOS! do you feel the need to say that in every thread about em?
CE Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 OK! WE GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE MMOS! do you feel the need to say that in every thread about em? Well if it's about Blizzard's MMOs, uh... yeah! /r/ golden age of rts
Bigfoot Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 OK! WE GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE MMOS! do you feel the need to say that in every thread about em? No, I agree with CE. I mean, so is Blizzard going to turn all of their games into MMOs instead of making sequels? They love the money they're getting from WoW subscriptions, so why not make another MMO, right? They'll probably have some package deal thing where you get $5 off your subscription fee if you have both WoW and a Starcraft account activated.
Razumen Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 If this is true I'll be very disappointed. Seriously, Blizzard has been yanking its fans around with all this spin-off BS.
lazygecko Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 It makes more sense that they'd make an MMO. Since the late 90s they gradually shifted more and more towards being a dedicated RPG developer. Many of the original Starcraft developers have left Blizzard by now, and Warcraft 3 barely deserves to be labeled an RTS, and just look what they did with the orc campaign in TFT. I don't think they have the capacity to deliver in that department anymore.
Patrick Burns Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 MMO and RTS aren't mutually exclusive descriptors, imo. Just because cvg added the line, "in the style of wow," that doesn't necessarily mean that they received that info from their source(s). That could be something the dude who wrote the article added.

That could be something the dude who wrote the article added. That's what I'm thinking. If the MMO is StarCraft, then the "next-gen" aspect of it might be an incorporation of RTS elements. Who knows what kind of genre hybrid they might be working at?
eppy Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Not true check http://mmorpg.qj.net/All-Blizzard-Franchises-will-Become-MMOGs-/pg/49/aid/55958 yay 300th post
Upthorn Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Not true check http://mmorpg.qj.net/All-Blizzard-Franchises-will-Become-MMOGs-/pg/49/aid/55958yay 300th post I hate to tell you, but when blizzard says something in June of 2006, that may not still be applicable in April of 2007.
Dunnowhathuh Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 To be brutally honest, I'm sick of MMO's and the prospect of a Starcraft MMO just annoys me to bits. Just too much damn time has to be dedicated to get anywhere in those games, some of us actually have other stuff to do through the week. Not everyone has gone gaga over MMO's, Blizzard (thank goodness some of you agree with me). If the new game is going to be Starcraft (or anything else for that matter), god I hope it's a pure non MMO RTS, hell, I'll settle with your standard single player first person shooter if I have to. That being said, I'm guessing there are a tonne of people out there who are pissing their pants for a Starcraft MMO.
Shadow Wolf Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 World of StarCraft: The clinically proven patch designed to help you quite World of WarCraft! Available at your local pharmacy, or from Bob the one eyed crack dealer over on St. James Avenue.
Shonen Samurai Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Or you could not trust unofficial sources and wait to see what actual Blizzard reps say Just, you know, throwing that out there
suzumebachi Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Why the hell is everyone automatically assuming it's an MMORPG? It's not even official they're making a StarCraft MMO yet, and even if they are, how do you know it's gonna be an RPG? MMORTS, anyone?
Bigfoot Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Because usually when people see MMO, that's the first thing they think of.
HideousBeing Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 If they made a SC MMO, would they call World of StarCraft? Seems inappropriate, because SC spans many planets, solar systems, and galaxies. Maybe Galaxy of StarCraft? My guess would really be StarCraft Galaxies. Of course, I don't want this. Give me SC2.

Yeah, it'd probably be something like that, or something corny like Universe of Starcraft.

Also, if they were going to go with a cheap, formulaic naming scheme, it would probably be Worlds of Starcraft.
NotSoSuperMario Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 MMORTS 4tmfw. real words go here so I don't make a post consisting entirely of acronyms like a bitch.
zircon Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 How the hell would an MMORTS work? If it were a persistant, ongoing world, players could spend months building armies + fortresses (or whatever) while new players get instantly obliterated and have no chance of obtaining new resources. Doesn't seem realistic.
