World of StarCraft Now There is an Idea!
Not long ago Blizzard Entertainment started giving us information on StarCraft 2 and most of us who loved the original are waiting with baited breath for its release. I am among those waiting but in my opinion Blizzard could have another smash MMORPG with a game called World of StarCraft.
In my humble opinion the MMO industry needs a good sci-fi based game. I know that there are games out that are sci-fi based but I did say we needed a good one. Sony Online Entertainment has Star Wars Galaxies but anyone who has any knowledge of the genre knows that the game is dying. FunCom has its hat in the ring as well with Anarchy Online. I was a beta tester for Anarchy Online and while it was interesting the performance issues that it suffers among other things relegate it to the “only on patch day” type of game.
There are so many of us who would love to jump into the StarCraft world and duke it out as Terrans, Protoss, or Zerg. There could even be a space combat based part tied into the game that would attract FPS (first person shooter) type players.
StarCraft has a rich storyline just as World of Warcraft does and in my opinion it could be developed into a space borne cash cow. Developing StarCraft into an MMO must have crossed the minds of the developers at Blizzard. If it hasn’t then they need their collective heads examined.
If Blizzard would put half as much effort into creating this game as they have into their other smash product World of Warcraft, we science fiction lovers would be in heaven and Blizzard might have to open its own bank to hold all the cash. See you all in World of StarCraft…I hope.
