  StarCraft MMO blasts into orbit!
  
  Saturday 5-May-2007 2:00 PM 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.

  What about Starcraft 2?

  StarCraft 2 will sell.. discs..
  
  StarCraft MMO will sell... subscriptions..
  
  revenue for WoW subscriptions was GBP1.25 BILLION (that's Billion, not Million)
  
  and that's just subs..
  
  the math says, go MMO

  They've put off Starcraft II and put Starcraft:Ghost into cold storage...
  
  .... all in the name of $$$$.

  But really, they're going to have to work twice as hard to make World of Starcraft as successful as World of Warcraft.
  
  For one thing, the two MMOs are going to compete directly against each other. With WoW already capturing a huge chunk of the MMORPG market, WoS is going to find it hard to carve out a niche for itself.
  
  And I just don't see them pulling off a New Coke stunt by pulling WoW off the shelves and forcing everyone to switch to WoS.

  i chose to defer
  
  both may be MMOPG, but they have totally different settings,stories n perhaps (i'm keeping my fingers cross on this) different game play. both WC n SC have their fair share of fans.
  
  for me, i tried out WOW n it wasnt for me though i had been through the WC dynasty. but i'm sure looking forward to MMOGP Starcraft.
  
  hope that it wouldnt be a simple port over from a fantasy WOW to a Sci-fi WOS

  I'm rather bored, but here's a simple theory on the gameplay of it. Perhaps you'll start off as a new hero, BUT .. with an added command element. Think Shattered Galaxy. [ if anyone has played this game before .. ]
