Last year, when Blizzard announced (or should I say admitted) that they’re working on a new, huge project, many fans of the company’s franchises were hoping for a Starcraft 2 MMO to come out. A sort of World of Starcraft, which Blizzard had already wrapped up nicely in an April Fool’s joke a couple of years ago.
When Starcraft 2 was announced to be a strategy game, I admit, I was slightly disappointed, since I was hoping to quest around Aiur with a melee Protoss Zealot (the equivalent of a tank in World of Warcraft maybe?) or a long range Zerg Hydralisk (hunter powa!). Don’t get me wrong, I’m very anxious at the thought of playing a Starcraft strategy game once more, but the thought of being “down there” with the troops in an MMO was fascinating.
