do you think blizzard would ever come out with a star craft MMO?

that would be the day, it would explain why they havent come out with starcraft 2

 

Blizzard was working on a project called Ghost wich was based off of Starcraft if I remember right.  That Ghost project was canned in favor of World of Warcraft.  If Blizzard cans a project it was probably for good reason.  I am sure they will revisit Starcraft someday.

Actually Blizzard pawned off Ghost to a 3rd party company they were working with, the quality was not to Blizzard's standards to they canned it.  Has nothing to do with WoW.    But your right they did it for a good reason it was crap and incredibly behind schedule a complete liability to their company's rep.    No one really knows what other projects they'll take on WoW's so huge their development studio is already heavily over crowded and they're still hiring new people which up until WoW became a known fact was kind of rare to see them hiring so much.    Hopefully they will take on another pc game soon thats not an MMO I kind of miss their regular games.

Tired of pointing this out, but at no point does THQ, Games Workshop or Vigil say anything about this being an MMORPG. Their terminology is MMOG, which implies it's not a friggin RPG.

Expect a FPS like Planetside only done better.

Well, do not forget that 5 or 6 years ago Blizzard were in the process of creating a single player warcraft rpg.  I'm sure if you looked in the right places you might find a screenie or two of that old game.  From my recollections they werent terribly dissimilar from World of Warcraft.  Now, if my memory serves me correctly within a few months of canning that project the announcement came about WoW.  I somewhat suspect that Ghost as a single player game was canned in favor of a new mmo.  I could be wrong, but with the vast popularity of Star Craft in korea etc that they can not pass up the opportunity to have Universe of Starcraft become the mainstream choice of entertainment for some 10 million+ gamers. :P

Yep your spot on with that, I remember screenies in my PC Gamer Uk of the Warcraft RPG, think I remember seeing an orc at a camp fire as one of them.

The only thing which plays on my mind is how they are gonan setup the factions.. this isn't like the warhammer world EVERY one hates every one there is no Mr.nice guy i hope they dont side up the imperium with eldar or some shit it will get on my nerves..

Also i hope every one wont go Marines or the game has already gone down hill from the start :S

I was very glad when I heard about the 40K MMO... until I found out it wasn't a product of Mythic... (Like many of us)...

But still, it can be a great product. Of course, we haven't seen anything yet so it's to soon to say that it will suck / rock. Time will tell.

It's not being developed by Mythic, so there's no reason to expect RvR combat. As such, they could set up the game to have every army fighting against every other army if they so chose. A MMOFPS like PlanetSide with the persistent soldier/upgrade system of BF2142 would be awesome.

It would appear that Blizzard is, in fact, working on a New MMO, and the talk about celebrating a new starcraft game makes it pretty obvious what the MMO will be based on.
