way to ruin everything blizzard, forget *insert beep* stupid MMORPG games and get to making a bloody starcraft 2 RTS, instead of wasting all this time on crappy online RPGs and stupid addons for crappy warcraft 3 :mad:

Oh great.

So what's going to happen to WoW? It's going to end up a ghost town as everyone rushes to play this new MMO instead.

Plus Blizzard suck at running just one MMO, imagine what it would be like with two.

The problems with MMO's is that they are MMO's! Unlike real life, once something new pops out everything is gone all the late nights and precious items. I think leveling up my self is a better idea

I doubt it will be out for a year or three, by which time everyone will probably be sick of WoW and its 3 addons....

You're right there! I imagine it will be awesome though - WoW never really appealed to me, but this one may just drag me in

Hey, welcome to reality. Happens with every MMO. In time, numbers fall.

what zerg owns dark templar? there invisible, dark templar versus any single zerg unit results in victory to protoss, cause there only detector unit is the overlord and spore colonies. yeah well done blizzard, what a suck ass idea, anyone whose NOT playing as protoss put up your hands? (they were afterall the single hardest race in starcraft) oooh wonder if psi-blades work properly in this, fancy some sushi!

Those people are pretty much addicted. It's a great game, backed up with an awful support service.

Protoss were very weak once you were past the beginner stage in multiplayer.

Starcraft would suck as an RPG so no point debating it
