Ah shit. Blizzard to make all franchises MMOs.

See, that's what happened with me. I played EQ for a year, got tired of it, didn't play anything. Played RO for a year or so in beta, to live, got tired of it, played WoW...

it'll have to be something different, but never 2 MMO's at once.

Yeah um, whatever happened to StarCraft Ghost?

Indefinitely delayed. Otherwise known as cancelled.

Holy shit, napalm finally posted something really logical and nobody seemed to notice it. Yeah, I'm all up for MMO games that are not RPGs. There are some interesting things to be done.

However, it seems like maintaining a large amount of MMO games would become expensive. Lord knows blizzard has a hard enough keeping up all the WoW servers, although they do well and keep updating content. I'm not sure this will last if there are multiple massive online games all at the same time.

Refuted, kind of. - post number 9.

If Blizzard tried to make a Starcraft sequel, I fear the reaction would be the same.

They could just make an expansion pack for SC.

It would sell ten billion copies.

StarCraft 1 is perfected. There is nothing left to do to the game.

An expansion pack with more units and shit would destroy the play balance that millions of hours over 9 years has brought forth.

And StarCraft: Ghost magically coming out and actually being good would be nice too. That game looked so cool when it was announced, like, 15 years ago.

I wouldn't be that worried about them having multiple MMOs out at once. Blizzard has pretty much always kept their main focus on just one large title at a time. The Warcraft and Starcraft games never overlapped one another. Its always years between each of their big titles.
