I have to ask you how you can come up with something as stupid as this? I mean ok you like starcraft but hey, how the h**l would they make a MMORPG from that? The races suck and the combat would make it almost the same as Planetside - boring and laggy.
Bad idea and NO! No way in hell would it be good. I'd rather see Age of Empires as a MMORPG before starcraft!
So, I wonder if you would be able to be a zerg? lvl 50 zerg - head butt does 5000 damage! lol This is why I do not develope games. I went to college for compuer graphics, but after seeing how competitive the whole animation and gaming industry is, I decided to not pursue that avenue. Still Starcraft is a great game, and I would definitely watch to see how the game turns out if a mmorpg of it was made of it.
Originally posted by Sk8andgames Personaly, i think starcraft should have been in WoW place. just because a starcraft rpg would have so much to explore and well we all loved starcraft! ...just think World of Starcraft...i like it.
Lacks creativity to have one!!! (~/) (*.*) (")(") i made a bunny!
lol, so much to explore? SC was full of barren landscapes and there was not a real in-depth story behind it so i dont see how you would have a lot to explore or have any real depth unless it was made up. yes SC was a great rts, but honestly it would be a awful mmorpg.

It wouldnt make sense to make starcraft a mmorpg. It would be very hard to make. starcraft isnt a game to convert to an mmorpg maybe a online fps but not mmorpg.
although i would like to see my beloved SC turn into the greatest typ of game in the world, i dont think that blizzard is ready for that. i also think that it would be a little difficult to make that game into a mmorpg because of the way the plot is set up.
with wc3, it was kind of like and rpg anyway in some since. so i think that the transition was pretty smooth.
another thing to think about is that blizzard has a lot on their plate. they're not in a rut or anything, but if they dont play their cards right, they could end up that way very easaly. if you tink about it, how many companies have been in the business of running 2 mmorpg's at once? only one that i can think of. thats SOE, and they have had a little longer to see what works and what doesnt. because of this, they are able to do things like this a lot easier than most others. if you think about it now, they will be haveing a total of 3 running at the same time - - eq. eq2 and star wars galaxies
i think that once this game is developed, and they have a little more xp in this type of game, they will be able to take the next step and do a second, but for now they need to focuse on one thing at a time.
just be patient with blizzard, the maker of few games, but the maker of good games, and i think that they will suprise everyone with what they have to offer.
I think for a game like SC an MMORPG..it utterly impossible....well...possible..but i doubt it will do good in the markets.....
But! as Dracius said earlier....it would make an awesome MMOFPS..(massive multy-player online first person shooter)
I mean imagine....Marines vs Protoss....inj some way but yeah....or make the story about rouge Marine units...and...o wait thers somehting like this....
Planet side.......
they would make it just like this one...Duh!.....but they could do it none the less.....will they....doubt it....

I said No, because I would way rather see Starcraft 2 as another RTS. None of this crappy 3D Warcraft 3 stuff, but similar to starcraft with obvious improvments. Obviously that wont happen cause of people's obsession these days with graphics and not gameplay....
No starcraft would actualyl be dumb as an mmorpg. It would just not fit into spells and classes and races. JUst from playing over 1000 games of SCbw it just would seem retarded to make starcraft a mmorpg.
I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to do something like this. But I think Starcraft 2 will come first. It all depends on the success of WoW... and if it's really worth it for Blizz to make an MMORPG out of Starcraft. I'm sure this thought has crossed the Dev's mind more than once.
Starcraft as an MMORPG would be very hard to make though. How would you make the characters. "If your a zergling what can you do besides kill humans. What could you buy. Starcraft Is all about on a big battle field and just massive killing frenzies. I guess it could be done but i still dont understand about the zergs it would be hard to figure out what they do. With th MArines you could buy armor,guns,vhichles and stuff and same with protoss but zerg.
starcraft would be really good for a mmorpg, but it wouldn't be like other mmorpgs, for starters there would only be three races.
but the best is yet to come. if you were a terran, you could start off as a crew member aboard some kind of attack vehicle, and work youself up through ranking and ladder systems to be a co-piliot, pilot, or admiral. or you could start off as a cadet and have to work your way through academy, and work youself up through quests given by the professors to a more direct sombat class, maybe even a ghost.
protoss would be really cool, and you could create two accounts and meld to an archon (dark archon's would be disabled, wouldn't be fair to take over other ppl's charecter)
zergs could start off as a whelpling, and quest up to become different classes
well thats all I've got, i haven't played starcraft much, but there is definately potential for a great mmorpg.

No, starcraft would make a great game like planetside! Along those lines, but more advanced and stuf, liek space fights and raids on cities. They should look into doing that.
Starcraft has a good, solid storyline. I think that making a game into a mmorpg will kill that, as i expect to happen with warcraft. Its a shame but how can you expect the same calibur of story when changing a single element requires, new artwork NPC's quests, and possible moving starting cities and binding points. For example if warcraft 3 were a mmorpg you probably wouldnt want your human preist to spawn in lorderon now that it is controlled by the forsaken, despite that lorderon would have been the spawning point origionally. Its disapointing but I dont hink blizzard is going to live up to the challenge of having agood storyline.
I think Starcraft should stay a RTS game. With the Warcraft series switching to MMO, Blizzard only has one RTS series left, and that's Starcraft. I think they could mold a better story and continue to innovate in the RTS genre with Starcraft and I'd hate to see that opportunity lost if they switched it to an MMO.
No. Although space and aliens, especially Blizzard ones, are cool the Blizzard galaxy, Starcraft, is based heavily on range weapons. I think that would be cool but a littlel...one sided. Imagine you are a protoss Templar or something and you are running up to a ghost with something allowing them to see you, even if you are invisble, you get blasted from 250 meters in the game. You never even got a chance to swing your weapon.
_______________________________ If you get up one more time than you fall down, you will make it through.
Although I voted for yes to make a starcraft MMORPG I doubt they would cuz it would be REALLY REALLY hard to make a GOOD MMORPG based on the starcraft universe in my opinion. Now a MMOFPS now that would be something they could make really fun knowing blizzard =D

Although an mmofps would be cool, i agree with feanix. Blizzard makes probably the best RTS games in the industry and it would be sad if they turned starcraft into an mmo. They would probably better off just making a starcraft 2 or a new starcraft of some sort, all of the WC3 players and SC players not going to WoW and some WoW players would play it. It would be very popular and most likely very cool.

it would be difficult to make an mmo of starcraft, thats pretty basic right there.
just because of the storyling system of the game they'd have to put in 3x the work on it, because it takes place in space, planets, and whatnot.
no..th fps game ghost will be as close as they will take starcraft from its strategy genre..
unless they made a weird rpg a lot like disgaea or ff with starcraft characters...
they came from behind!
