World of Starcraft or Diablo

This makes me an excited gamer as originally the idea of World of Starcraft was nothing more than an April Fools joke this year at Gamespot, but it may actually happen, atleast that is what a company representative from Vivendi reportedly said.

The representative was quoted as saying, “all Blizzard franchises will become MMOGs.” The rep also said that they have a model in place to produce a massively multiplayer online game for $50 million over the next three years.

World of Starcraft or World of Diablo could be something to imagine today, but you could be picking the box off the store shelves in under three years.

From the no-longer online Gamespot April Fools Joke article:

And then there’s the Protoss. Protoss players will get to make a binary choice much like Terran players (although, we’re not sure if there will be female Protoss in the game), opting to become either zealots or templars. Zealots are the Protoss’ vanguard, responsible for direct combat both on foot and using vehicles. Templars are the Protoss’ strategists and magicians, capable of support casting, special reconnaissance, and much more. So whereas Terrans will have a stricter weapons-versus-vehicles decision to make, the two Protoss military branches are less rigid. For example, zealots will later be able to pilot heavily armored scouts or carriers, whereas templars may train to become powerful high templars or may even gain control of time-shifting arbiter spacecraft.

While I am not into World of Warcraft, I could see myself easily into World of Starcraft, just because I am a sci-fi future junkie. Please Blizzard, don’t let me down.
