Won't happen. Blizzard North left Blizzard way back when... and Blizzard North was the team that created both Diablos. Starcraft 2 would be awesome, if they added a few more units, and made the graphics better. Shutting down the SC servers would be stupid though, I doubt SC2 will support user-made maps, as SC staff already do not support them, even though they make up 80% of the games.
I'm a HUGE fan of starcraft, up until a few months ago i still played it on battle.net, but i personally think a new race in Starcraft 2 wouldn't be that great, it just wouldn't fit into the story... unless of course the new race is the "hybrids" we find that Samir Duran was making.. but even then they wouldn't be able to play anywhere near the role that the main races currently do. but those are just my ramblings :lol:
Yeah, well, that's not really something I'm worrying about right now. One reason for shutting down the servers would be to force people to move on to StarCraft II. However, Blizzard isn't stupid. They can tell if there will be any repercussions, and we can see quite a few already.
if this is going to be release then can't wait for it, I've been waiting for a sequel of SC2, (last time I played campaign, terrans (?) were trying to combine a zerg and a protoss) so this is gonna be interesting but I do want to see a more 2D game like the first one with some improvements cuz I', not really feeling the 3D side of this (if they are gonna make it 3D)
http://www.wc3campaigns.net/revolution/index.php A team thats making a mod for WCIII, that will get SC to be 3D Theres a couple of screenshots on the site and etc http://mods.moddb.com/3704/project-revolution/ Theres a video on that site for a trailer too it, looks good!
<3 Starcraft. Not to offend by posting such a short post, but World of Starcraft wasn't even a speculation. It was an April Fools Joke by Gamespot.
