The thing is, that even if Blizzard announces that Starcraft 2 is coming, when do you think we'll actually see it? I'm guessing development has already started, they will say they plan on releasing it at the end of 2008, but in reality, it won't be released until the end of 2009.

My surprise prediction: Summer of 2008.

Blizzard translation: 1Q 2009.

I won't believe that until it is officially announced. I just don't see Blizzard leaving the RTS game in favor of a MMORPG that they just released an expansion for and would be competing with for sales.

Yeah I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. But SC and WC would be appealing to slightly different fan bases.

100% untrue.

Edit:
Also: When you have 95% of the MMORPG market, what is the point of making a new MMORPG? There isn't a point. The people who play WoW are already on all day, its not like they have time for 2. They would just be taking money from themselves, as opposed to other markets.

But then they would have people paying $15/mo for WoW and $15/mo for WoS 🙂

I just hope it's better than the rest of their post-Starcraft stuff! Starcraft took over 5000 hours of my life, much more than all the other games afterwards combined.

EDIT: 3:05 - Morheim says everyone eager to see actual game - going to show actual gameplay - bringing up SC2 lead designer. Dustin Browder.

Hopefully screenshots are shown soon! 😀
