Yes, if I didn't have to pay. Otherwise, smurf them because of SC patch 1.14.
So no then.Quote:

'Mowgee'?
Pronouncing 'MMORPG' (Mamorpaga) is how I would say it, but now that I've typed it out it looks like a Final Fantasy spell.
That's a fantastic pronunciation, and I am hereby going to use that instead of "Em em oh are pee gee".Quote:

An SC MMO would be leet. There's not enough good scifi mmos.
:D
man.... imagine how many nubs would choose to be Protoss.
Can't say I'd blame them. There'd have to be some serious balance work done. Protoss are individually the strongest units out there. There are plenty of Zerg fanboys, but, since the Zerg's biggest strength is numbers, they'd have some trouble keeping up. Protoss shields alone would give them a major advantage if they hold to the WoW style of play. It'd be like a self-regenerating Power Word: Shield.Quote:

Unfortunately, I can't see the majority of the Terran units being implemented that way. Goliaths, Vultures, Siege Tanks would probably never be seen in an MMORPG, since they are vehicles, we'd just get Firebats, Medics, Marines, and Ghosts (which means 95% of the human players would be ghosts in the beginning).
Yeah tbh Ghosts are the only "cool" infantry unit..but they can always change a few things, we might even see Vultures as mounts. I aint into the PvP thing, but i might be fine just playing it once in a while.
Im going to make up a class chart for how I would see it >_>
lol i take this piss out of warcraft saying World of Starcraft would own WoW i think it would anyway..
As long as they don't name it "World of..." and as long as they add something new and original to the MMO scene. Everything's getting way too generic.
well isnt starcraft more... Planet to Planet :]
If there were a SC MMO there'd be some radical changes to the classes, out of necessity. A well-played Pally is still pretty formidable, but they're nothing next to Arthas and Uther. By the same token, Warriors are far, far more powerful than Footmen ever were (Or Knights, for that matter). So by the same token here, there would be massive changes of skills and abilities to balance things out.
It would be great to see three diverse races without identical classes, though.
And yes, I would be Protoss. They are sexy.
Ghosts and High Templar would be SO rigged. Although I think they would remove the ability to merge into an Archon, unless they change the history to figure out that High Templar can temporarily become Archons by themselves, and that it takes two to merge permanently.
Dark Templar? Win. (MC in DA form+Cloak plz)
Zergling? Win. (Agi based assassin = <3)
Hydralisk? Win. (any unit with a potato chip flavor based on them in Korea is automatic victoly)
Although Vulture based heroes would have a sick ride. PIMP MY RIDE, BEEATCH!
I doubt Archons would be there, and MC won't be there, unless it is like the MC in WoW, temporary and it prevents you from acting. Dark Templar would be awesome because they'd be permanent stealthed Rogue units with shields.Quote:

Rogue Units:
Ghost: Stealthy attacker, but focuses on ranged rather than melee combat.
Dark Templar: Melee unit with shields and permanent stealth.
Zergling: Fast and agile, and can burrow to hide.
Warrior Units:
Firebat
Zealot (or Archon if they have them)
Ultralisk: Probably the strongest armored units in the game, with the attack to match, definitely the Zerg tank.
Mage Units:
The closest the Terrans had was the Science vessel, and I don't think that'd work.
High Templar
Defiler/Queen
Priest Units:
Medic: Only real healer in the game, so we'd have to add one for the other classes.
Hunter Units:
Marine
Don't think we had a ranged Protoss ground unit, unless the Archon is allowed.
Hydralisk
That's probably how it would work, I would think. They could also make it so that it works like Pets in WoW.Quote:

Dragoon, but they werren't organic units, despite an organic host. Goliaths would also work well in this situation (for Terran). It seems Marines can do anything; just ask Jim Raynor.Quote:

It's unlikely, but possible *keeps fingers crossed*

I mean, you could say that warriors are like foot soldiers or grunts, but since when did grunts have abilities like cleave or sunder armor? Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single unit in WC3 that is dedicated to healing, but in WoW you have 1 pure healer and 3 classes that have healing abilities.
So I doubt that you're going to see the exact same classes in a SC MMO that you do in SC itself.
Well, it's just a general idea. Things could be radically different (and likely, they are).
However, WoW combines the lore and gameplay of three games and their respective expansions, not just one. WC/WC2 has dedicated healer units, and also had a dedicated Mage/Summoning class.
As for Grunts Sundering and cleaving, we are not sure that they don't do that. It's mostly a representation of battle, rather than seeing it, as we don't actually see Paladins using EVERYTHING at their disposal, and even Mages don't use everything. In a cutscene, Jaina hid from both Antonidas and Arthas, yet she does not use Invisibility on herself during the in-game campaigns. Grom Hellscream himself was a Grunt (albeit a very skilled one).
Of course we aren't going to see a Carbon Copy, but at least we can get an idea. Ohh, what about players using Mechs (Vultures, Golis, Wraiths, Scouts, whatnot) to race or complete missions, and you have to upgrade the Mech everyone once in awhile, oo that would be tasty! a very diverse element to SC indeed.
Dragoon maybe o_o?Quote:
