Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Breathe, and repeat two three-word mantras:
"It's a beta."
"Give it time."

I'm going to laugh when in a week all of you are back to playing the game.

As a fellow member on Lighswarm's team, I have already decided to boycott SC2 as well. It was ridiculously easy for me- the last thing I want, and dumbed down to the point where it does most of the difficult gameplay itself. It has no right to kill off the spectacular BroodWar, and I for one won't be a part in letting that happen.

SC2 (the name of which is a joke for a start, because it barely resembles BW at all in fact) is certainly identifying a lot of sellout "celebrities" in the scene, who have switched over instantly, their love of the HUGELY better BroodWar mysteriously forgotten in favour of something which can briefly make them a little more famous/look like better RTS players than they really are...

2 years down the line, you'll all be regretting the decision to sellout to Blizzard, and I hope for your sake that us faithful people who have our heads screwed on and can differentiate true greatness from hype and marketing, can keep BW alive for you to come crawling back to, when SC2 fails to deliver.



lol if i were you i would cash in on this and go win some major tournaments;)

I would like to point out that I enjoyed the games I played on SC2. I think its a great game, bit different than BW, but a great game nonetheless. Believe me when I say, "I want to play this game upon release". I would also like to point out that the problem with spamming channels came from bots that created unlimited account names, whereas in SC2 (so far as to my knowledge), one key gets only one account. Unless Blizzard is concerned that hundreds of people flooding a channel is so detrimental, I believe them not implementing chat channels will be detrimental to the community.

LOL for one thing I don't need the rather pathetic amounts of money one bit, and for another, that is not what it's about!!! Gaming is not just a money-making scheme for me. You should meet SaviOr, you'd get on like a house on fire...
